Posted by Aarroun | May 02, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Gun Law

One of the best attorneys of all time

This attorney is one of the best attorneys I have experienced in a long time. I had two gun charges that I had a case for. He did his best and beat both cases. Remind you. I was a Registered ®️ gun owner. To me he is a fair attorney. He does a exllecent job arguing your case and getting all motions ...dismissed. If you want a excellent attorney that will fight for you and win cases Stefan Fenner is a great candidate.

Knowledgable and Kind

Stefan helped me with a drug offense case while I was in college. I was afraid I might go to prison, as i had no money for a lawyer. On a friends recommendation, he took my case for free and argued on my behalf. With his help, the case was argued down to probation and some community service, based on... the offense being my first, and my academic record. Thank You!

Great Lawyer with a understanding of law from many different angles.

Stefan did an amazing job with my case. When you are caught in a situation with so much at stake; his knowledge of law in Illinois, Cook County, and the City of Chicago really made a big difference. My case took awhile to resolve, but his follow thru and patience were exemplary throughout the process.... I'd highly recommend Stefan and his legal services.

He understands that being charged with a criminal offense is the most serious thing going on in his clients' lives, and he spends the time, does the research, looks at all the options, investigates, and does everything he can to fix the problem his clients find themselves facing.

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.
