Mark is a phenomenal lawyer who was able to resolve my legal concern in one day! He is brilliant and has a phenomenal grasp of the law, but also humble enough to recognize when he needs to learn more. His prices are fair and considerate of the middle group of people who cannot qualify for a public defender but who cannot afford a lawyer. This is despite the fact that he could be charging much more as a graduate of one of the most prestigious law schools in the country. I would highly recommend him for all your legal needs!

When I approached Mark with my legal concerns, he immediately responded, detailing exactly what I needed to do. Throughout the process, Mark was honest and clear about the process and what I needed to contribute. It was evident with his attention to detail that my money was well spent. And the most important part, we won!

Best rental lawyer around very prompt and responsive

My son recently changed his group of friends and made some very poor choices. I contacted The Almanza Law LLC. Immediately upon reaching someone on the phone my anxiety began to subside. The first impression of any business is the initial phone call or the receptionist. Needless to say I was impressed. Attorney Mark Almanza accepted my son's case and was able to resolve it in favor of his client. Grant it there are stipulations pertinent to his freedom, but my son's brush with the law scared him straight and his attorney did not sugar coat things for him. A lesson well learned for my son and money extremely well spent on Attorney Mark Almanza !

Mark has been a pleasure to work with. Very professional and always happy to answer any questions I had. Would highly recommend!

I was charged and not to mention framed for a serious crime; I served 7yrs for this crime that I I did not commit (which was 4 class X’s and brought 6-30yrs for each one)! I recommended Josh for over 20yrs to family and friends in which he got them out of tough situations. I never thought that I would have needed him the way that I did. He came through and got my cases appealed in which it was over turned by the applet court. Although I served those 7 yrs, not only did he get my name back and my reputation but he also got a law stated in my name, Rosado VS The People, feel free to look it up and see for yourself! I never had a doubt that Josh would pull through and he did just that! I recommend him whole heartedly for any battle you are fighting. He saved my life and can also save yours!

I highly recommend!! Thee best, most honest... just great guy. Very well respected lawyer.

The best choice!

I was charged/framed for a serious crime, my family and I were at a loss as to how we would find a good lawyer. Everyone thought that I would go to prison. My family found Joshua B. Kutnick, and they hired him. Frankly, I was not certain that he would be able to win my case, yet I waited for the results. Prior to the trial date, he invested/worked as though he was a brother or father to me, within this cruel world I realized that humility still lives. On the day of trial, my nerves were wrecked. He went in and WOW! my case was dismissed, with no penalties. I was speechless, as was everyone else with the results. That was all due to the hard work and prowess of Joshua Kutnick, this honorable man has 18 years of experience under his belt. I normally don’t write lengthy reviews, however, I know that nobody’s absolutely perfect, everyone faces is accused once, if you’re charged, the most beneficial things you could have would be this lawyer. Thus, use him to your benefit. Do not assign a lawyer with a lack of background/experience who will only feed you empty promises, to get hold of your money, which will result in a bad outcome. Best of luck to you all.

Josh is a great criminal defense lawyer. I strongly recommend him.

The Toney Law Firm was excellent! They helped to resolve a long standing issue with my driver’s license in a timely manner with ease. I was told what to expect with each step and things happened just as I was told they would. No surprises and no additional cost. I would highly recommend.

I have had only two experiences with lawyers in my adult life, both stemming from a DUI I earned and deserved a couple of years ago. The first attorney went once to court with me and did a reasonable job as far as I know on the plea and getting me supervision. After that, he wasn't willing to take my calls and was pretty much non responsive. This led me to look on line for other representation. I won the lottery when I found the Toney Law Firm - They answered my questions and went to bat for me in the follow up court date. The result was complete termination of further responsibilities and a successful end of the supervision period. I got my life back with no strings attached. This would most surely not have been the result if I had retained the other attorney or tried to go it alone. If you are in a position similar to mine, I can't urge you more strongly to call The Toney Law Firm. Thanks Sarah & crew!

The Tony law firm made me feel like I made a sound decision to hire them. Cambry kept me well informed and was always prompt with a response to any questions. They went above and beyond for me during this pandemic. I felt like I wasn't just another case for the week. It's a lot to shoulder when you are dealing with a DUI, and they helped me navigate it with confidence.

If you or anyone you know is looking for an attorney, I highly recommend The Toney Law Firm. Sarah Toney, Cambry McNabb and Kenet Weed are the best attorneys I’ve ever dealt with. They were all very fast at responding to any questions I had, and also extremely helpful throughout my entire court process. They helped take a huge weight off of my shoulders, and I’m very thankful to have had their help. They are extremely knowledgeable, and have great experience with many types of cases. With any one of these women, you will be greatly represented. You won’t find better than this law firm.

Very responsive. Always returned my call in a timely manner. Very good customer service. Thanks for the help!!

    I was absolutely satisfied with Mr. Wise, I love how much effort and ambition he showed in my bench trial! He kept me up to date and informed every step of the way with everything.. which helped me feel more comfortable. Definitely recommend if you need someone dedicated and sharp to handle a DUI charge!

    The best lawyer out there! Wouldn’t think twice about having Mr. Wise as a lawyer. He puts all his time and effort when fighting for his clients.

    I had a cross-suit whereby I had placed an OP in DuPage and the Respondent placed one in Cook days later. It was becoming extremely messy and it was starting to turn against me. Attorney Wise is just the Zealous attorney needed for the job! I overheard him with a different matter being heard before my case in Cook and was thoroughly impressed. I am a 10-year paralegal and I have never seen this type of strategic assertiveness in all of my career. Extremely quick and to the point. Candid and an overall pleasure to have been represented by him. I have a peace of mind and would undoubtedly retain Mr. Wise again.

    Calling Howard an exceptional criminal attorney is quite an understatement; he literally saved the remainder of my life, and has allowed me to move forward with my dreams without a lengthy prison sentence separating the two. He successfully negotiated not one, but two life altering cases, concurrently. I am blessed to have chosen him amongst the countless other attorneys that make themselves readily available.. and I didn't need a stack of post cards to make that decision. I am forever endebted to him for his 2 + years of continued hard work; always seeming to somehow make it to Du Page, Maywood, and Skokie all in the same morning, knowing it was just for a continuance. He never stopped fighting for me (and my mother, grandmother, aunt and brother that hardly missed a date) and end all got me a better outcome than we all thought was even possible at the onset of this horrendous ordeal; even better than the best case scenario that we even discussed was possible. I tear up as I write this because I write it as a free man.

    Very rude the guy is a complete fraud.

      Calling Howard an exceptional criminal attorney is quite an understatement; he literally saved the remainder of my life, and has allowed me to move forward with my dreams without a lengthy prison sentence separating the two. He successfully negotiated not one, but two life altering cases, concurrently. I am blessed to have chosen him amongst the countless other attorneys that make themselves readily available.. and I didn't need a stack of post cards to make that decision. I am forever endebted to him for his 2 + years of continued hard work; always seeming to somehow make it to Du Page, Maywood, and Skokie all in the same morning, knowing it was just for a continuance. He never stopped fighting for me (and my mother, grandmother, aunt and brother that hardly missed a date) and end all got me a better outcome than we all thought was even possible at the onset of this horrendous ordeal; even better than the best case scenario that we even discussed was possible. I tear up as I write this because I write it as a free man.

    The work that Bob & Alison put in on my fiancé's case was nothing short of amazing! They took on a case that was on its last legs and not only got a better result but they made it make sense. The time, dedication and fight that was shown in the short time that they were on the case was something that our previous attorney hadn't shown in 2 years. I applaud them and would recommend them to ANYONE needing help. If there's a decision to be made, she explains everything so that you're comfortable but there is no settle in Alison, she has a win first mentality and she's going to work to get you the best result. Hopefully we'll never need her again but she would definitely be the first number I'd dial. I'D GIVE HER 10 STARS IF I COULD!!

    I spoke with Allison Anita in regards to a family members case, she was very professional, answered all my questions. Would recommend!

    Alison was great communicating when we were in the process of hiring Motta & Motta. However, out of the last 4 court dates, the 1st 2 dates the lawyers showed up late with no contact, neither knew anything about the case. The 3rd date was postponed due to the stay at home order and we were never notified and the most recent date nobody even bothered to show up. You can call them, but always get their off site answering service who can only send them a message.

    Allison was very helpful and knowledgeable when I explained my situation.

    No doubt the best criminal defense attorneys in Chicago. I was referred by a friend for federal drug trafficking case and Alison got the charges completely dropped. Would recommend to all friends and family.

    I had a serious case in Will County in courtroom 402. I was facing 8 criminal counts involving home invasion, aggravated use of a weapon, burglary and resisting arrest. I was completely innocent, and the entire incident stemmed from a disagreement with an individual that got out of control and ended up involving the police who also claimed they found a gun on me after arresting me. My wife was pregnant with our first child, and the Bolingbrook police department seemed bent on making my life hell. I was looking at more than ten years in prison. I hired attorney Uche who came highly recommended by a neighbor. Uche worked hard on my case. He was aggressive and tenacious with my case. To my pleasant surprise, on March 26, 2021, Attorney Uche got the prosecutors to dismiss the case; every single criminal count!!! I am back to my family, stress free and happy. Uche is a life saver and the best. A lot of the prosecutors really respect him, and it showed in the results.

    As an attorney, I have referred Attorney Uche multiple cases. Every single client I have sent has had an excellent experience and received excellent representation. Attorney Uche is a rare talent and an excellent courtroom advocate. Very well respected in the Chicago legal field.

    Glad to know this lawyer is now practicing personal injury law as he was a complete waste of time and money for the criminal cases he used to take. Very crooked and completely money hungry. Additionally I was represented by Mr. Uche in 2014 for a misdemeanor case he wasn’t even able to scratch the surface with. I was in a horrible situation and he just took my money until I fired him. How was a cheaper attorney able to get the case dismissed? I have no clue but it happened. All is good with me now but I still remember the horrible experience I went through. Regardless karma comes around and I hope it catches up somehow.

    I was falsely accused for having a gun. I was charged with a felony. Attorney Uche was able to get the prosecutors at the 26th street courthouse in Chicago to drop all the felony charges. Truly grateful to him. He is talented and also the consummate professional.

    Had a DUI in Bridgview Courthouse in courtroom 207. Attorney Uche took it to a bench trial in front of Judge Fairman and won for me within 30mins. Really appreciate it and now I can get this entire episode behind me.
