James F DiQuattro

Jim is extremely hard-working, informative, knowledgeable, kind, and compassionate. I was wrongfully accused of 8 Class X felonies by a vengeful ex-girlfriend. Jim got my electronic monitoring modified so I was able to continue going to school, look for work, attend the birth of my twin girls, and ev...en stay at the hospital for my wife's entire stay. He got me off with all charges dropped! I would recommend Jim for all your defense needs. He's definitely the man for the job!

Starting out with a criminal case, we knew what the end results could be and had to find the absolute best. With some research and a phone call, we knew this was whom we'd needed. We found Raymond Wigell and his team through Avvo. They truly gave the best results we could have ever imagined. First go...ing into the courtroom with Jim DiQuattro, part of Wigells team, he impressed the judge with his promptness, his efficientness, and his general knowledge on how the courtroom work. They say first impressions are what matters, and because the judge was impressed her response to Jim was "I wish all of the lawyers that came in here, were prepared as you" The entire team showed the same professionalism. We went in expecting the worst. With a class 4 Felony and a class 3 Felony the States first offer was 3 years IDOC. Being convicted in my teens with a class X Felony I believed that at the best I would still be doing at least 6 months of prison time and at worst one year. I knew the state was giving me the worst of 3 years and with the lawyers, they could get as little as a year. Because I was expecting prison time I asked the Wigell team to take their time and stretch out the time between court dates so I could start saving money for my family in my absence if I were to go to prison. After 13 months of court date after court date we had arrived at the end and that consisted with a conference with the judge otherwise known as a 402. Everything was in place and I was ready to go to prison when Jim came out and said it was good news but he wanted to talk it over with the team 15 minutes passed and I still didn't know what to expect. When the he came back Raymond and the rest of the team joined us. It was then they told me that that the judge made an offer of Probation... just probation. I couldn't believe it I had gone from 3 years of prison to probation no prison time. My family and I could be happier with the results. Jim DiQuattro and Raymond Wigell helped keep a family together and kept me out of prison.

I had a serious matter in Will County and I immediately called Mr. DiQuattro. He got back to me right away and told me he would handle it, which was a huge relief because I couldn't imagine going through it alone. He kept in touch with me in the days leading up to court about my matter, and outlined ...general strategies that he would use to help me fight my case. He made me feel like a partner in my defense, rather than someone he was working on, just another file in his cabinet. Mr. DiQuattro always kept me informed throughout the long course of my case. On my last court date on the matter, he was able to negotiate an excellent deal with the State right before heading to trial. He told the State to wait while he explained the ramifications of the deal in detail to me so that I knew what I was accepting, and he always made it clear that it was my choice and he would do what I wanted. Thanks to Mr. DIQuattro's knowledge and expertise and his skill in dealing with tough prosecutors, I was able to go home that night and have dinner with my family, and soon I'll be able to put this whole thing behind me. I'm so glad I retained his services. I was very relieved as soon as I hired him. Thank you for your hard work and your help in getting me through that very stressful time, Mr. DiQuattro!
