Philip Robert Nathe

Phil was extremely knowledgeable of the local traffic laws and how to navigate the legal process resulting in all of the charges being dropped for my recent accident. This resulted in no traffic or court fees and did not require me to go through the supervision process and kept the accident complete...ly off my record. This is extremely important as I am a high school student which can have big implications if I were to have a second incident.

There was a period of time at the end of my high school years and my first year of college where I was charged with weed procession, underage alcohol and DUI. Mr. Nathe represented me in all charges. He was very understanding, supportive, and non-judgmental. Each time he explained options and helped ...me decide a course of action. His experience and knowledge of the court system and the tactics of the local police department were extremely valuable in minimizing the charges. Later he was very helpful in working with me to expunge or seal several records to avoid future impact.

I received a DUI a little while back over Memorial Day weekend in Naperville (Dupage County), which absolutely ruined my holiday weekend, as well as had the potential to ruin at least 6 months of my life with a loss of my license. I have never been arrested for anything before and was in absolute sho...ck. As soon as my long day was over from dealing with my bond as well as getting my car out of the tow yard, my only focus was to start my search to find a lawyer. Knowing nothing of lawyers, I Google searched for experienced Naperville and Dupage County DUI lawyers. A few websites popped up, but most were very non-informative and amateur looking. When I came across Phil's website, I was thoroughly impressed. He has many years experience, specializes in DUI cases, and was a former prosecutor in the Dupage court system. I scheduled a free consultation right away. I went in with my Mom due to she had experience with lawyers in the past and would help me make a good decision. In the consultation, he was very personable, down to earth, and was very informative and knowledgeable about the DUI court process in regards to my case. After reviewing my case, he told me he would fight to get the DUI rescinded and at worst should have no problem getting me 1 year court supervision. Unlike other lawyers, he had a straight fee of $2500 which took any guesswork out of the cost and was a very fair price. Upon hiring Phil, he got to work right away on my case and kept me informed of steps I needed to do, as well as copied me on all letters to the city/prosecutor etc. All the weight and stress on my shoulders right after the DUI was lifted knowing that I had chose a great lawyer to fight for me in this situation. During court he was extremely professional and after meeting with the prosecution, told me that they had agreed to put me on 1 year court supervision which meant I don't loose my license!! I was so happy and so relieved. I walked up to the judge signed a few papers with Phil and was done. After walking out of court, he explained all the steps I needed to take after that and although court was done, he stated that just cause court is over does not mean that he his done being my lawyer. He said to contact him with any questions at any time and he would be there for me. Phil has the knowledge and professionalism that you expect when working with a lawyer, but he also had that caring and casual personality that made it feel like I was just talking with one of my friends. If you are faced with a DUI in Dupage county, and it can happen to anyone, I highly recommend you meet with Phil Nathe right away. Here are the advantages in my opinion: • Many years experience in the Dupage Court Systems • Specializes in DUI • Former prosecutor in the Dupage Court Systems • Works in the Dupage Courts every day and he personally knows many people there, including judges, so they will give him more respect than some random out of town lawyer You will not be disappointed! I have my license back because of Phil and he is not only my lawyer, he is now my friend! Thanks again for everything Phil!!
