Attorney, Brendan W. Caver, is a caring, compassionate, highly intelligent criminal defense attorney. He worked very hard and went above and beyond to get the best possible outcome for my unique and challenging case. I highly recommend him!!

Disordery conduct, Winnebago County-Illinois

Greetings, Its been some time since I had a brush with the law. Being the President of a major waste to energy corp, I made a mistake in judgment when dealing with the dismissal of an employee, which an order of protection and disorderly conduct charge was filed against me. Lucky, I found Mr. Caver who used his knowledge of the law, cunning tactics and the ability to sniff out the leaks in the charges against me, exposing the truth in my favor. This attorney is kind, savvy and without question on his way up the Judaical System headed for a higher office in a swamp of attorneys who just take money and practice sloppy bench law. I was headed for a one year sentence and instead found a new understanding in criminal law and regained my faith in the Justice System through his unqine style and stature in a court room. Hands down professional- sophisticated and down right overpowering when the right moment presents itself. The only question I had was can I be assured the judge will hear the truth over the masses of under privileged people caught up in our country's broken legal system, the answer was a confident YES! When in need of council in private matters..be wiser than the rest..Call Brendan William Caver and put the judge to the test!. Respectfully,

Thank you to a great lawyer!

I would just like to thank Brendan for all the hard work and long hours he put in for us. Brendan is very good at what he does! He knows the laws and how the court system runs! He was always pleasant and made us feel comfortable in all the uncomfortable things that were talked about. He treated us like real people and not just some terrible person off the street. He gave us very smart and knowledgeable advise that definitely worked for our best interest.. He got our charge dropped from a felony to a misdemeanor which is huge when your talking about the rest of your life! We cannot thank him enough for everything he did!!! We would definitely use him again and would highly recommend him!!
