Michael O’meara saved me from a world of trouble. Before I first contacted him, I had no idea what to expect from my tickets, how serious the offense really was, or what could even be done to help my case. I was lucky enough to stumble upon him from a simple Google search and thought I would at least... reach out to him after seeing outstanding reviews from hundreds of people and on multiple websites. The moment I called Michael, he clearly explained to me the circumstances I was involved in, how serious the offense was, and what needed to be done in order for me to take the next steps. I was pulled over on the highway for going 26-34 mph over the speed limit. The officer not only gave me a ticket for that, but added on 3 additional tickets (using left lane, not using turning signal, and following too closely to the car in front of me). Since 2014, the State of Illinois has unfortunately changed speeding of 25+ miles over the speed limit to be considered a CRIMINAL OFFENSE. I am a graduate student in a doctorate program who was coming home after a long week of hard work and studying with a 1 hour+ commute each way to and from school. Once Michael explained to me the severity of the speeding ticket, firstly, the conviction would make me a CRIMINAL and I would also lose my license for an indefinite amount of time, with the chance of serving jail time in addition to not being able to drive to continue my rigorous graduate program. This could have easily ruined my career and ability to participate in clinical rotations where criminal background checks are required. Throughout the entire process, Michael was very insightful, put things into laymen terms so that everything was easy to understand, and honestly gave me the reassurance I needed in a time of such distress. Michael worked hard to do everything in his power to look out for my best interests. Michael is clearly an experienced attorney, is honest and upfront about everything (not something you often feel when dealing with lawyers), and is clear and concise. If you are honest with him, follow his advice and direction, I feel confident that anyone can have the same great experience I did. Mike was able to not only get my other 3 tickets nullified by the judge, but was also able to reduce my aggravated speeding ticket (which would be a criminal offense) down to a petty offense (NOT a criminal offense, received my license back, and requirement to not receive another speeding ticket for 12 months). You can feel at ease after paying the flat rate fee of $1500 as Michael will continue to work hard for you if additional court dates or behind the scenes work are needed without ANY other additional charging. With other lawyers, you may end up paying MUCH more than what you initially expected. In conclusion, I HIGHLY recommend Michael O’meara as an attorney, a friend, and a person you can trust. -DT

On a late Chicago summer evening, I was charged with illegal lane usage, driving below the minimum speed limit, and driving under the influence. I was facing serious jail time if convicted since I had 2 previous DUI arrests. Prior to calling Mr. O’Meara I did my research as any other person in m...y situation should do. After extensive hours of research not only for an attorney but what I should do to prepare myself for the months to come; I came across Michael O’Meara who has been practicing law since 1994. I read about his background and noticed that he was a former prosecutor which was a huge plus. I hired Mr. O’Meara and he proceeded to tell me my options. He was honest and to the point. Everything that Mr. O’Meara stated was going to happen…happened. On the day of my trial Mr. O’Meara put on a poetic show. His years of experience and knowledge were quickly observed by the entire courtroom. His objections, cross examination of the trooper, and rebuttals were flawless. Mr. O’Meara won that day, and that is the day I started living again… I highly recommend Michael O’Meara. He is professional, experienced, doesn’t treat you like a lesser person, and personally replies to messages. I must add and remind everyone that as a client you have to do your part as well. Everything helps - from the way you dress, the way your demeanor is in court, being punctual to all appointments, and ensuring you do your part and get everything in order prior to a trial or hearing helps. Thanks again Michael… Regards, -RM

I got a domestic battery charge and was out on conditional discharge (facing 2 years). I got arrested for DUI. Didn't take the breathalyzer. Mike took my case and was clear and upfront. Never "sold" me on anything and refused to take any money from me for services not needed. We had a game plan and ...he executed it flawlessly. He was a beast in the courtroom. We even had our cases called first all the time. It was an absolute nightmare of a time in my life and he was an angel with wings for me. I was so scared to go to jail for violating my discharge. MIKE BEAT THE CASE, AND ALSO ENSURED MY DISCHARGE WAS NEVER VIOLATED. I never did a day in custody. He was not cheap but worth every dime. Mike will be my attorney for life. I will always call him first

I was arrested on a DUI, aggravated speeding, and illegal lane usage at 1AM in the morning on a Sunday. After extensive research and numerous calls with Lawyers I chose Mr. O'Meara as my lawyer. He was one of the few lawyers to respond to my calls on a Sunday. I appreciated Mr. O'Meara's professio...nalism and honesty. He was very clear on my options and possible outcomes. If you are looking for a lawyer to promise you that you will be exonerated of all charges, Mr. O'Meara is not the attorney you are looking for. He understands the law enough to provide you with the options that will result in the best outcome whether or not this is what you want to hear. I faced a possible 3rd DUI (1 out-of-state 18 years ago and another in-state 20 years ago). He did not sugarcoat the possible outcomes and clearly outlined my options in defending my case. He also understands the process enough that I was able to drive during the entire duration of the case. In the end, Mr. O'Meara was able to get the DUI dismissed and supervision for the traffic violations. It was a very unpleasant experience, however I believe I had the right lawyer providing me with the best information possible. I would definitely recommend Mr. O'Meara to anyone in need of a DUI lawyer.
