My son was arrested back in 2015 and charged with Attempt First Degree Murder. My son promised me he was innocent and I was not going to let him go to the penitentiary without a fight. I was referred to attorney Hal Garfinkel and I was told he is a fighter. We met him at my office on a Sunday and he ...really listened to us. I will admit, he is not cheap but money was no option. I had to get my baby back home to our family. We had a three day trial at 26 and California and my baby was found NOT GUILTY OF ALL charges. He was facing 21 years in jail and he walked out of that courtroom with us. Hopefully, you will never be in the position we were in but if you are, there is no one you should contact other than attorney Hal Garfinkel. I'm telling you, Mr. Garfinkel was great. He worked on our son's case day and night and you could tell when he went into court he was prepared. Hal, I cannot thank you enough for what you have done for our family, for my son, and for our entire community.

I heard about Hal from my sister's boyfriend who had hired him about a year ago for a complicated fraud case. I interviewed several other attorneys before I sat down with Hal and honestly I did not know what to expect. We met at his office in the loop on a Sunday and I gave him all the information ...about my case. He did not promise me anything other than he would do his best. I was arrested for a bogus fraud case and I really believed I was innocent. Hal spent two hours with me going over the facts of the case. He really listened to what I had to say and I just felt that he was different from the other attorneys I spoke to. In the end, we went to trial and I decided on a bench trial. The case took over a week but ultimately, I was found NOT GUILTY. Hal, there are no words to describe how grateful I am for all that you did for me and my family. You are truly a God's send. Thank you. Listen to me, if you are ever charged with a criminal case, there is only one lawyer you should consider hiring and that is Hal Garfinkel.

There are no words to adequately describe what attorney Hal did for me. I’ve been under Federal Investigation by the DEA for 18 months and I couldn’t sleep or eat. I contacted Mr. Garfinkel after speaking with a buddy who told me he does federal work. Needless to say, Hal met with the US Attorney’s o...ffice in Chicago last week and not only was I not charged, the entire investigation was closed and I can go on with my life. This guy is the real deal.

The Chicago FBI task force showed up at my house with CPD and searched my house and car and found a pound of marijuana and a 9 mm Handgun. I was arrested in state court and charged with Armed Violence and a Class 1 drug offense. A friend suggested I contact attorney Hal Garfinkel. I met Hal at his of...fice with my wife and We instantly felt comfortable and at ease. After a year and a half, we went to trial and I was found not guilty and acquitted of all charges. I am so grateful I trusted my friend and hired Hal Garfinkel. If you are ever in need of a criminal lawyer, trust me and contact Hal Garfinkel,

I hired Hal to represent my son who was charged with a gun charge. Hal promised me he would investigate the charges thoroughly and if possible, file a Motion to Suppress the handgun. Amazingly, Hal was successful and won the motion and the case was dropped. I hope I never need to hire a criminal lawy...er in the future but if I do, no doubt I will call Hal again!
