The best!

I was lucky to have Hal referred to me by a friend. I gave him a call he personally answered and immediately started looking into my case. I got a dui in April of 2016. All the odds were against me but Hal looked at me in the eye said he was going to fight for me and he did by my second court date he... was successful in rescinding my statutory summary suspension. I defiantly recommend Hal to be by your side in the court room. He does not give up and is very intelligent, aggressive and passionate about what he does.

Best Attorney there is

My son had a very difficult case that involved domestic battery; DUI and driving on revoked and was looking at some serious lock up time not to mention a state’s attorney’s office that seemed to want to set an example with my son’s life. We called Mr. Garfinkel and I was impressed with his straight ...forward, to the point and honest attitude. He looked into things and told us his plan. The situation was very complicated due to the states attorney dragging things out for a year, and Mr. Garfinkel never gave up he is a very determined lawyer and delivers what he says. My son’s case went to trial and watching Mr. Garfinkel in action is an amazing sight, it’s like watching a master at his profession and very impressive. Mr. Garfinkel won the case in one of the most difficult counties in the Chicago area and I can understand why they never stood a chance once it was his turn. My son is at home with his family and will tell you he will forever be indebted to Mr. Garfinkel for finding the proof that he should not go to prison. I as the mother of the defendant will never be able to thank Mr. Garfinkel enough for saving my only son from a horrible situation. I would recommend Mr. Garfinkel without hesitation and he will always be our family lawyer. Results you can count on and the professionalism, devotion to the client, and the skill and integrity that is not easily found today. Do not hesitate for one second if you want the best because you have found it.

Hal Garfinkel is the best!

Back in November I wrote a review (please see below) on how great of a job Mr. Hal Garfinkel did on helping rescind my summary of suspension to receive my drivers license back. Just when I thought I witnessed a defense attorney at his best, I did not. I recently had my DUI trial take place, when I ca...ught site of all the witnesses the state prosecutors were able to get to attend the trial, I thought I was done, did not think I had a chance to come out victorious on this case. I was wrong, Hal would not go down without a fight and I when say this I’m DEAD SERIOUS! His knowledge of the law is unbelievable; his cross examinations on the arresting officers and civilian witnesses is incredible. State prosecutors did not know what hit them; words can’t describe how aggressive Hal is when the doors close in a court room, because of Hal I am now able to return to my normal life and not have to worry about having a DUI on my record. As I mentioned in my previous review, Hal was the right attorney to hire. I called the individual that referenced Mr. Hal Garfinkel to me and thanked him for such a great recommendation. Hal is dependable, determined, and last but not least he is the best of THE BEST! To anyone in need of a criminal defense lawyer, please look no more, HAL GARFINKEL IS YOUR GUY!! Thank you for your dedication Hal!!

If you're looking for a hard-working determined guaranteed lawyer hired Hal Garfinkel!!!
