Lucky I found Mr Garfinkel to be my attorney.

After discussing my case with three other attorneys, I interviewed Hal. I found that Hal was different. He asked not just about the case, but about my family and every part of my situation. Every other lawyer asked only about the offense and how much they would charge me. Two things are import...ant I learned in my case, having a bull dog that will fight for you as well as someone who is connected. That is more important then you would think. The system does not work so you better have an attorney that understands how to work the system and deal with prosecutors who want to win at any cost. Hal fought for me, my family and my future and I was lucky I had him and I only received probation instead of many years as the prosecutor wanted due Mr. Garfinkel's ability of being a great attorney.

Transfer DUI case

We were dealing with a DUI case since December Of 2015 with a previous lawyer. Finally when the case was done and we had accepted a deal of 300 hrs Community Service and AA meetings, the only down side was we had to move back to Chicago to compete this. How were we suppose to up and move within 3 wee...ks to a state we no longer reside in?! A close friend of ours found Hal... he got the job done, not only did he transfer our case to the current state we live in, he knocked off those 300 hours of Community Service. No missing work! I recommend Hal. He is an aggressive lawyer. Very professional.

The Attorney Who Can Get The Job done

Hal Garfinkel is the attorney i go to when I have had any traffick violations, or criminal cases to deal with. He was able to help me with a Speeding violation through a construction zone and made sure he talked the problem head on. I was thankful to have him as my attorney and defend me in court. I... highly recomend him to anyone who is dealing with criminal cases.
