Timothy Patrick Nance

What can I say to express my gratitude......My son was charged with a Class X felony which at max would have given him 45 years in prison at minimum 21 years. Today my son walked out of court with all charges dropped. It took 3.5 years but Mr. Nance never asked for more money other than the origina...l fee, he was patient with my son, never missed court and he stayed professional. I highly recommend.

Mr . Nance is a horrible representative for innocent minority women as myself or any one who is innocent of a crime .He was hired by my family with my savings ,while I was incarcerated and I paid an initially $ 1000 to begin my case. Mr. Nance purposely disregarded my 1st court date and strung me alo...ne for over a year while I fought for myself in detainment . Eventually, with out any assistance from Mr. Nance I was able to get the judge to allow me to fight my case via electronic monitoring which , He adamantly tried to block even though he was paid his entire fee on $5,500. While On house arrest for 27 months. I pleaded with the courts and Mr. Nance for movement to take care of my children including my disabled son ,and to work to provide for my family which he ignored . Evidently the judge granted EM with little to none assistance from Mr. Nance . Time and time I prayed for signs to fire Mr. Nance after being afraid to do so ,as he constantly instructed me to plea guilty to a crime I never committed and lied saying that the law would not allow fingerprints search to prove my innocence even though my personal research said otherwise . Prayer works ! The first sign that I shouldn’t ignored was Mr. Nance showing up for court with a Black eye . Last but night least after 26 months of my freedom being deprived and the day I had exhausted my hope and decided to plea to a felony thinking it would give closure per Mr . Nance advice. A person case was stated in court before me with similarities to my case . With fingerprints as proof of the defendants innocence he was freed and his case was dismiss , right before my eye!!. I conveyed the information with Mr. Nance in the hallway were his temper became aggressive, instantly I begged the judge to remove him from my case and was appointed a free public defender who proved my innocence in weeks . The day of firing Mr. Nance , I asked him to refund some or most of my 5.5k since it was his own decision to constantly drag my case and not fight for my rights and he had did nothing to earn it . He responded that “ if I didn’t beat the case as his expertise of the matter was concern he would contact my family with a stipend for refund and that the law says he had as much time to release it as he fought my case “ which was 23 months . Subsequently, I was rightfully found innocent and 3 years later he will not respond to my calls for the money . This guy is not a trustworthy person and I see why he was injured with the black eye . I believe in higher faith and I know that one day he will reap what he sow . The 5.5 k paid to him in full was not earned and was a severe detriment to my family before ,during ,and after my case resolution. Thank god for the public defender in Bridgeview who notice my innocence and did the job he vowed to the bar to perform . Mr. Nance I hope one day you will treat people right and know it is innocent till proving guilty and not your job to intimidate and coerce a person to plea to a crime they did not commit . If I ever find a way to get my money I promise to challenge you for it. In the meantime have some dignity and treat all people the same regardless of race , gender background or your very poor judgement . God bless !!!.

Facing two felonies, I spoke to several “top shelf” attorneys and all wanted $2,500+ and said I would probably still have one of the felonies on my record. My wife called her old neighbor Tim Nance as a last ditch effort to see if he could score a better deal. Tim agreed to take my case and for much... less than the other attorneys showed up to my court appearance 30min early, didn’t listen to my “be story” I had concocted and said be right back. He came back outside 15min before court started and said you’re all good. He got both felonies dropped and the police officer who arrested me reprimanded. Dude is a bad bad dude who takes care of business, sort of like those mafia lawyers in movies. To this day he remains my hero and Role model, Tim is the best.
