Criminal Defense 50%

Being victorious at any one of these proceedings often results in damaging testimony or documentation being excluded from evidence and forcing judges to throw cases out of court. Call Attorney Shindler today to review your case now.

50%
DUI and DWI 15%

A DUI conviction can have serious effects on your life. Walk into any DUI court room in the State of Illinois and discover that at least half charged are Hispanic. Language barriers and police bias often contribute to improper charges.

Anyone who entered the U.S. without a visa, whose I-94 and/or visa expired, or was arrested for any type of charge should not apply for any benefit without first consulting a lawyer. Call him today.

Whether you are being treated for an illness, receiving care for an injury in the emergency room, or a patient in a surgical procedure, you deserve to expect the best possible care.

Speeding and Traffic Ticket 5%

The arresting officer must have a valid reason to stop your car to investigate and must also advise you of options and penalties concerning tickets. Understand your rights and protect yourself!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
