Stephen M. Komie

On behalf of a caring community, and I, as an informed observer, recognize and celebrate Stephen Komie, of Komie and Associates, with a five star rating for his defense of a client whose case spanned 12 long years under the injustice of the court system. Mr. Komie inherited this case of extreme mag...nitude from another attorney, and ever so gallantly brought in a forensic psychiatrist who interviewed and tested the subject and came to the conclusion that this person did not have the ability to knowingly form the intent to do something wrong. With his passion, legal expertise, and sacred calling, Mr. Komie was the joyful warrior who fought for someone who needed a voice. Three cheers for never giving up, for righting a wrong which should never have materialized in the first place, and for bringing about a discharge of that which was brought against this individual. In conclusion, you, Mr. Komie, are held in the highest regard, have earned distinction in your chosen field, and have brought abundant blessings to those you have boldly represented! - RCM

Oh my God! Mr. Komie got my husband time served for money laundering. He represented my family throughout a decade long ordeal of a government investigation of my family’s grocery store, the arrest of my husband, and my prosecution deferral. He guided us through every step of the legal process which ...was unfamiliar to me. He negotiated my deferral prosecution agreement for helping my husband transfer money. He represented my husband throughout the entire time he served 97 months through plea and awaiting sentencing. Mr. Komie helped me plan a sentencing hearing for my husband which included my family members. My daughter Elizabeth, age 7, wrote a letter to the judge and read it in open court with Mr. Komie’s encouragement. His professional approach to the sentencing hearing and his legal arguments persuaded the judge to reject the presentence investigation recommendation of an additional 91 months on top of time already served. I was praying with my rosary beads as the judge pronounced the sentence on my husband. It was a roller coaster ride. And when the judge agreed with Mr. Komie and sentenced my husband to time served, my heart was filled with joy. God granted my prayers. My daughter jumped with happiness. Later that day, I discovered how happy my daughter was that the judge had listened to her and granted her prayer to send her daddy home. Thank you, Mr. Komie, and your team of fine lawyers for excellent presentation of my family’s case and sending my husband home to me and the kids.

In 2020 I traveled to the east coast to meet with a long time romantic boyfriend to say goodbye during his last days. We had a wonderful weekend together remembering all the good times. I was pleasantly surprised when he gave me the beautiful gift of financial independence as one of his last acts. We... stored it in my car and started driving home. In western Illinois, I was sleepy and pulled into a rest stop near Princeton, Illinois. I was rudely awakened by cops pounding on the window. They rousted me out of my car, searched my car, and claimed that the gift of love given to me by my old boyfriend was drug money. They even took the money right out of my blue jeans. I thought America required warrants until I met these pirates of the highway. Luckily, after making inquiries, I found Stephen Komie and his team of crusaders to get my money back. In autumn of 2023, he was successful in restoring the funds that had been taken from me. Komie and Associates won back money that we never thought we would see again! They were very friendly and professional. Mr Komie went out of his way to explain things and make it easy for us. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

I was busted driving my car through Blue Island, IL smoking a doobie. I need medical marihuana because I have a herniated spine. The pain is excruciating so I took a smoke to kill the pain and allowed me to get through the day. The sergeant who busted me said the smoke was coming out the window. He p...ut me in handcuffs and found my edible gummies and ginger snaps. So I went down for a felony. To top it off he threw in an intoxicated driving. I was up for Manufacture and Delivery plus DUI plus Driving while Smoking. I contacted NORML, they recommended Stephen Komie. I cannot tell you what a wonderful job he did busting the fuzz. When all was said and done the felony was gone, the driving while intoxicated was gone, and I left the courthouse after pleading guilty to misdemeanor possession of edibles Komie saved my life. So I am still able to get a job, earn money and have a career. If you’re busted by the cops, you need Komie!

Back in 1991 I was passing thru the train station. I was stopped by the DEA. They searched my bags and found 126lbs of weed. I was facing mandatory min. For interstate trafficking and attempt to deliver. I came to first date. After words he made a reservation at the old rose bud restaurant. Needles...s to say after a few more visits. I was home in Florida with probation and a fine. Best representation I've had. Thank you.
