Upstanding guy!

Don't believe the person below. This shows clearly a person who lost a case to Gene! This is obvious because the person even says consulted and not hired. Gene tends to your needs and gives solid advise. He'll help out what he can financially as well if you're low budget he's lenient with making mini...mal payments to him. He gets involved, not only with you but your family as well, he makes you and your family a part of his family! All in all Gene is an upstanding and outstanding lawyer and person.

Dirtbag

Do not believe these reviews. This guy is a total scumbag. He will drag your case on and drain you of all your money.

Chicago Business License Denial

I recently applied for a city business license which was denied due to my criminal history. I located Mr. Gene Hook through google and noticed he had great reviews. I then reached out to him, explained my situation and what I was facing. He immediately scheduled a time to meet so that he could rev...iew the documents including the denial letter. At that point he explained the process to me, what I would need to do in order to be deemed "rehabilitated" and exactly what the city of Chicago would be looking for. Gene was very straight forward and honest. At that point I decided to secure him as my attorney at a very reasonable price. I appreciated that he took the "wheel" without me having to hound him. He called the city prosecutor who was over my case, found out what needed to be done, the dates and times, got copies of all documents and immediately emailed them to me. Before my case he reviewed my letters of recommendation I would be providing to the city as well as my personal statement. He then assisted me in revising my statement so that it would be more appealing. I met him again at his office where he coached me through a series of questions before my hearing. Needless to say shortly after my hearing I received my license from the city of Chicago. I would highly recommend Gene and would definitely use him again!

Gene helped John out a lot

I hired Gene for my felon expungements and he did a great job doing so. The previous attorney that tried couldn’t do it because two crimes had the same case number. But Gene was diligent and kept on with the filings and court appearance until the state, county and the courts got it all figured out an...d removed. I’m very grateful to be back at work with a clean record. Thank you Gene

Quality Representation - Just in Time

I would like to recommend this attorney. I had a legal matter, in fact it was up for a hearing the next day. Like most people, I had not realized the passage of time and now it was crunch time.... and I needed a good lawyer FAST. I searched and found several who all talked like they could help me,... but still I was uneasy. Then I contacted Gene. His manner of questioning me about my case caused me to really examine the issues. He agreed to appear on my behalf on short notice. The other side was arrogant, thinking they had all the cards and I had nothing. My attorney stepped up in court, made his appearance, and stopped the other side cold. The case is still going on, but now I am not being railroaded. In fact, the other attorney is not bothering me now at all. He has to talk to my atrtorney. Now I can focus on getting my life back together and let my lawyer handle dealing with the other side. I would highly recommend Gene Hook if you have a case pending and feel you need someone you can count on to be on your side.
