DUI case in Illinois
From the front desk assistant, Charlie, to my attorney, Charles, my experience was nothing but professional. Every question I had was answered in a timely fashion and I felt that they were truly on my team. Having them back me up along the way led to success with my case and I can't be more grateful. My consultations with Charles helped me gain confidence in court. Hiring attorney Antonietti was the best decision I made and would do it again.

I highly recommend Antonietti Law as well as Attorney Charles E. Antonietti
A family member of mine got into some trouble with the police for the first time and of course, was very concerned about the legal ramifications and how this would hurt him down the road. Mr. Antonietti eased our minds about the whole process. From the first meeting to the last and throughout the entire legal process, Mr. Antonietti provided great legal advice, customer service, and overall professionalism. I am also very happy with the outcome my family member received. I do not believe my family member would have obtained the result he did without the consistent and knowledgeable legal advice offered by Mr. Antonietti. If I ever have another family member or friend in need of a great attorney, I will always reach out to Mr. Antonietti. Thank you so much for everything!

Generates Results
I hired Charles Antonietti in the middle of my high conflict divorce when I decided to change my former legal representative due to inefficiencies; this turned out to be a decision that saved my family. Mr. Antonietti and his legal team utilized their diligence and ingenious legal aptitude to win rights to my children, in which full custody was eventually recommended. My children are so much happier in their stable environment now. Communication was always thorough as well as realistic expectations discussed with transparency regarding the judicial process. It is my belief that Mr.Antonietti provides the most competent services for his clients. I have also given referrals to several friends, all of which have had more than satisfactory results.

Help with a real estate dispute.
Mr. Antonietti provided insightful counsel to a real estate dispute for which I was involved. Mr. Antonietti was very professional during our time in court and in negotiations with the opposing attorney. He represented me and my interests very well. We won the case. I recommend Mr. Antonietti to friends in need of counsel.

Great experience!
I hired Charles Antonietti to act as my attorney in a post divorce domestic case against my ex-husband. This was arguably one of the most stressful times in my life, and I was so happy to have a compassionate, professional, and knowledgeable attorney by my side in court. He successfully represented me, and I highly recommend him as an attorney.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 1994.

Further suspension stayed issued in IL, 1994
updated on 07/29/2016

Further suspension stayed means the attorney has been suspended, but that the suspension is placed on hold (and ultimately removed) if the attorney complies with certain requirements. Typically the requirements are included in a probation term the lawyer has been given at the same time.

Charles's comment: “I successfully completed my probation and have been practicing law as a attorney since 1995. I am the owner of the law firm of Antonietti and Associates, specializing in Criminal Defense, Divorce and Family law.”

Suspension followed by probation issued in IL, 1993
updated on 07/06/2016

This type of suspension means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. When the attorney returns to practice the State monitors the his or her activities for a period of time.

Charles's comment: “This suspension was due to an alcohol related incident that occurred 25 years ago. This incident was not related to my work as an attorney or my ability to practice law.”
