also known as Hoyle Law Office
If you want an attorney who will fight hard for you in the courtroom, then James L. Hoyle of Hoyle Law Office is the law firm for you. I spent the last 12 years working 60 hours per week as McDonough County's Chief Prosecutor and my office produced record statistics and courtroom victories. I know how the police work and why they do what they do under your circumstances. If you want an attorney to find a flaw in their case, you need an attorney who spent years helping build those criminal cases and who knows the related laws. Whether you have a felony, misdemeanor or DUI, I will get to work quickly getting your evidence and case together for you.
As for other matters, I have handled hundreds of cases involving divorce, family law, orders of protection and juvenile court proceedings in the last 18 years. As a DUI hearing officer and administrative prosecutor with the Illinois Secretary of State, I handled over 600 DUI reinstatement hearings.

Im very glad I contacted this man.
I look forward to hiring this man because the first time I called him he immediately started researching my case on the phone with me. I've never seen any lawyer act that quickly not even knowing if I would hire him or not. I instantly felt better about life after talking with him.

A great man who’s awesome at his job
A noticeable difference in appearance Between him and many other lawyers in the court room. Mr. Hoyle was very reassuring and always asked what questions I had.

Professional & Knowledgeable
I was looking for a good criminal defense lawyer who was going to help me and my situation. I walked into Mr. Hoyle's office for a consultation and explained my case and he took the time to read into every detail. After that he told me exactly what he would do if I hired him. I did choose to hire Mr....

Great license reinstatement attorney
I couldn't be happier with Mr. Hoyle's services. I hired him for a formal driver's license reinstatement hearing. He did an excellent job making sure all my paperwork was perfect and let me know what to expect. He even gave me a ride to my hearing. He really knows what he's doing and because of that ...
"James was my employer for many years. I have argued endlessly with him on cases and he has won more than his fair share of arguments against me on a broad range of subjects. He is one of the most intelligent attorneys in Macomb. I would come into the office many times late at night and find him still there working. I believe he has tried more jury trials in McDonough County than any other attorney. I highly recommend hiring James for any of your legal needs."
