In my past life as a former prosecutor, I prosecuted literally thousands of traffic cases. I know the ins and outs of the system, where things can go wrong and exactly how harsh traffic penalties can be. After spending years as a prosecutor, I got tired of being on that side of things. I got tired of being the “bad guy” and having to charge people ridiculous fines.
If you need an Illinois traffic attorney that is going to fight for you and make sure you get the best outcome possible, call our office at (618) 607-4200 or schedule your appointment online.

Julian was extremely professional, diligent and respectful throughout the case we worked on. While he was on the opposing side, we were able to effectively communicate and come to a mutually beneficial outcome. I highly recommend this attorney.
