Mr. Garfinkel Is A Great Lawyer And Helped My Husband!

My husband got in trouble for the first time in his life with a charge of a controlled substance and of course we were out of state in Chicago, and ended up in the wrong part of town , got pulled over, searched, and so on. Once we realized we had to get an Attorney, we had no clue where to start or ...which one to pick. We are also from Indiana, so we did not know any Attorneys in Chicago. However, once we found Mr. Garfinkel. we knew we made the right choice and felt confident with him. Mr. Garfinkel helped my husband and got the whole thing dismissed. Now my husband is home with me by my side as I was so scared he would go to prison. Mr. Garfinkel had it all under controlled and told us not to worry, that he had it taken care of. I am happy to say, Mr. Garfinkel really kept his word and you can trust him that he will take care of you. His fees are very reasonable and affordable, he is trustworthy, and caring and plenty of experience. We are both very relieved everything worked out and we would certainly hire Mr. Garfinkel again! I was so happy, I burst into tears when the case got dismissed! I couldn't thank him enough for what he did for us!

No Jail Time....

I must say that I am extremely happy with my services!! Mr. Garfinkel was very professional. He helped my husband to get no jail time. He always answered the phone when I called, he was available, punctual, and reliable. His prices are also very reasonable.

Professionalism and Execution!

Hal Garfinkel is the real deal! I was referred to him from a close friend of mine (DUI case, actually two friends of mine (other was related to gun possession), and now I can clearly see why. He knows the system and how it works, is well-connected, knows when-and-how to do what, is very aggressive an...d efficient in court, and will execute the plan to a T. He holds his end of the deal, so this is definitely the attorney you want representing you!

Nobody works harder than Hal!

Hal Garfinkel gave me another chance at life after successfully defending me against an unlawful weapons charge. Mr. Garfinkel was very detailed in his review of all evidence and aggressively attacked the statesments made in court by witnesses. Due to his hard working and dedication I am now a free m...an with a second chance for a successful future. Thank you Hal. I wish you nothing but success and God's blessings on you and your family.

A great lawyer with a wonderful personality!

I currently had Mr. Garfinkel represent me in court for a driving on a revoked license. He was very professional and made sure that I got the best deal possible. Hal cares about the people and makes sure you know all your rights. A very good lawyer in my book.
