Highly Recommended Stress Free Lawyer

I highly recommend Fabbrini Law Group. James was professional, prompt and had nothing but goodwill. I was in a bind because I was about 1 ticket away from losing my license and driving for my job is a necessity. I have had a pretty poor traffic history during my youth and some major traffic violation...s. I called around some of the best offices Chicago has to offer even some ex judges but they all told me how serious my offense is, how it will not end well for me. I was not reassured at all and the prices were sky high! Examples of some figures would be 1000-2000 for the first court date and 500 for additional court appearances with a "promise" of having it reduced not removed (I would also like to mention that it would take a full day for replies). When I got into contact with James, he emailed me back right away with an assuring tone that this is a case he is confident he can get worked out to my liking. I was tight with money during that week and he accommodated my financial situation. The day of; I met him at the court house, he made a great deal with the prosecutors, kept my license and even got me supervision on serious charge to get it knocked off my record in the future without charging me a arm and a leg. He also stuck around to make sure I had everything situated and to see if I had any questions for him! 10/10 Great attorney and a genuinely great guy!

Only the best

Had a somewhat small speeding ticket (93 in a 55). Called Jim with Fabbrini Law Group. Great people over there. Explained my situation and from the start of the conversation they knew exactly what to do. They helped me through out the entire process. Their response time for emails and phone calls wer...e amazing. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Jim and his group to anyone! Hopefully I never run into an issue like this again but, if I do, I know who to call. Thanks Guys!!

Highly Recommended

Jim and the staff at Fabbrini Law Group do amazing work and in a very timely manner. When I was injured in a car accident I was worried how I would pay the bills. Jim and his staff made sure I got the help I needed without any added stress. I highly recommend them!
