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.

Herschel J. Rush will make your future bright!

They say picture is worth a thousand words, and it is if I could only show it here, with smile on my face after Mr. Rush won my case. I hired Mr Rush back in 2013 after I was terminated from my job and accused of stealing. First day in his office I said " Mr. Rush, I'm wrongfully accused and I'll do... what ever it takes to prove that, which meant I was not willing to take a deal with the state. Mr Rush was fully supportive of my decision and did everything he could to prove my innocence and help me move on my life with no felony. Mr. Rush was not only my attorney, but also a friend. I cannot recall a single phone call that I made to him that went unanswered. 3 years is a long time to be going to courts, but Mr Rush always showed up and handled the matter the way it should. He was always positive and prepared. On May 4th 2016, after almost 2 years of our trial getting rescheduled for many different reasons that we had no control over, we got our chance to get in front of judge. Mr Rush was very preofessional and by my side he kept me cool and calm. When Mr Rush got his chance to cross-exemine the witness I knew I was in good hands and it was looking good for us. Not even an hour into the trial the judge ruled Not Guilty and both Mr Rush and I jad the biggest success smile on our faces!!! No words can describe how greatfull I am to Mr Rush and for the things he has done for me. I will never forget this and will always be greatfull to him and recommend him to anyone that needs an attorney! THANK YOU Mr. Rush!!!!!!!

Integrity to the highest level!

I hired Herschel to help me with my drivers license. As difficult as my case was, Herschel promised that he would get it back no matter what. After 5 appearances and 3 different court houses in cook county I got my license back. Because of his persistence and honesty, I will be recommending him to ev...ery one who needs a REAL attorney not the average joe who sits outside the court house passing his card around. Thank you again!

Herschel's Amazing

Herschel was recommended through word of mouth after inquiring about my husband's case. Herschel provided his services at a reasonable cost. My husband may have been facing a yr. plus of penitentiary & his case was being handled in the Skokie branch which per my husband has 95% convictions. Against ...all odds, Herschel was able to get my husband out (of jail) on the 2nd. court date (w/ in 2mnths). He was released with intense drug treatment (AA meetings) & 18 mnths. probation. On the first court date Herschel succeeded in having my husband removed from the general population to a (much needed) rehabilitation center/ West Care; still within Cook County jail but a treatment center for inmates struggling with addictions. Thanks to his determination he was able to help reunite a family&gave us hope again. Herschel is a dedicated professional. He always returned phone calls despite it being night or weekends. Herschel even came out to my home for our initial meeting due to my hectic schedule. Therefore, he was very accessible, and he gave 110%. I would not hesitate to recommend Herschel to those in need of a criminal lawyer.
