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.

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.

Horrible

I hired Herschel Rush as my attorney and I was very disappointed in his services. He would say one thing a do another. He was not straightforward (very indirect almost like lying) and I never knew what was going on till after the fact! Didn't get any help with court orders or seen any paperwork! Its ...crazy how poor his services are, he barely showed up for court. Seems very nice but actually just PHONEY! Felt like it was basically just a waste of money. Horrible experience and would not recommend!
