A true professional and caring lawyer

Amelia Lahn is the embodiment of professionalism, kindness, and determination. She helped my son during a very difficult time when he was falsely accused of sexual assault at his university. Amelia gave us hope and confidence, and she worked extremely hard to get the results that we wanted. We cannot... be more pleased with Amelia for her invaluable assistance during my son's proceedings at his university. I highly recommend Amelia to represent you

A parent's best defense

As a parent, you never expect that you will get a phone call in the middle of the night from your college student telling you that they need legal assistance. We got that call and contacted a lawyer in Chicago for advice. He recommended attorney Amelia Lahn. Her experience as the former Coordinato...r of Student Conduct at Indiana University’s Office of Student Ethics was invaluable in assisting our student in navigating through the University’s student conduct (ethics) process and the resulting meetings with the Dean of Student’s office due to the violation of the University’s code of conduct. Because of her experience, our student was treated fairly by the University and able to comply with the necessary steps to remove themselves from probation in a short period of time. In addition, Ms. Lahn also assisted with the criminal component of the infraction and worked with the court to get our student into the pre-trial diversion program as part of the penalty process thereby avoiding a trial. Ms. Lahn respectfully and frequently communicated with us throughout the process without violating our student’s privacy. Her fees are reasonable given the service she provides. We have also used her to assist our student in getting a security deposit back that the landlord refused to return. Overall, she is fair, reasonable, honest, and direct as to how she can assist your student in any legal manner they encounter. Both situations were an invaluable learning experience for our student (and us) and well worth the expense.

Excellent an Highly Recommended!

Amelia Lahn represented me when I was charged with an OUI. Ms. Lahn was not only professional, but caring and concerned about my personal well being. This was a very difficult time for me and my family, Amelia made every step of the process as painless as possible. She was upfront and honest about... what she would be able to do for me. The costs were reasonable and fair. She was available to discuss my case with me when I needed her. I was comfortable disclosing information to her, and she kept my confidence throughout the procedure. Ms. Lahn directly contacted the prosecutor and was able to negotiate on my behalf. Her personal attention to my case made me feel assured that I was getting the best representation possible. She takes her responsibilities seriously and her counsel was invaluable. I have and will continue to recommend Amelia without reservation to my family and friends.

Professional and helpful

I had a 3 year old case that I had no idea about. I hired Amelia soon after my 1st court date. She was was very helpful in finding information for me and communicating it all promptly. She was able to bring down my charges significantly which included not having to serve a full year probation but ins...tead only serving 6 months. She was very understanding of my situation and always answered my questions. She was able to keep me at ease through all of the stress brought on by my case. I was overall very satisfied with her work.

Terrible

Poor communication throughout. She seemed to me to care more about getting along with people in the prosecutor's office than in fighting to have my case dismissed. She once did not show up for a court date because she had changed the date with the prosecutor but didn't tell me. I sat there in court w...aiting for her to show until the prosecutor finally asked me why I was there. I ended up taking community service because she went from This is a ridiculous charge, to This is the best you'll do--and it took a year and upfront charge of over $1,500.
