Where to start.. I was in a bind quick, looked for a lawyer out of Saint Louis. He lied, charged me 2,000 and left me empty handed. I did my research and found Jessica Koester. I was facing 6 charges with fines totaling around $7,000. She Charged me less than half of the other lawyer and was exceptional. I ended up paying $500 in court fees and that was it. She was quick to respond to my questions when i had them. i would recommend for sure.
Review
Jessica handled my case wonderfully! I was happy with the outcome- it cost me less than I was expecting and that's always a good thing. I definitely recommend her!!

Many people do things for a living, but then there are those who do things for a purpose. I personally can’t say enough about this woman. She has so far been a God sent for my family and I in a time that is scary and unknown. I know the stereotype of lawyers, you know that they are liars and have to be a “male” to get stuff done or make things happen. NO, don’t believe that narrative. If you’re facing some problems where you need solutions and a partnership to find it, this is the invitation to that journey because it will be one. She has been patient, responsive, and REAL. I’m so glad my family trusted my choice in her and that she has came into our lives at this time. Two things you need when facing life altering sentences, GOD and GOOD counsel, she is the counsel you need.
Review
I was repeatedly impressed by the confidence in your actions, and I always trusted you to put my best interest at the heart of whatever advice you offered me. Jessie was prepared, knowledgeable and informative. I appreciated the prompt attention to all issues presented.
Review
Jessica was wonderful to work with. She helped me with a couple different legal issues and I'm sure the outcome would not have turned out so well without her assistance. If I ever need help again, she will be the one I go to. She eased a lot of the stress that I caused my family.

Brian got me the best possible outcome I could have received. His secretary Marie is Great! Couldn't be happier with there work and Thank You Brian and Thank You Marie for helping me through this process
Review
I hired Brian to represent me for a felony case I had back in June of last year. I needed to find an attorney right away and he agreed to represent me. While I was waiting for my case to be heard, the local police seized my vehicle. Since I had already retained Brian, I asked him if he would represent me in this forfeiture case. He agreed. I can't thank him enough! When we went to court, he was very informative about state forfeiture and seizure laws. Needless to say, he won my case and I was awarded my car back from the police! I was more than impressed with the way he presented and argued my case and so was his peers. After it was over, and I was walking back to my seat, one of the other attorney's in the court room came up to me and told me I had the best attorney to represent me in this case. I have to agree!!! Brian went above and beyond what a regular attorney would do and I was able to get my car returned to me without it "costing me an arm and a leg." I have to say Brian is the best attorney around here and I would highly recommend him if you need an awesome attorney to represent you on felony cases.

Always my first call. Courts are not the place to be without a lawyer. Sullivan Law has always helped me. I've sent so many people to them and I have always had them come back and thank me. I rather pay the lawyer once than the insurance for the next 6 years.
Review
Absolutely wonderful experience always taken care of leaving feeling confident and comfortable with the service provided. I advise and recommend others to feel comfortable being taken good care of by Sullivan Law.
Review
I could not retain Kelly Sullivan's services on an expungement case because she was out of jurisdiction but beautiful soul that she is, she patiently explained to me what I needed to do to process my case myself. She is a rare breed of human being. I would highly recommend Kelly and her firm for representation needs in her jurisdiction. Just spectacular. I know what I need to do now when I was confused and uncertain beforehand. She clarified and defined for me what was essentially the process to pursue. Thank you, Kelly. Have a beautiful life.

Scott is an amazing attorney. His knowledge of the law is nothing short of amazing. He truly cares about each of his clients and does everything in his power to achieve a favorable outcome. I personally would never hire anybody besides Scott he is a great man!
Review
Mr. Hanken does what he says he will do. I had a speeding ticket and was worried it will affect my immigration record. It was my first speeding ticket - Scott convinced the judge to ammend the ticket to non moving, thus not affecting my immigration and work visa. We're human, we make mistakes. Dont make one mistake ruin your life - hire Scott and dont panic, he will do all the work. Carrie is very responsive and professional worker - Listen to what she tells you and trust their word. Q.
Review
Hiring Scott Hanken was the best decision ever. I was driving from St. Louis to Chicago and I was pulled over by the State Police in Springfield, IL-Sangamon County. The officer issued me an improper passing of emergency vehicle with court appearance and I live in Chicago. I decided to look online and after many great reviews , I contacted Scott’s office. The paralegal Carrie was great explaining what was needed to start the process with the court. The attorney was able to get the ticket dismissed and called me the same day with the news. I appreciate his help and professionalism. He is a lifesaver and extremely recommended. I am so glad I did my research and I found him.

Come Highly Recommended... I researched Attorneys in Springfield, and hired Attorney Vig for a relative who encountered some serious and questionable legal trouble, in the beginning of Jan 2020. My relative & I are incredibly grateful with the outcome of his case.

Now his Client is entering the New Year with less stress and the ability to shift his focus on his family, his job, and future endeavors. -Thank You God for discernment in hiring Attorney Vig!

I hired him to represent a family member in a traffic law case. He put in extra work without charge when the case turned out to take more time than originally expected. The resolution that he negotiated resulted in a cost savings which was much greater than his fee.

Best law firm around if you ever need them. They put so much effort in to make sure their client gets out of tough situations. Super efficient, quick and dedicated to their work. Mark Johnson was my attorney 4 months ago and now he’s family. The whole staff is very co-operative and put a lot of hard work to make the process quick. I recommend them 10/10. Only law firm who is not all about your money. I highly recommend hiring Mark if you ever need him.
Review
The legal representation provided by Johnson Law group was outstanding. I was kept up to date on the status of a lengthy case without ever having to miss work to attend court and all of my concerns were promptly addressed. Mark, sensitive to our situation strategized and persevered through COVID restrictions against a party unwilling to bargain to ultimately obtain the outcome we were hoping for in the beginning. I will always return here for any representation and I would recommend the attorneys at Johnson Law Group to anyone who finds themselves in unfortunate situations. Thank You Mark!

The work products were organized and concise, and they were on top of all of the issues. I highly recommend the Johnson Law Group.
