Gene Edward Hook

Gene put up with my impatience and the total lack of speed from Kane County courthouse. Got the job done for me and an old misdemeanor case is now sealed and away from background checks etc. I had hired a legal professional before Gene but they were totally inept. Luckily found Gene on craigslist, hi...red him right away and glad I did. Thanks again Gene I will send anyone with legal issues to you!!

Gene Hook has done above and beyond the required norm for his clients. He is more than just a lawyer, he is an attorney warrior. Gene Hook handled my case when I sued the state of Illinois for unpaid grant compensation, and he literally drove down to Springfield, IL, after the bureaucratic comptrol...ler office would not respond to our calls, and or correspondence. Needless to say, Attorney Gene Hook got me my grant compensation from the state of Illinois. Gene Hook is truly a fantastic Attorney. . Gene Hook, ROCKS!!!!

I grew up in a courtroom, with my mom and dad fighting each other. I listened to everyone's cases and watched the dirty nasty things that people did to each other in court. I picked up on a whole lot. Went through a hellacious and very expensive heart twisting custody battle myself. it was scary. I w...on custody of my first born child in 2009. Anyways, enough about me. I got a hold of this guy because I was in a bad situation with my bitter ex, sons mother. It was such a hairy situation, and I was so paranoid. His advice on my many "what if's" answered all of my fears. He gave me the confidence I needed to do some of the preliminary things that I needed to do on my own, before I retained an attorney. I never felt alone in this whole process, because this guy cared enough to call me at random to check my progress, and advise me and calm me down along the way. Excuse me for cussing, but you can sense the "give a damn" in this man. He's a very busy guy. But if you're the good guy/gal, and you're doing everything you're supposed to do, this guy will help you. He made my problems into his problems. No lie. I can't even imagine the gravity... The magnitude of what he's going to do once I retain him (and I will be in six days). He's worth it. I intend on using him for my current impending divorce, and certain other things from my past that prevented me from becoming a police officer. He's a wealth of knowlege, and like I said, an ace of many trades. A regular one stop shop. Dont abuse his advice though. I didn't, and it's because there's a point where attorneys help you beyond their threshold of courtesy, and they rightfully start thinking to themselves, hey, wait a second! When is this guy or gal going to hire me? Pay the man. And he will do ya right. For everyone else like me, who is NOT an attorney, and wants to blame his/her attorney, for things that go wrong in court, I have this to say. It depends on the judge, it depends on the mood that day, and yes, personal problems come into play with EVERYONE present in the courtroom. even the judge. it depends on your situation. Don't stab your shield from the inside with your own sword though. That's how arrows get through. All that being said, I believe in this guy. I don't think this man got into the business for the money. I think he's one of many people that had an injustice happen to him and he got into the arena to help people out. That's just how he comes off. See for yourself. If your in trouble, call him. My name is Tim, I'm a real person, I'm on Facebook, and you can look me up and ask me if I meant what I said through any medium you wish. I am not some paid actor. I'm sorry. It's that I'm just so damn impressed. Just so you all of you know, so far I'm on top of my situation now. It's smooth sailing from here on out. he WILL be hired.

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!
