Excellent Educational Law Attorney
My son brought a squirt gun to school and got caught with it. I know this is a silly reason to need and attorney. The school board wanted to expel him for one full year for bringing a "weapon" to school. My son should have known better but we felt like a one year expulsion was too extreme. Paul represented us for the school board hearing. While doing some work on the case he discovered that the school district was not protecting my son's rights under the law regarding his 504 plan. Paul made sure everything was done by the book. He also opened up communication with the school board's attorney and got them to agree to a one month suspension that won't go on his record. If you need an educational law attorney, Paul is your guy!! It's obvious that he genuinely cares about his clients and what they are going through. 5 stars, highly recommend! Thanks again Paul!

Feel Safe With Paul
Some years ago I was facing up to 10 years in prison. As you can imagine this was a very troubling time for me and I was unsure as to what would happen next. I met with Paul and from that day forward I knew i was in good hands. Very professional, highly intelligent (without boasting it), and extremely empathetic, Paul is someone who makes you feel comfortable regardless of the circumstances as he is very easy to talk to. He even offered me advice in other minor cases that I had going on at the time as well as every day life advice. My case took a few years to be resolved but in the end he was able to reduce my sentence to no jail time at all and now the entire charge has been dismissed. I would recommend Paul to any person, with any case regardless of the difficulty. You will not regret having him on your side.

A complete life (and license) saver.
When I got an obscenely large ($43,000) fine on an overweight truck ticket, I thought my career and future were ruined. I had never been in a situation where I needed to hire an attorney, so finding someone who actually cared about my case and seemed committed to helping was a daunting task. I reached out to Paul after reading through all of his reviews. He responded almost instantly, and his dedication to helping me fight the fine and save my CDL was apparent right away. I live out of state, and Paul handled all of the court appearances for me which saved me several trips to IL, and he kept me updated through the whole process. Paul did thorough research and examined several angles through which he could fight this for me. At the end of it all, Paul brought the $43,000 fine down to $1,000, and saved my license by ensuring no moving violations or points against my CSA score. I'm so grateful to Paul and so glad that I hired him. I hope to never be in abother situation where I need legal help, but I have his number saved, just in case.

Fantastic, I highly recommend!
Outstanding; Mr Marriett has been absolutely top notch from beginning to end. I had a minor motor violation I was not guilty of brought against me almost a year ago. Paul Marriett from the very beginning did an excellent job of explaining to me the possible outcomes and his game plan thoroughly after each court appearance. He has communicated with me consistently, and professionally from the beginning. The case was eventually dismissed from court and I can not express how wonderful it was working with Paul Marriett. If you are in need of legal services and representation, do not hesitate to hire Paul Marriett, his number is now saved to my speed dial. Thank you again Mr Marriett and I wish you the very best in your career.

Excellent!!!
I have used Mr. Marriett on a couple occasions and have been nothing but satisfied. He is always willing no matter what day it is to answer a call or text which is rare now a days. It always seems you have to go through a secretary and wait a week for a return call. Not in this case. Mr. Marriett explains things in a way you can understand and doesn't try to make you think he can do something he can't. I highly recommend him and have to a few people. They also have had excellent results and have been happy with the outcome and with Mr. Marriett in general. He is a very down to earth guy and very personable which is hard to find now a days in the legal field.

Excellent lawyer
My wife and I were very fortunate to have chosen Paul to represent me. I was arrested and charged for public indecency. Paul worked diligently and promptly and was able get my case dismissed. He replies to queries promptly through emails and texts. He is very reassuring and you can feel his sincerity and concern for his clients. I would highly recommend Paul.

Paul Marriett is a first rate attorney
Attorney Paul Marriett came highly recommended to represent me concerning a potentially serious speeding violation involving a medical emergency. When our initial request for dismissal was rejected with prejudice by a new and unsympathetic district attorney, Paul researched and presented apposite case law the DA was initially unaware of, swiftly resulting a generous plea agreement to a lesser charge and court supervision. Paul is highly intelligent, and fought for my interests with tenancity. I consider him an equal to the top flight attorneys I have previously retained while living in Boston. I plan on hiring Paul for all future legal representation in Rockford.

DUIs
I am so glad I found Attorney Marriett when I did. I had another attorney that wanted me to take 3 years in prison for my 3rd DUI, and Attorney Marriett got it down to 8 days in county, and probation! I would definitely recommended him for any traffic case! Thank you Attorney Marriett!!

Paul has all the qualities that make a great defensive attorney! He exceeded my expectations!
Paul saved my license and essentially my livelihood. I work for the Illinois Department of Transportation as a permanent temp, Nov-Mar. The position requires a class A-CDL. I was pulled over for speeding 20mph over, and no insurance. I misunderstood the back of the ticket and I missed my court date. I never received anything by mail, ever. After almost 6 weeks went by, I found out they had convicted me on all the tickets and my drivers licence was to be suspended. That's when I called Paul. He immediately motioned the court and my no insurance conviction was dismissed! He then had Springfield update the case to remove my license suspension. He had my speeding ticket reduced to a non moving violation, and therefore kept my record clean and my CDL safe. Had those convictions stayed, I would have lost my seasonal job. As a single father, I NEED the job to support my girls and I. I would highly recommend Paul. He's professional, courteous, and gets the job done. Thank you Paul!

I got a traffic ticket in Winnebago county, Paul was able to get me deferred prosecution so that it doesn't show up on my driving record. I didn't even have to show up for court. Thanks for your help and your service Paul!

Paul your the best!!
After my husband got his DUI we were so confused and so lost. We had no idea where to start or how we were going to get out of this mess. We did a search online for top lawyers in IL and that's when we found Paul. After reading all the great reviews we decided to contact him. I think this was the best decision my husband and I have ever made. Paul is very professional and very helpful. He did everything he said he would do and if it weren't for him im not sure where we would be right now. He got us through one of the most toughest times of our lives. Paul your awesome!! Thank you for everything. We cannot thank you enough!!

Quick and professional
First and foremost, I wound not have been able to ship to boot camp for the United States Marine Corps had it not been for Mr. Paul Marriett. I was ticketed going 23 over and would have had my license suspended due to the amount of tickets I have. It took one call to him to settle all my worries. He went to the court house that day (didn't even pay him yet) and changed my court date for my convenience. That goes to show that he genuinely cares about you and your case... Not how deep your pockets are. He also did a phenomenal job at keeping me updated via calls/texts, as well as what I needed to bring to court. Every question was answered quickly and worded in a way that's easy to understand. Court was also quick and easy. I showed up and talked to him right away in private, he went and talked to the prosecutor, came back to me and explained everything. We then went in front of the judge and I got to keep my license. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes. Moral of the story. He does great work and is definitely the right guy for the job.

Great Results on a DUI case
Paul knows his stuff when it comes to DUI cases. I had no license suspension, no conviction and no worries. I didn't do it and he proved it. His skills are definitely worth more than he charged. Don't hesitate with him.
