She helped me drop a felony dropped to a misdemeanor. Melissa always got back to me very quickly. You can tell she really cares about each case personally.

Attorney Melissa Smejkal did a great job. I had several felony charges. She got my case down to a misdemeanor and got me off EM counting as time served. Very satisfied. My case could've took longer. Thank You.

Melissa was very professional and always responded to my emails promptly. She got my record expunged and kept me up to date at each step of the process. I would 100% recommend her services.

Melissa Smejkal was professional, responsive and provided good quality and value on a traffic violation case.

Attorney Smejkal is an attentive and caring person who will listen to your concerns, she helped me with two cases in Cook County. Highly recommended!

My name is Robert Henry and I had the pleasure of having Melissa Smejkal representing me as my Lawyer for my 2nd DUI case. She is very knowledgeable about all the steps and procedures that the City of Chicago and the State of Illinois has in place for you to earn your driving privileges again. She is very professional and well organized. She is very sympathetic to the needs of her clients. She works hard and is always on time with all appointments and all court hearings. She worked very diligently and was very passionate about making sure we followed all the steps for me to regain my driving privileges. In my Court Hearings, she knew exactly how to answer the Courts potential questions and what type of questions they would ask. She helped me, step by meticulous step, to give great, accurate and confident answers to any and all questions. She makes sure you are well equipped to handle any questions that may suddenly arise. I went into my hearing full of confidence and a real understanding of why I lost my driving privileges and what I needed to do to regain them back. Without her knowledge and true expertise in not only the law and the many procedures, she also understands the "human" element in we all make mistakes. I fully support Melissa and would recommend her to any one who needs representation or any one who is tired of "spinning their wheels" with other representation.

Melissa is very understanding and Will work with you to get you the fastest results you need for any criminal cases. She takes the time to listen to you and will do what is best for you and your long-term situation.I highly recommend her and she has also worked on helping me expunge my record. Definitely appreciate her one on one approach. I did feel like she cared and understood my frustration. She’s a GEM!

I had a great experience with Melissa. She explained things very thoroughly and straight to the point. Melissa also made my expungement process very smooth! I would highly recommend her.

Melissa was extremely professional with me, as I knew nothing about the court system. I would highly recommend Melissa, she is THAT lawyer you would want in your corner during a difficult situation.

Got a speeding ticket 26-32 over which is a class A misdemeanor in Chicago. Possible 6 months in jail or 1500 fine- she got it down to regular speeding ticket and a 214 fine. 10/10 recommend.

Melissa helped my family to take care one of the traffic accident case that involved with kid driving without license, as parents, it was hard to figure out what to do to get ourselves ready for the court. We got a friend who highly recommended Melissa to us, we exchanged a lot of questions and concerns over email. She normally replied her clear and easy to understand answer within 30 minutes, most importantly, she explained to us what we need to do and provide to her to make our case strong. On the court day, she took care the case by working closely with the prosecutor and present all of our evidences. Melissa is the person you can trust.

Melissa was very professional, knew what she was doing, and defended me to a good end result. It was the best experience I could have asked for working with her. Thank you again!

I emailed Melissa Smejkal on Saturday, right next morning after a violation vas committed. She promptly responded. I decided to hire her and later I understood that I made a right decision. I submitted all needed information per her request, so we actually met in a front of a court room. I suppose, she arrived long I did. Then, Melissa informed me that the decision seems to be a very appropriate. In a few minutes she introduced me to the judge. Approximately, I spend about 5 minutes in front of a judge and was very happy with a decision the judge made, because I was charged for a regular speeding. I appreciate Melissa's effort a lot and would sincerely recommend this lawyer to others.

With Melissa’s expertise my traffic case was resolved with a better outcome than I could have imagined. She was fast to respond to my questions and concerns and it was of great comfort to walk before the judge knowing I had the help of an experienced advocate. I recommend her counsel without hesitation.
