Traffic Violation

Clarissa is a fantastic lawyer. She helped me from almost the beginning to the end. Everything went smooth when I dealt with her about my case. She's a very knowledgeable person and knows how to handle cases. If I ever had to deal with something like this again, I'll go to no-one else but her. A...+

Traffic violation

I had court for driving and speeding 30 miles above the speed limit. I was so nervous that day because I thought I had to pay too much money for the infraction, take classes, or temporarily suspended my driver's license. Well, my lawyer Clarissa Myers was able to help me out with saving my driver's l...icense, not taking classes, and lower my monetary infraction more than half. She would respond right away to my questions, so next time I get in trouble ( I hope not again), I won't hesitate to hire her services. She is very professional and bilingual too.

Excellent Attorney A++++

We used Clarissa Meyers for a Very Sensitive Criminal Case that prior to Clarissa being Retained did not look like for an easy and or satisfying result without her Representation. In addition,We did spend a lot of time researching and talking with other Lawyer and law firms. Based on the Knowle...ge and communication that we received from each call, text and Email in addition to Written updates along the way , we were so confident in her abilities and the Specific understanding of the Law and the Process we always had a secure feeling the whole time she represented us . I personally and my Family will Highly Recommend Clarissa Meyers to Represent us in Any Furture Cases. In addition the fees that were quoted during the Represention We're Very Fair,especially considering the attention to every detail and excellent communication and explanation of the case during And after it was resolved!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Clarissa is an amazing lawyer and zealous advocate for her clients. I interned when she was working at the DuPage County Public Defender's Office and got lucky getting assigned to her. She taught me SO much. Honestly, some PDs get a little complacent, but Clarissa was anything but. She fought hard for every single one of her clients and stood up to anyone who stood in her way. To this day, almost 8 years later, she remains one of the best lawyers that I've ever known. I'm so happy that I got the opportunity to learn from her."
