My family and I are beyond greatful for everything Mr. Garfinkle did for us. Last week we concluded an almost four year process to conclude my brother's case. His case was very complex, he had everything stacked against him. He showed up to court more times than I can count, while he was also negotiating and standing up for my brother behind the scenes. He is always just a text or call away if you have any questions. He is the one that personally takes care of you, you don't have to go through other staff members to get an answer. I called many law firms before someone referred us to Mr. Garfinkle, and most attorneys had extremely high fees with very large retainers. We were starting to lose hope when we spoke to him. He offered us payments that were accessible to us, and although the case stretched out more than we would have imagined he didn't charge us an additional fee. Attorneys that we didn't hire implied that is was likely a cheaper attorney would not give us a good resolution for the case. They were mistaken, he took care of us. Given the circumstances of the case, and our financial resources it's very unlikely someone would have reached a better conclusion. If you are on the fence about what attorney to entrust your case, know that Mr. Garfinkle is knowledgeable, relentless and doesn't take your trust in him lightly.

I contacted Hal M. Garfinkel regarding an upcoming traffic violation. He phoned me within the hour and explained that I do not need to consult a lawyer for this court appearance. I was encouraged by his kind, knowledgeable and prompt response.

Hal Garfinkel is not a good attorney simply because he is not a man of his word. I was fighting an agg UUW back in 2017 with a foid card. The case went on until the early summer of 2019 and he successfully helped me with getting first time gun offenders probation I give him that. Now the deal was sweet because all I had to do was complete about 50 hours of community service, and once completed the felony charge would be vacated. The problem with Hal is he told me once the case was resolved he would not charge me to get my foid card back. However, a while after the case I reached out to him to see if he would process my reinstatement and he told me that I would have to pay him $3,500, well that right there was absurd to say the least I’m thinking. To make a Long story short I contacted the ISP and emailed them my papers from the court and in one week I received a new foid card in the mail. All Hal cares about is money and not the best interest for ALL his clients.

Thankful for Hal Garfinkel’s diligence in my loved one’s case.

I would like to say Thank you for your service for Joseph Jones he was pleased with your work. And would suggest you to others

I was found with two firearms illegally during a routine traffic stop and was charged with possession of two firearms with attachments. Hal beat the case—no parole or anything. Everything was dismissed. HAL IS THE BEST IN THE STATE !!!

I hired Harold Garfinkel for my legal service and it was pleasure working with him. He got good connections and he got lots of years of experience. He is THE BEST one in his field. I would hire him again if I ever need lawyer, which I hope that will never happen.👍 Keep up the good work Hal.

Attorney Hal Garfinkle was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and dedicated to my brother’s case. He clearly explained every step of the process. He always responsive to my questions, and fought tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome. I felt completely confident in his abilities and would highly recommend Hal Garfinkle to anyone needing legal representation. He’s an awesome attorney.

I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for your exceptional work on my recent case. I know it was a long and tiring process, but your expertise and dedication were invaluable. Your ability to "work your magic" and ultimately win the case for me was truly impressive. I am so grateful for your assistance and would not hesitate to recommend your services to others.

Hal was great. He accepted my case same day as my court appearance and continued to keep me updated on what was going on with my case. He is very effective and will make sure he fights for your justice. He is very knowledgeable and will explain things in the best way to help you understand. He also listens and cares about what you have going on and doing what’s best for you. No case to little or to big Hal handles it.

Hal Garfinkel was the worse lawyer to hire he is more worried about money then communicating to you about your case. I would never refer or hire this lawyer he's not professional to my standards he's a thief he takes peoples money. I payed him 2,500 deposit and paid him 6,500 in total and he couldn't help me beat my case so I can get back to work and pay off the rest he was charging me 18,500 he didt even have me sign a agreement as most lawyers due so I feel he stole from me and is a scam

Me and my husband are incredibly thankful to Mr. Hal for helping us with my husbands difficult criminal case. Mr. Hal was professional, knowledgeable and supportive in one of the most stressful times in our lives. The case was on going for more that a year and now is closed with an AMAZING outcome. He is very strategic and skilled lawyer - HIGHLY recommended !!!

I had an old case in Chicago from 1998 and I finally got Hal to take my case. He did great job handling everything. I don’t even live in the state and didn’t even have to travel there. He handled everything and got that case finally closed. I really appreciate all of what he did. I would recommend him to anyone he knows what he doing and gets the job done. Thanks again Hal

Just wanted to take a minute to let anyone in need of a GREAT lawyer to know that Hal Garfinkel is your guy. I had a serious D.U.I. case with multiple other tickets and Hal represented me and had all the charges dismissed. He is a great lawyer that defends his clients vigorously and will do ALL in his power to get you the results you want. If you're in need of a great lawyer call Hal

Mr Garfinkel represented me for a year for a case that was extremely crucial to my young life. I was facing severe consequences for a terrible accident I had made and Mr. Garfinkel came through with a result that was almost impossible to achieve. He was with me every step of the way and treated me like I was family throughout the whole process. I couldn’t be more grateful for Hal’s help. He has a friend in me for life and anyone who is looking for a lawyer who will fight for you should hire Mr. Garfinkel. He will get you the results you need and want. Thank you Hal again for everything !

I had the privilege of working with Attorney Hal Garfinkel, and I cannot speak highly enough about his professionalism, expertise, and unwavering dedication. From the moment I reached out, Mr. Garfinkel took the time to listen, understand my concerns, and explained the entire legal process in a way that made me feel comfortable and informed. Throughout my case, Mr. Garfinkel demonstrated an exceptional understanding of criminal defense law and a strategic approach that was tailored to my specific situation. If it wasn't for Mr. Garfinkel, I could have faced jail time and hefty fines. What truly sets Mr. Garfinkel apart is his genuine care for his clients. He went above and beyond to ensure that my best interests were represented and fought tirelessly to secure the best possible outcome. He was able to bring a possible felony charge down to a misdemeanor with no jail time. Thanks to his expertise, guidance, and commitment, I received a favorable result that I am incredibly grateful for. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Garfinkel and I am deeply thankful for everything he did on my behalf.

Harold m garfinkel lets start by don’t waste your time nor your money on this guy . Charged me to miss court dates and just outright disrespectful when you tell him like it is. Like you forgot who hired you? Never on time until I stopped replying after he just kept doing nothing and asking for money but showed up 20 minutes early to remove himself as my attorney like he wasn’t fired already.

Hal is a great lawyer. He is backed by many years of experience in many different types of cases. Not only does he do his job, his personal goal is to beat every case if possible. I hope I never have to need another lawyer again, but If I do, I am calling Hal once again
