Great man with a professional demeanor and understanding of the Law. Im an Iraqi Veteran that was accused of a Sex Crime by a fellow student at a top Chicago University 2 years ago. Without knowledge of the Law I believed that I could handle things on my own and let the truth substantiate my version ...of events. Needless to say I was naive and irresponsible in my actions. After meeting with Mr. Garfinkel, He assured me that he would work hard to bring my case to a close. He was patient and willing to fit me in for a consultation, especially with his condensed schedule. Within a month, Mr. Garfinkel was able to put an end to my open case. Please don't wait to schedule an appointment! I did and It almost cost me everything that I have worked for in my career. Placing my case in Mr. Garfinkel's hands granted me the freedom to finally be able to move on with my life and put this terrible situation behind me.

My son was charged with felony sex crimes due to computer solicitation of a minor which turned out to be a undercover officer. Mr. Garfinkel was able to negotiate with the prosecutor and obtain TASC probation as well as to reduce his charges so that he doesn't have to register as a sex offender. Thi...s is unprecedented results because it allows my son to have a chance at normal life once he's done with his probation and will be able to have his record seal after 5 years.

My dad has never had in encounter with the law and to say my family and I was devasted is understatement. Hal was an excellent attorney with supherb legal skills. His turn around time was excellent. He worked deligently on my dad's case and it was very much appreciated. He gave us his word and ...stayed true to everything he promised. If he says he will call you back at a specific time that is exactlly what occurred. I will admit he has a way with words, but that should be expected from any good attoroney. I would definitely recommend him for any crimal case.

I was charged with two identity theft felonies when I contacted Hal and he talked to me right away, no waiting. He told me what to expect, how much it would cost, and that he will put 100% of his energy into getting me off without a record. He did just that. He put in a lot of work and time into my c...ase, which ended up taking longer than we anticipated. He still kept his word and he was able to get me deffured prosecution. Instead of having a felony on my background, I now have to complete my community service hours and put this behind me with no record of my mistake. Hal did an amazing job and stayed on top of everything. He always answers calls or texts and is extremely easy to get a hold of. He presented me to the court in the most authentic way and he was able to show them exactly what kind of person I am. Hard work, dedication and passion is what you can expect from Hal Garfinkel.

Attorney Garfinkel just represented me in a criminal Stalking/Protective order of Protection case and he was amazing. He won my case; he presented everything to the judge and it made all the difference. It was a case that was very complicated. However, Attorney Garfinkel was spectacular in his presen...tation to the judge. He presented all the facts and evidence in a remarkable and passionate way. I really appreciate his help in winning this case; a case that just went on and on for months. I have the utmost respect for Attorney Garfinkel. He is an amazing attorney, litigator; he is very efficient and very smart. He sees things that are not there, and he can nail and hone in on things that are unique about your case. I would definitely hire him again if I needed representation. Attorney Garfinkel is amazing, efficient, professional, and strategic as far as your case is concerned. I would definitely hire him again and excellent attorney bar none.
