Excellent Attorney that you need!

My Attorney Oliver Soleiman helped me out a lot with my case, he went far and beyond for me and the end results are very very good and satisfying. He has exceptional expertise in his field and knows how to do his job without any doubt. I can’t thank him enough for his help. I strongly recommend and... encourage everyone who is hesitant and still doing the research, you have found the right person and a good law firm!

Outstanding attorney.

I hired Oliver for my DUI case that I knew would be a difficult case. I personally thought the case would not go in my favor given how tough the laws are in IL for these charges and the circumstances of the case itself. He worked tirelessly to explore every detail of the case and in the end we were... victorious on winning both the summary suspension and the case itself. He was professional, courteous, and always made himself available to answer any questions/concerns I might have. I highly recommend him and Michael Ettinger & Associates law firm for anyone facing this type of charge.

He’s a real honest person

I had an excellent experience working with my lawyer. They were very professional, clear, and thorough in explaining the facts of my case and the options available to me. I truly appreciated their honesty and straightforward approach in addressing my charges. Their guidance gave me confidence through...out the process, and I would highly recommend their services to anyone in need of legal representation. Thank you oliver soleiman

Thank you for the kind words! I am thrilled we were able to get your case dismissed!

Absolutely recommend!

Oliver’s firm was recommended to me by a colleague. I can’t imagine where I’d be had I not hired Oliver for my divorce proceedings. He is empathetic and communicative. He is very knowledgeable and is not afraid to dig in. The fact that he works outside of only family law is invaluable. I am confident... he is doing all he can to ensure a positive outcome to my case and would recommend him to anyone going thru a difficult divorce.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I knew instantly upon meeting Oliver in law school that he would be an outstanding attorney simply because of his hardworking nature and genuine interest in the law. As we progressed through law school, I watched him work diligently to earn a CALI excellence award and join the 3YP program, where he gained hands on experience with clients before even graduating. It was during this time that I realized just how much Oliver truly enjoyed interacting with his clients, taking the time to explain complex legal issues and advocating for their interests above all else. It is a combination of these qualities that makes Oliver a great attorney; he is truly passionate about helping his clients and isn't afraid to do the hard work in order to put his clients in the best position. Further, he is extremely easy to work and collaborate with which makes everyone around him perform better. Oliver would be an asset to any firm, just has he has been an asset to me throughout my legal journey."
