Beyond a reasonable doubt

Steven handled my bench trial on a DUI arrest. He was very effective in navigating the chaotic and slow Cook County circuit court. This took repeated dates -- prosecution took time to turn over discovery, the police officer did not show up for two dates. During this time, I was well-informed of what ...was likely to happen, what my options were, how long this is likely to take. I also felt protected, which is a lot to say, for me. During the trial itself, Steven was very effective. He came prepared with issues with reports and testimony that resulted in a verdict of not guilty, in spite of a tricky situation where the deck felt stacked against me. He was clearly in control and experienced in the courtroom. There is no way I could have navigated this myself, so I am perfectly satisfied.

jury verdict not guilty

I am a former client who was facing decades in prison for a criminal charge sexual assault 3 counts. I am here to tell you Steven Fagan saved my life. I had went through 3 lawyers before finding Steve. I went online searching for the best attorneys in Illinois and found Steve. After reading the rev...iews online I knew he practiced dui and criminal law, but is superb in dui. I figured if he's that smart in dui, he would also be smart in criminal cases to. My theory was right he is a smart attorney and works on behalf of his clients. The case came down to forensic science. Well Steve learned everything he could about DNA in a very short period of time, because the case was already set for trial when he pick up the case. He brought in the best expert witness to testify on my behalf. He cross examined the states attorney expert witness challenging every hole in their case. He was able to do this by spending hours of learning how DNA works. This case was semi - high profile case. which was heard by a jury. The states attorney office brought in one of their best special prosecutor. I'm here to tell you Steve is one of those lawyers you can trust will defend you no matter what the charge is, and will give a 100% effort. I was found not guilty by a jury on all 3 counts. I also faced a DUI which was heard by a judge. Steve knew more about DUI stops and the police training in dealing with DUI stops than the police who testified against me. The DUI was dismissed. Steve is one of a kind attorney he saved my life and will save yours if it's possible. THUMBS UP, AND I GIVE HIM 5 STARS AND MORE. THANKS STEVE

DUI not guilty all charges dropped

Steve knows the law! He is not afraid of the judge. He fought for my rights on a dui case all my charges were dropped! They overextended me a plea deal but Steve and his partners knew I could beat it so they did not take the deal! They work there buts off for your rights and not just take your money!... I was going to lose every this.g but with the help of Steve and his partners I lost nothing!

Not guilty!

After being charged with DUI, I contacted the law office of Fagan, Fagan and Davis. Steve Fagan promptly returned my call and clearly explained in detail, Illinois DUI laws and my rights. After thoroughly recounting the events of the incident, he presented me with several options for my representat...ion. I was impressed with his knowledge of DUI law and chose to fight the charges against me. Many attorneys would have assumed their client guilty and would have recommended a plea as such for a first time offender. Thanks to Steve's representation, I was found not guilty.

Amazing Argument - NO DUI

I was amazed at Steven's professionalism, knowledge and determination. He is well informed about DUI law and will fight for you and your rights. I was an out of town driver that got pulled over for speeding and running a red light. Eventually the officer arrested me and charged me with DUI. Af...ter several months and a few court appearances we went to trial and won. No DUI, no court supervision. I would recommend him and his law firm to anyone in IL.
