Michael O'Meara is the most professional attorney I've ever worked with. It is very difficult to admit, but this was my third DUI, and you can image the stress, the shame, the uncertainty I felt after it happened. Although my last one happened sixteen years ago, a third one, if convicted, can be a ve...ry serious offense that can take away your family, your freedom, your livelihood, and it can lead to a felony which can eventually lead to inability to find employment after all is done. So you can imagine that finding the right attorney becomes a challenge. There are a lot of attorneys that claim they specialize in DUI defense and many of those are what we call "A Jack of All Trades but a Master of None." They'll take your money and you'll end up in jail. Those are the attorneys that you definitely want to avoid. Michael O'Meara was referred to me by a friend that hired Michael to defend his second DUI, and the reason I decided to go with Michael is because not only did he win his case, he got his license back. When I first called Michael he explained everything to me, the circumstances of a third DUI, and all the possible outcomes and worst case scenarios of what can potentially happen if you don't hire the right attorney. During the entire conversation, Michael was professional, kind and patient, and took his time to answer all of my questions. Michael has been a DUI attorney for over two decades, and in the early stages of his career he was the state of Illinois DUI prosecutor so he's been on both sides of the law. I decided right away that he was the attorney for my situation and that DUI law is his specialty. Throughout the entire case from finish to end he was nothing less than professional. He exceeded my expectations. He looked at my evidence, he prepared a defense and we took it to trial. Not only did he win the case for me, meaning it was dismissed, he also got my license back. After seeing him in action in the courtroom during my trial I gave him the nickname, Michael "Bruce Lee" O'Meara or even MOJO ;) I highly recommend him as a DUI attorney, and especially to someone who has more than one DUI offense on their record. Michael, thank you so much for what you've done for me. This entire experience was scary, but it sure was an awakening and you've made it possible for me to move on with my life without any repercussions, and learn from this horrific incident. The best defense in a DUI is not to get in a car while intoxicated. However, if you've already made a bad decision and you're looking for an attorney that will give you the best possible outcome, call Michael "Bruce Lee" O'Meara right now!

To those who have been charged with a DUI, I used Michael O’Meara’s services for my third DUI. When I contacted Michael for counsel and he was very direct and clear on all of the possibilities and consequences and how different scenarios could possibly play out up front. He did not lead me on w...ith wishful thinking or give unrealistic outcomes. Michael navigated through the courts and used every possible legal angle so that I could avoid spending any time in jail. I was facing not only prison time but also a minimum of 90 days in jail if found guilty since this was my third DUI and my blood alcohol level was more than double the legal limit. Due to Michael, I did not spend any time in jail. Not only did Michael show up to every court date fully prepared, he also was available anytime I needed to discuss my case. I had a very real problem with alcohol and Michael told me that if I ever needed to talk at all, to contact him so as to avoid me drinking and driving again and making my situation worse than it already was. There were several instances when I did contact Michael at inopportune times, and he made time for what I needed. This type of service and his concern for me is not something that is commonly found in an attorney. I must also state that if someone has more than one DUI offense, or an addiction problem you need rid yourself of the insanity. I recommend checking yourself into an inpatient program to really get the help you need. I did this for myself through Cornerstone of Recovery in TN and it was one of the best things that I could of done for myself. I highly recommend this facility to anyone who is need of any kind of help. Not only did this help my life, it also greatly assisted Michael in keeping me out of jail. My case was completed over 6 months ago and Michael has followed up with me just to check and see how I am doing. I would HIGHLY recommend the services of Attorney Michael O’Meara to anyone who is in need of legal council. JD

I have to say that Michael is one awesome lawyer. In regards to my case he stayed by my side for over two years to get the best resolution for me. He listened to me even when I called him in panic, he always gave me the options and allowed for me to make certain decisions before we stood in front of... the judge. Michael was honest with me from the beginning. He informed me that this was going to be a long process and for me not to give up because he was not going to give up on me. This was the reason that I decided to go with him as my lawyer. I was charged with a DUI more than twice the legal limit and I was facing serious jail time due to me having prior Dui arrest in the past. He was able help keep me from doing any jail time. Michael is a busy person and if I called and he did not respond he made sure to contact me back within the same day or within the next day or so. I am glad that I had Michael Omeara as my lawyer. Thanks Mike for all your help. BB

As a first time DUI offender I had zero clue what to do. The evidence against me was very strong. Based on Internet research I conducted before seeking an attorney I concluded that I was facing 1 year in jail, fines of $2,500, loss of my license for a full year, along with... other various penalties and fines. I turned to friends who "knew a guy who knew a guy" to find representation. I met with 2 different lawyers, showed them both my charges, and told them my story. Neither one of those lawyers had any faith in my case. They basically told me "You screwed up and here is how we're going to try to deal with it, BTW, you're screwed." At that point a close friend reached out to me telling me about Mike O'Meara and how good of job Mike has done representing him varying from different drug and alcohol offenses. I didn't know any better and I didn't have anything to lose. So my friend gave me Mike's number and I gave him a call figuring I would hear the same thing I was already told twice before. I couldn't possibly have been more wrong about that. I told Mike my story and all the various facts that lead to my arrest. After he heard the same story I told to the other two lawyers, Mike seemed to be very ambitious about my case and started to explain to me how we can fight it. It was only a couple days later that I was in the court house with him filing papers and requests to contest my arrest. While all this was happening he fully explained to me every single step of the process so I could fully understand everything that was happening, he damn near made me feel like I was a lawyer in training. Even after he explained A-Z to me he still asked "do you have any questions? Contact me anytime you want, I welcome questions." He has always kept true to his word. Believe me when I say that I have pushed the limits with calling him and asking him things he had previously explained to me, he had no problem repeating himself to me at any time of any day. With being charged with a DUI, there are many different things you have to do ON YOUR OWN outside of the courtroom. As a first time offender, I wasn't familiar or sure about any of the tasks that I had to complete on my own. Luckily, Mike was able to help and coach me every step of the way outside of the courtroom b/c he is that good of a man and genuinely cares. I swear to God he acted like my daddy trying to teach me to walk. I'll never forget the court date of my sentencing, with how bad the evidence was against me, I was sure I was going to jail and paying astronomical fines that I couldn't afford even if I sold my soul to the Devil. When I was face to face with the judge, not only did Mike keep me out of jail but he saved me from a conviction (I was not convicted for my DUI), and negotiated my fines to be the bare minimum. As I'm typing this, I no longer require a lawyer to pursue and complete the court mandated agreements of my case. I have paid Mike in full and he has no further obligation to me. Having said that, I've been having problems with trying to fulfill my minimum court mandated requirements. I contacted Mike about my concerns and problems with going through this process and he is still willing to fight for me and help me out even though I no longer have any financial obligation to him. He is a very loyal and dedicated man. If any member of my family or friends were caught under the same circumstances that I was, I would tell them to hire Mike O'Meara. Remember the saying "Knowledge is POWER!!!" When you hire Mike O'Meara, he has that knowledge and he brings that POWER into that courtroom. I hope to God that I never have to go through his again. If I do then Mike is the first person I would contact. He is also the first person I would recommend to any family member or friend.

I was charged with a second DUI offense within 5 years and was facing a 3 year loss of my driving privileges per the Stautory Suspension. I would have lost my ability to make a living and my condo, everything. The second offense was the result of having been jumped after a few beers. No one, includ...ing the police, want to hear about how the symptoms of a concussion exactly mirror those of inebriation. You smell like booze and you are pretty much done. After researching and speaking with numerous attorneys, I contacted Mike for assistance. As we were speaking I thought “this is my guy”. After a subsequent call, I retained O'Meara Law LLC. It proved to be the best decision that I made during the whole devastating experience. You meet a lot of people that make promises and don’t deliver, O’Meara delivers. He is intuitive, decisive and, being a former prosecutor, knows the courts like the back of his hand. He is thorough and responsive. Mike was able to negotiate a deal that allowed me to retain my license, thus saving my career and livelihood. Mike is the consummate professional who never gave any false expectations regarding the dire situation that I was facing. He always told me the potential downside to all possible scenarios. He got me the result that I desperately needed. I will be indebted to him for a very long time. Watching Mike work in a court of law is as close to a masterpiece as I have ever seen. He knows when to fight and when to concede, what is possible and what isn’t. You cannot go wrong with O’Meara Law LLC and Mike O’Meara.
