Harold Mark Garfinkel

I'd like to say this man is very professional and promising for the time I needed him. I was doing 101 mph in a 55 mph zone and pulled over by a State Trooper. Thankfully, I found Harold and he began fighting for me. Today I can be the person I am today because the final decision I had was given as f...ollows: Supervised 12 month Drivers License, and a fine. I am so grateful for someone who can work wonders like this man. A Class A Misdemeanor to a Petty Offense, if you need anything, this man is the one you should be having to fight for you!

I needed to hire an attorney to defend my minor son who received 3 citations at once while driving on the Tri-state. Speeding 101 mph in 55 mph zone, improper lane change and following too closely. Speeding charge by itself was serious enough to leave a life long smear in driving and other personal... records whatever they may be. So, I new that I needed the best attorney I could find in order to beat it. After reading some very positive reviews on avvo and talking in person i decided to hire Mr. Garfinkel. Not for a moment were we disappointed with our choice. With NO scare tactics to prepare us for defeat, Mr. Garfinkel calmly set the goals, outlined the defense strategy, explained the process and maintained an effective line of communication throughout. He did exactly what he said he would. Speeding charge was reduced to 80 mph petty offence, the other two tickets were thrown out. I was really impressed with his level of professionalism and how he handled my son's defense. I truly felt calm and confident with Mr. Garfinkel as out attorney. Hopefully I will not need attorney services in the near future, but in case I do, I know who to call! I will sure recommend Mr. Garfinkel to all of my friends. Undoubtedly, nothing but the great experience to report from out interaction with Mr. Garfinkel.

From the 1st time I met with Hal I knew he was the lawyer I needed if I wanted to win my case. I was being charged with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon. He made me feel that we had no problem winning this case. He is very intelligent and we'll spoken. He knows lots of people and they all seem to ...love him. He looks at your case in every aspect and puts everything he has into your case. Watching him up there do his job us like something off a movie, it's pretty amazing. I would definitely recommend Hal for any case you have. He is definitely the man who can get your life back to normal. I was looking at being a convicted felon and losing everything I worked hard for. I have a good job I'm in the Army National Guard and I want to be a police officer. Thanks to Hal I have another chance to have a great future.

Hal is an amazing Attorney I ran into a situation where I went to a concert and was accused of trespassing by security because I walked through the wrong door and was given a citation although I had tickets to the concert. I couldn't believe it I was shocked first time I ever got in trouble I felt li...ke I was being accused of a simple mistake that anyone can run into. I right away knew I was going to fight ticket. When I first met Hal he asked about my situation and I immediately saw confidence in him which is why I hired him. He assured me that he was able to get this taken care of with no hesitation he told me not to worry about it. I talked to other attorneys and some just did not have the confidence that he has. When we arrived to court Hal did all the work and I didn’t have to do anything he got the ticket DISMISSED he did what he said he would. I was highly satisfied I would definitely recommend him. Thank you Hal you’re the best!

I contacted Hal after my brother was arrested and needed representation. In our conversation, he offered more than a price quote, he offered a plan of action after listening to me. I do not live in Illinois and was not able to be there for my brother's court appearances. With Hal, that didn't matter.... He kept me updated and made sure that I knew exactly what was going on with the case. I would highly recommend Hal to anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney.
