Stephen M. Komie

Mr. Komie and his associates went into overdrive for me. From the beginning, Mr. Komie and associates stood out with their knowledge and expertise and ultimately managed to reduce what I was dealing with to basically a slap on the wrist. I really appreciate their hard work and determination to get ex...cellent results. They calmed my nerves and helped me stay on route to become the best version of myself. The team truly understands and cares about fighting for you. You can understand the respect that they deserve and have earned over the years. You can be sure that you’ll get the best council. I can’t express how thankful and appreciative of them I am. Great Attorney and great people. I’m glad I hired them!

Busted by the Il. State Police on I 55 outside of Springfield with more than 100 pounds of weed. My family found Stephen Komie and his defense team. I was facing a mandatory minimum of 12 to 60 years in prison. I was out on bond in 8 days. The State offered me 30 years. Mr Komie counseled my to reje...ct it because he could do better. Mr. Komie and his team of outstanding lawyers developed my defense to the unconstitutional stop of my car over 3 1/2 years. I never lost faith that he would fight for me although I became unemployed due to Covid 19. Boy did he get me a soft landing. He reduced 100 pounds to 500 grams. I plead to 2 years Second Chance probation with a deferred judgement with out a felony conviction or prison. He sent home to California and my family. I recommend Mr. Komie for anyone who screws up & faces legal troubles. All the other lawyers told me to plead and do time. Not him. He was the the only one who keep me going until he worked a great miracle. He reduced 100 pounds to 500 grams with no felony conviction and a deferred judgement. Mr. komie is simply the best lawyer for big legal trouble.

I am from California and I was accused of a Felony in Chicago. Finding Mr. Komie was the best and luckiest thing that could of ever happened for me and my family. I was apparently in a lot of trouble, and not being from Chicago, it was very scary and stressful. From the first court date when I saw... the amount of respect the other members of the court (Judges, States Attys, Clerks, Cops, etc) had for him when he walked in the room, I knew I was in good hands. My case was not looking so good but Mr. Komies' cool confidence and knowledge of the law set me at ease. He worked my case for every angle, looking for the right combinations of strategies to defend me from going to jail. My mother would attend my every court date and I have the up most respect for how her talked to her, listened to her questions and concerns and explained everything so she could understand and go home and sleep at night knowing her son was in the best hands possible. I LOVE him for that alone! He has a genuine interest in your case and he wins. That is what he does, he wins. Being from out of state travel expenses can add up. With him being the outstanding SUPER LAWYER that he is, the judge would waive my appearance when ever he requested it to alleviate my travel expenses and time I had to take off of work. His concern for my quality of life was prevalent and he constantly told me not to worry. But like all defendants, I worried but I had complete faith in him to pull through. The court was offering me 4 years. The State never backed down and to be honest at times my faith wavered. I was preparing for the worst and so was my family and friends. The States Atty would make horrible accusations and fight our motions, looking at me like I was a sitting duck. They way the State acted it was like I was going away forever. Mr. Komie would just smile and give me a look that told me he liked this challenge because he is a winner and we are going to win. I believed in him completely, and he believed in me so I rode his confidence coat tails, clutching on for dear life. I knew if I went to jail in Chicago for 4 years, my life was so to speak over. Well my friends, after 4 years of fighting my case I couldn't be happier with the results. I will never see a Chicago Jail cell and all of Mr. Komies hard work, connections, respect, strategy, care and understanding won our case and we got the conclusion we were looking for. I was not an easy client at all. I have a record from years ago that is considered 3 strikes in many states. I got accused of something that would be considered pretty much red handed. I ran from the police when they tried to arrest me. The aggravating factors were all there. The state was licking their chops like a pack of wolves. The wanted to lock me up. AND HE SAID NO WAY! Here I am writing this as a free man and can not sing the praises high enough of this man and his talented staff! Mary at the office is an angel and his Assistant Eric Anderson is the utmost professional and force to be reckoned with himself. He surrounds himself with the best and they are the best. In conclusion if you have not already called him - you must! This is the only choice for the top legal representation in the city of Chicago. 312-263-2800. Call now if you want to win! Mr. Komie - this is M.M, me and my family thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You saved our family! We can never thank you enough. I hope the people reading this call you and you can be their savior too!! God Bless you sir you are in my thoughts every day. love, M.M.

Prior to hiring Mr. Komie I did extensive research on finding the top defense lawyers in the city. After consultations with my top choices, I made the decision to be represented by Mr. Komie. Considering the sensitivity of my case, I was in need of a lawyer who had scholarly insight on Illinois... law. Mr. Komie and his team were confident but cautious and made sure to handle everything with care. The amount of time and effort invested in my case was evident when Mr. Komie and his team laid out all the possible options and outcomes for me. With all this said, it was not until the day of my hearing that I really experienced what all the reviews spoke to. Mr. Komie’s courtroom presence is, without doubt, powerful. I never imagined I would find myself in legal trouble and I pray I never do again; I was terrified and vulnerable throughout the entire process. I felt a great deal of comfort and security knowing Mr. Komie and his team were handling of my case. Mr. Komie’s accolades (among other acknowledgements, he is the recipient of the 2013 top 100 national trial lawyers in addition to being a super lawyer recipient) are well deserved. I write this testimony with complete confidence that Mr. Komie is exactly the type of defense lawyer you want on your side when you walk into the courtroom.

A couple years ago I was arrested on state HWY 59 near Schamburg, Illinois. I was traveling alone in a car with out of state plates and was exiting the freeway onto HWY 59. I exited and came to a traffic signal. While waiting for the signal to change, all of a sudden I was surrounded by 3 state tr...oopers, one behind me and two directly in front of me. I was approached by a state police officer and asked to get out of the car, he did not even at this time ask me for license or registration. He then preceeded to tell me that I was speeding and was being detainted in his squad car for speeding. At this time other state police and the NCNTF(north central narcatics task force) were telling me that they were going to search my car and I told them that I was not speeding and I did not feel that they had the right to search my car for speeding. At this time a NCNTF officer told me wether I like it or not they were going to get in my car. At this time I told them NO YOU MAY NOT SEARCH MY CAR!!! They said a K9 unit is on the way and you are still detained for speeding and we will wait for the K9. When the K9 arrived the officer and the K9 walked around my car a few times with no reaction from the K9 at all. Then the officer walking the K9 had a tennis ball attached on the end of his leash and started waiving it at the car and telling the K9 to get it. At this time the K9 lunged at the tennis ball and the officer's all said "did you see that that was an aggressive hit.' At this time the NCNTF officer was saying You have one more chance and before he could even finish that sentence the trunk was opened and I said I did not give you permission to do that. In the trunk they supposively discoverd around 40lbs of cannabis. At this time I was transported to 3 different jails. I was charged with a class X felony, class 1 felony and conspiracy on both of those charges. The class X carries a minimum of 6 years to a maximum of 30 years. Upon leaving the jail I visited with Mr. Komie and knew that I was in good hands. I am not from Illinois and he made me very comfortable and at home while I was here. Mr. Komie and his firm handled my case very professionally and explained everything to me as it was happening. I was always recieving copies of the motions and any other information regarding my case. After nearly 2 years my case was DISSMISSED!!!!! All charges dropped and I even got my money back from the state!!! Now that is what Im talking about and what a great experience this whole process was because of Mr. Stephen Komie! If you are ever any in need of legal services in Illinois YOU WOULD BE VERY WISE TO CALL MR. STEPHEN KOMIE. I had never experienced anything like this before and was very nervous but Mr. Komie and his firm went out of their way to make me feel like part of the family and I was always confident in Mr. Komie's work. My family and I are very grateful to have met Mr. Komie and cannot express how much appreciation we have for this man. Again words do not describe how amazing this man is. Mr. Komie I thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you guys have done for me. Again do not hesitate to call Mr. Komie for your legal services, he will treat you with respect and always make you feel welcome at your time of discomfort. Much Love and Peace,
