After impulsively retaining a terrible criminal attorney to represent me in a $75,000 embezzlement case, I hired Dan and his partner Jeff through a recommendation to take over my case - they were both incredibly knowledgeable, non-judgemental and experienced dealing with white collar/financial crimes. Once Dan and Jeff stepped in, they were able to negotiate a much lower restitution, settle the pending civil suit, and proactively contact law enforcement to stop any charges from being filed against me. Before working with Dan, I was convinced that a felony charge was inevitable and I now have my life back. Dan was able to accomplish more for me in two weeks, then my prior attorney was able to do in 3 months. Would highly recommend Dan to anyone looking for a criminal attorney.
I hired Dan Hronek in 2009 for help with my DUI case. After being told by one lawyer I was more than likely getting a conviction Mr. Hronek helped me avoid probation and a conviction. Dan also made himself available to help with questions along the way, a real help.
I highly recommend Mr. Hronek not only because of what he was able to do for me in my case, but also for how he did it. A real professional who cares about what he is doing.
Mr. Hronek has spent most of his life in the Chicago area and has been a licensed attorney in Illinois since 2000. Mr. Hronek is licensed to practice before all Illinois state courts and federal district court for the Northern District of Illinois. Additionally, Mr. Hronek is a licensed member of the Federal Trial Bar. Mr. Hronek's practice concentrates in the areas of real estate law, litigation, and business law.
Mr. Hronek received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Texas Tech University in Lubbock, TX in 1997. Thereafter he returned to Chicago and graduated from Chicago-Kent College of Law in 2000. Mr. Hronek then began his legal career as an Assistant State's Attorney in Cook County. While working for the Cook County State's Attorney's Office, Mr. Hronek tried hundreds of felony and misdemeanor cases in the areas of traffic (including DUI's, suspended licenses, and reckless driving), narcotics, sex crimes, and other violent crimes.
In 2005, Mr. Hronek switched gears and began practicing in civil litigation where he represented physicians, hospitals, healthcare providers, individuals and insurers in defending against personal injury and professional liability litigation. Since that time, Mr. Hronek has represented individuals and businesses in real estate transactions (commercial and residential), personal injury litigation and business law/litigation. His experience includes jury and bench trials to verdict, participating in alternative dispute resolution (ADR) including arbitrations and mediations, as well as the representation of individuals before governmental administrative agencies.
Mr. Hronek's accomplishments in the public and private sectors give him the knowledge, experience, motivation, and ingenuity to fight tirelessly for outstanding results on behalf of his clients.

Excellent attorney who got my case thrown out after my previous lawyer wanted me to plead guilty
In 2009 I was charged with a drug case and had another lawyer to represent me. After the first court date he wanted me to plead guilty to probation, but I didn't want the conviction because I'm still a student in college. I then hired Mr. Hronek to replace my previous lawyer, and he went in and filed a motion to dismiss and won it. My case was thrown out and I didn't have to get a conviction on my record or take probation. Mr. Hronek really fought for my case and I'm sure that if I hadn't called him I would probably still be on probation today.
