The Best Attorney

I had a great experience with Atty Nenye Uche he was very upfront about his cost and I liked how he broke the payments up for me. I had a resisting arrest case as well as a battery case. After a few court dates in Bridgeview he got both cases dropped. In the meantime i had caught a DUI case and I aut...omatically went to Atty Nenye Uche and asked if he would handle that case as well for me. His price once again was below alot of other attorneys and he accepted to take my case again. He told me on both of my cases not to worry he would handle them and to my expectations he got all my cases dropped. My Dui case I had gotten 6 tickets right away and I was charged with the most easiest one of not notifying the Secretary of State of address change. I highly recommend this attorney to everyone who needs a good lawyer. I've even recommended him to people in court with me and they hired him as well and their outcome went well. If I ever need a lawyer again I will be calling Atty. Nenye Uche!!!!!!! He is the BEST!!!!!

DUI ---> Reckless driving!

I'm so happy to finally be writing this review instead of reading them! Nenye got my DUI charge reduced to reckless driving yesterday! From the very first phone call until my final court date, he had been very empathetic - always assuring me that everything would turn out fine, and it did! I made ...the biggest mistake of my life and got behind the wheel after a night of drinking. I drove into a ditch, confessed to the police, and blew double to legal limit at the site of the arrest. Needless to say, they had everything they needed and more to give me a conviction. Despite the heavy evidence, Nenye got my charge reduced to reckless driving! Being a nursing student, a lot was on the line, as I couldn't have this conviction on my record for clinicals and board exams. Trust him and trust the process. Thanks to him, I feel like I can finally breathe again. Nenye, you're quite literally a life saver! Thank you thank you thank you!!

Getting the job done

Attorney Uche worked out a deal with the Prosecutors that got our family member case dismissed. It was our first time through the law/justice system and we felt he really prepared us by walking us through each court date and answering any questions we had. Even when he couldn’t be there himself he se...nt someone in his place that knew the case well and would be able to represent us given the anxieties we faced as a family.

My DUI case got dismissed thanks to the strategic thinking of my attorney Nenye Uche!

Today my DUI case got dismissed with all other tickets and charges dismissed thanks to the strategic thinking of my attorney Nenye Uche! I don't have to worry about having a criminal record for a misdemeanor. I don't have to pay the court any fees for anything. All the weight that has been sittin...g on my shoulders for so long, has been lifted, and I'm free! It takes time to get things to fall your way, at times you're going to feel frustrated, you're going to wonder whether or not he actually knows what he's doing, you're going to want to quit and just give in to the criminal justice system. If you stay committed to the strategy that he tells you about, you'll be so much better off in the long run. If you have found yourself in the unfortunate position of having to fight a DUI charge, choose the right attorney, Nenye Uche!

Best Attorney!

My finance was charged with his 5th DUI. We didn't know what to do or how we were going to fight this. I began searching for the best DUI attorney in the Chicagoland, and I found Nenye Uche. After reading the reviews, I consulting with my finance and we both agreed to meet with Nenye. Nenye assur...ed us that he could beat the DUI and my finance would not go to jail for it. He made us feel very comfortable with his abilities to defend my fiance with his case. After a long fight due to the evidence against my fiance and a very stressful trial, Nenye Uche, did exactual what he promised, he beat the DUI charge! My finance was facing 4-6 years and Nenye won! We couldn't believe it! Nenye Uche was GOD sent to us and we cannot thank him enough for saving us the heartache and possible 4-6 years of me without my finance and our children without their dad. Nenye Uche thank you for all that you have done! You are truly the best!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I've first met Nenye Uche when he was the First Chair of a courtroom as a Cook County Prosecutor and I was a defense attorney. He stood out amongst a sea of prosecutors. Once he became a Criminal Defense Attorney, we've worked together on several criminal matters, including a lengthy jury trial. Simply put, he is a "legal beast." Hard-working, diligent, creative, thinks quick on his feet - he is a very powerful force to be reckoned with before and during trial. He has an outstanding legal mind that combined with his unique presentation and argument skills, leaves jurors captivated. He gives his all to his clients and his courtroom presence is one of the best I've ever seen. Truly top-notch. I endorse this lawyer."
