Joseph Michael Borsberry

I utilized Borsberry Law for a DUI case. Joe was straight forward, explaining what I options I had and what the law was regarding the charges from incident. After a long legal battle, we had the DUI dropped and a very favorable result. This prevented me from having to work through a reinstatement ...process if the charge had held up. I would recommend Joe and his office to anyone in central IL with a case in criminal or his other areas of expertise. Excellent lawyer. A very helpful staff. Overall, a great law practice that produces results.

Joseph M. Borsberry made promises in my preliminary consultation which he did not have any intention of keeping. I had paperwork to show that my arresting officer in my DUI case was dishonest and he agreed, I told him that he cussed and went down a hill to urinate on video. The officer gave a roadsid...e test on a hill. Borsberrry said that he would go to trial with that information. For that reason. I gave him his retainer fee of $2500.00. After a month and receiving emails with the wrong dates on them, I requested a meeting to discuss the police video which Mr. Borsberry refused to view in the preliminary consultation. Again, he would not view the police video of the officer going down a hill to urinate. The video also contained the voice of police officers using profanities. I also had paperwork proving that the officer gave five DUI’s in a two-week period. Joseph Borsberry had the paralegal look at the video on computer, across from me as she described the wrong location during the meeting. The 65-minute video was not played beyond the first two minutes. During that meeting Mr. Borsberry said that he and the expert witness do not want to go after the officer who gave me a Standardized Field Sobriety Test on a hill. Which was easily proven with a cue ball rolling down the hill and also using a six-foot level. I had two witnesses on video rolling a cue ball up the hill and it rolled back down on its volition. They also employed a six-foot level. They were approved by the judge and ready to testify. He said, "I will have them testify if I feel like it." I then left the meeting and began to send Mr. Borsberry emails to discuss my case further. He sent back emails that made no sense. When I sent emails to rectify my meaning he sent more nonsensical emails and charged me for every nonsensical email. In this way, and with Motions which made no sense, he burned up over $2100. 00 of the retainer and left me to go to trial on my own, as my own attorney, Pro Se.
