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.

Highly Recommended!

Herschel provided excellent lawyering services when I needed him for a legal matter. He was always available to talk about any concerns I was having and did a great job in the court room. He got my case over with quickly and was able to have it dismissed! Highly recommend using him if you're looking ...for a lawyer in the Chicago area!!

GREAT CRIMINAL ATTORNEY - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

100% RECOMMENDED. Mr. Rush took care of every thing, pleasure to work with, very knowledgeable about the Chicago criminal court system. Everything went better than expected.

Great Attorney!

Mr. Rush is an excellent attorney. I should know, as I have experienced my fair share in the past and most were awful (no shows, etc.). However, Mr. Rush is not like other attorneys. Not only did he answer all of my phone calls (some even past 11pm at night) but he came to every court date prepared. ...His kind and respectful nature made me stay calm (the best I could) through all of my court dates. He is honest, professional and gets results. He is truly a lifesaver/miracle worker. In the end, he was able to get my case reduced to a misdemeanor and saved me from losing my job. He also did something very similar for my friend who is the person that recommended him to me- thus, this seems to be his track record. If you want a lawyer that is going to fight for you then you should hire Mr. Rush.
