The Best Lawyer

I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Herschel J. Rush, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the service and representation I received. From start to finish, Mr. Rush was professional, responsive, and truly dedicated to my case. He took the time to explain everything clearly, made sure I under...stood my rights, and always kept me informed every step of the way. What stood out the most was his honesty and how hard he fought on my behalf. I never felt like just another client — he treated my case with care and urgency. If you’re looking for a lawyer who is not only experienced but also genuinely has your best interest at heart, I highly recommend Herschel J. Rush. He truly made a difference for me.

Ms

I wouldn’t recommend this lawyer , he don’t have client best interest , if you ask me he works against client, he don’t put energy into beating case, he more concerned with pleasing prosecutors

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 abr...east 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!

The best in the Midwest

Mr. Rush kept his promise of keeping me informed, being honest, making this process as painless as possible and bringing my fiancé home as soon as possible. He fought hard and brought us to victory. I’m more than thankful for his help in Bringing my family back together in a few short months.
