We are a happy family again! Hal took on our case where a family member was charged with threatening a public official, a class 3 felony in Illinois with possible prison time. Hal was very responsive and professional throughout the whole process. He is definitely one of the best lawyers I have ever come across...knows the law like the back of his hand. Hal was ready to fight this all the way to trial, and I'm sure he could have won this case but ultimately it was our decision to try and plea this down....Hal was able to get this charge broken down to a misdemeanor disorderly conduct, about the same as a high speed ticket. We received some supervision and community service with the possibility to expunge when this is completed. We will definitely be calling on Hal to help us out with a full expungement. Hal is a great guy and really cares about the outcomes for his clients. I would recommend him to anyone in need of help with the legal system.

Hal Garfinkel is an exceptional attorney whose professionalism and dedication to duty far exceeds any attorney I personally have had interactions with. Mr Garfinkel's attention to detail and tenacity for justice are just a few examples of his extraordinary work. He does not take a I won't or I can't attitude toward his cases. He is straight to the point. Mr Garfinkel was able to take my case of a Class 3 Felony and bring it down to a Class C Misdemeanor. I highly recommend Harold Garfinkel. He brought peace and closure to myself and my family. Words can not describe how grateful I am for this man and know that he will help many more in the future. Thank you Hal !

Disrespectful when he answered the phone and told me right there he isn't the right lawer

Had a great experience. He answered all my questions during the consultation and seemed like he really cared.

I don’t even know where to begin—Hal is an incredible attorney. He represented my brother, who was facing multiple charges and could be behind bars for 6-30years, and from day one, Hal was knowledgeable, professional, and completely dedicated to his case. I have never seen an attorney walk into a courtroom with so much confidence and determination. The way he carried himself immediately put my family at ease and gave us hope during a very difficult time. Hal, my family can never thank you enough for everything you did for my brother. We truly appreciate all the hard work, time, and effort you put into his case. YOU ARE THE BEST IN YOUR FIELD, and I would highly recommend you to anyone in need of an attorney.

I would like to say that Attorney Hal Garfinkel that i can not tank you enough for saving my family by fighting for my son freedom and winning. This would have put my son in prison for 6 to 30 years for a gun charge but Mr Hal Garfinkel worked hard and left no stone unturned. Thank you Mr Hal Garfinkel we could never express our gratitude for your hard work and keeping our family together. If you are in a Seriously situation with the law i would highly recommend Mr Hal Garfinkel.

Mr. Garfinkel is one of the toughest lawyers I’ve ever encountered. We faced a challenging situation, but he guided us through it and helped us emerge victorious. If you’re considering hiring him, don’t hesitate. He’s an absolute pleasure to work with.

We appreciate the support and legal guidance we received during our case. The attorney was knowledgeable and helped us navigate a difficult situation, and we were ultimately able to receive supervision, which we are grateful for. At times communication was a bit slow, likely because he is a very busy attorney, which did create some anxiety during the process. However, his experience and legal support helped us reach a positive outcome, and we appreciate his efforts.

I was in need of a good lawyer and found a great lawyer Hal M. Garfinkel is definitely a good person as he is a great attorney I’m glad I found him 🙏🏼

By Eric Drew on Jan 31, 2026

My 22-year-old son was facing some serious charges. Pre and post Miranda my son said some very damaging things and Hal had his work cut out for him. What seemed to be a case in which my son was going to receive many many years, Hal worked diligently and somehow was able to reach a plea bargain that we, as his family, never thought possible. I can't thank you enough Hal for all you have done for this family and my son! Anyone would be a fool not utilizing Hal's services!

By Toria Gotti on Jan 29, 2026

He’s an amazing lawyer he got both criminal cases dismissed. He’s a hard worker, doesn’t spend a lot of time talking to the client because he’s truly working hard as your attorney and getting the job done let him do his job he’s a professional and very well versed in what he does. He told us not to worry and we truly didn’t have to he is well worth the price and I would recommend him to anyone!
