UUW

I was charged with a uuw and transporting alcohol. Bas dove head first into my case and did a lot of fact finding and was able to get my case dismissed. I’m now back to having a clean record and I have my firearms back for my families safety. I would hire him again and again and I 100000/10 would rec...ommend him for any case

Awesome passionate Lawyer and actually cares about the people he represents

Mr. Bas has been my lawyer since 2017 dealing with my nasty divorce and also false accusations from my ex wife. He has done nothing but been there for me legally and also cared enough of about me I do consider him a friend and not just my lawyer now. He’s represented me in jury trial with my ex wife ...domestic battery and we did receive a not guilty from the jury. Anytime asked about a lawyer he is the only one I recommended in IL. And not only does Mr. Bas care but all of his staff do as well and will help to work for the people he represents.

Excellent representation

I hired Robert Bas for my divorce and he got me full custody of my son. He also handled my criminal cases and done so much more than I expected he did an amazing job.

Attorney Robert Bas demonstrates utmost professionalism , compassion and tenacity

Early in 2020, as I was struggling with an unwanted divorce, I found myself in a traffic situation facing charges of a DUI. I immediately sought out Attorney Robert Bas’s assistance as he was suggested with high recommendations from a dear friend who happens to be an Attorney that primarily serves i...n a different county. I am extremely pleased that Attorney Robert Bas surpassed the recommendations as his tenacious demeanor and calming character provided a great deal of comfort and ease during my difficult time. Throughout our interactions, Attorney Bas always demonstrated utmost professionalism, genuine compassion and humility as he always ensured I was comforted and informed of my case. If you find yourself in a difficult situation, I highly recommend and humbly support Attorney Robert Bas to provide the assistance needed.

GREAT LAWYER WITH A GREAT RESULT

Mr. Bas did a great job for me. I was charged with a crime I did not commit and the Alton Police had it out for me only because I got in trouble over 20 years ago, BUT I DIDNT DO ANYTHING SINCE!! Mr. Bas made the cop look a fool and the jury found me NOT GUILTY! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
