Posted by Patricia | March 09, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Professional & Genuinely Caring

Ms. Magana was great. She fully explained my ticket & the charges against me. She came up with a good solution. My tickect was lower than the police officer wrote and he advised me to plea guilty. By hiring the best I received the best representation. Thank you so much!

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I've known Patricia for years. As a fellow attorney handling many of the same types of cases, I've had an opportunity to witness first-hand her professionalism in court and the high degree of representation she provides for her clients. Her knowledge of the law is exemplary and she has one of those engaging personalities where everyone knows and likes her. In addition, she served a term as President of the DuPpage County Criminal Defense Lawyers Association. She planned valuable legal education seminars, published newsletters keeping members updated on changed in the law and organized various that resulted in a large increase in our membership during her term. I heartily endorse Patricia."

Criminal defense lawyer | Feb 16

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I had several cases against Ms. Magana as defense counsel whilst I was an Assistant State's Attorney. While staunch in the representation of her clients, I always found her to be both personable and reasonable, which added to her reputation as someone to be trusted. I still recall well over a decade ago her gracefully teaching to me the importance of the doctrine of corpus delicti. For these reasons and more, I would highly recommend Ms. Magana as your defense counsel."
