Thomas Joseph Hyland

The Chicago Police arrested me for possession of a firearm and I was charged with AGG UUW which is a non-probationable felony. Per the statute, the minimum sentence is 1 year in prison if convicted. Prior to this arrest I had no criminal background. As such,, this case had my future, reputation and freedom on the line and so I needed a lawyer who knew how to fight Luckily, my friend referred me to Attorney Hyland and he scheduled a consultation for me to come to his office the next day. During the consultation I admitted that I had been caught red handed and the states case was strong. Mr. Hyland advised that he would still look for any possible way to beat the case but if there was no way to win at trial or by motion, then the strategy would shift to do everything in his power to avoid a prison sentence and prevent me from becoming a felon. Throughout the case, it was obvious that Mr. Hyland knew the law inside and out. He reviewed all the evidence with me, explained every step of the process, discussed the pros and cons of every decision and made himself available whenever I had a question. Long story short, we couldnt beat the case but Mr. Hyland was a man of his word and did exactly what he said on day 1. Mr. Hyland was able to persuade the Prosecutor to amend the felony gun charge to a misdemeanor and I received 2 years probation. Thanks to Mr Hyland, I am not convicted felon and I didn't go to prison. I will never use any other Attorney. And if anyone I know catches a case, I will be referring Mr. Hyland because the man does what he says and gets the job done.

Facing major convictions, I received the blessing and privilege to have Attorney Tom Hyland as my council. Under his wing, very informative, hard- working, trust worthy and and someone you can count on. Thanks to Tom, I can move on with my life. Highly recommended!
