Unparalleled service
Herschel Rush showed exemplary knowledge of the law. This was a professional experience from start to finish, while not lacking “duty of care”, very personable and sincere. He comes highly recommended from a personal aspect being that the case was intricate. Attention to detail as well as staying abreast of the case at all times manifested the most positive response from the court, “Not Guilty”. If you are seeking an ambitious and professional attorney, Herschel Rush is exactly the attorney you should have fighting on your behalf. Thank you Herschel!

It takes a Village
As a hardworking Mom of a teenage Male especially in the City of Chicago,  the last call you want to hear is anything connected to your child and the Police. This unexpected incident required a Village and Attorney Herschel Rush became a primary force in our Village. Attorney Rush was thorough in noting the steps within the court process, kept his lines of communication open, never sold us a fairytale, yet reassured each party connected that we would get through this unfortunate situation.   Naturally, we were all full of some form of anxiety that was later placed at an unexpected calm upon working with our Attorney. During a process such as this it is normal to be concerned with your employment being affected due to numerous court appearances. Our Attorney handled those appearances for us whether communicating with the court or being there as our representation. Operating in the best interest of his client, he sought out every bit of evidence that spoke true to my child (no history of trouble, constant academic improvement letters from the school, extracurricular involvement, mentors, etc). As previously stated, acquiring that calm in addition to our Faith, we were confident in the decision fought for us by Attorney Rush. Attorney Herschel Rush is a man of integrity, respect, honesty, drive, determination, understanding and so much more. Truly deserving of all 5 stars.

Superb Professional
I hired Herschel Rush as my attorney for my own personal case. He was professional, courteous, and available 24/7 throughout the entire process. My court case is over, but I will need to return to court once more to completely close all details of my case. Herschel made it clear he will represent me and assist with any concern I may have until the final day. I have 100% confidence in his work ethic and knowledge he has provided throughout this process. Hire Herschel Rush, you will not be disappointed.

Integrity and Sincerity at it's best!!!
I was fortunate enough to meet this Gentleman in my life. He is truly God sent. He was really professional and empathetic in my case. He assured me, he will get me out of this lust like that!!! I could see the confidence in his face and I was greatly relieved. He is a man of Sincerity and Integrity. He is there for you, once he takes up your case. This column is too limited to praise about his commitment and hard work. Once again, Thanks a lot my friend. Let Almighty bless him and his family in abundance. I also have to mention about his colleague David who also played crucial role, fighting for me. Their expertise in this field is second to none. Once again I we you guys for being like one among family, fighting from start to the finish. Thank You

Outstanding skills honest attorney
Herschel took my case seriously, he was upfront and honest about his fees. He will work with you and you can reach him personally if you have questions, or concerns before your trial. He told me not to worry we had a strong case and he will be able to get the case dismissed without prejudice, which he absolutely did. He's a man of his word which is a hard attribute to find nowadays especially in dealing with attorneys. He's an attorney that's actually defends you, your name, and integrity. Once leaving court I was pleased and satisfied 200% and you will be too obtain Mr. Herschel Rush to represent you if you ever need a great attorney in a serious court case against you.

Best Lawyer ever!! Powerful
Mr.Rush made sure that he negotiated every case that I had, for results that were in my best interest! I am very satisfied and recommend him highly to anyone facing serious crimes charges. My charges had a prison sentence that the state was demanding but Mr.Rush was able to argue valid points and win!

Straightforward yet Compassionate
In the summer of 2017, my 19 year old son was arrested for possessing a loaded firearm. I was inconsolable. Rush showed empathy but was straightforward with possible outcomes. With Chicago tightening up on gun laws, my son was facing a minimum of 1 year behind bars. Rush provided us with next steps: obtain character reference letters and grades from school. Prior to that, I had no knowledge on what to do. Rush was able to get my son's charge from a class 4 felony to a misdemeanor. I believe his experience, relationship with state's attorney's office, and those character reference letters/grades all played a part of the judge allowing the misdemeanor.

Excellent attorney!!! I will only use Hershel as my attorney from here out! Did a great job!
I met Hershel Rush at the Markham Il courthouse. I was in a desperate situation when I approached him looking for an attorney. After talking with him he was professional, reassuring, confident, and a pleasure. I knew immediately after hiring him I had made the right decision. Even after a mistake (100% my fault) he rectified the situation like a complete gentlemen he is. I would recommend and use Mr. Rush every single time. He did a great job and found a client for life! Thanks again

Professional, Friendly, Helpful, and Dependable
I recommend Mr. Rush to my daughter, as her defense attorney, and she accepted. Without regret, I'm happy to say that I'm glad I did. Mr. Rush made us feel like family, which I think is very important because it gave hope as we trusted his expertise. We were not at all disappointed, because Mr. Rush proved to be exactly what we wanted and expected in an attorney. I would proudly recommend him to my family and friends.

Great work on my DUI
Attorney Rush did an awesome job with saving my license and getting me out of a DUI without having to take a conviction on my record. I have to take some classes but it's better than jail time. Would definitely refer him as a resource.
