Hands down , to everyone who needs the guy who is professional and loyal the best , Hal is only one ! Don’t waste your time to call anyone call the best attorney in Chicago land , I plagę for this machine !

I don’t believe in coincidences but what this man did for my brother and the way he came in to represent him. He came in ready to fight for my brother and get him released from being detained all in a matter of hours. My family thanks you for your attention and professionalism.

What I have to say about this great lawyer is, he is a “GET IT DONE” and “WE GOT THIS” nature I appreciate the work he does and his dedication to his clients give me peace. His “NO WORRIES” approach to cases feel great interacting with him… THANK YOU SO MUCH HAL!!!!

When I first caught my case I was facing jail time Hal assured me I would serve no jail time and he acted upon his promise not only keeping me out of jail but also getting my probation time reduced and giving me a better plea deal offer then what was originally offered!

Hal is seriously the best. I’m trying to find the best words to explain how happy I am with the outcome of things! He works fast, efficiently, and maintains great communication.

Outstanding Attorney – Highly Recommend Hal Garfinkel From the very first phone call, Hal Garfinkel proved to be exactly what our family needed—responsive, compassionate, and deeply committed. He answered my call immediately, listened to our urgent situation, and took swift action when my son was locked up with no resolution in sight. Mr. Garfinkel not only made a court appearance on my son’s behalf but went above and beyond to get the case completely thrown out. Thanks to his efforts, my son’s second chance probation was reinstated—something we never thought possible. His services were reasonably priced, and he handled our case as if it were his own family in need. We are truly grateful for the dedication and professionalism he displayed. If you’re looking for an honest, effective attorney who truly cares, I wholeheartedly recommend Hal Garfinkel. He’s a blessing during difficult times.

Hal Garfinkel's quick reply to my call for help was a godsend. He was able to help me in a tight situation and was very thorough in giving me the help I needed for my family's legal problem

Hal is phenomenal!!! Very straightforward, reassuring, and professional. Even with his heavy case load he was attentive to my case and always communicated. I owe him greatly!! Thank you for providing your services to me.

To simply put it, DO NOT HIRE THIS ATTORNEY. Hal, Harold, Mr. Garfinkel, does not care about the people he represents. I was taught better than to write bad reviews about people, but this is well deserved. A good criminal attorney needs to sympathize with their client and take the time to understand their client completely because at the of the day you as a client need someone to represent your best interests and advocate for the best outcome. Lawyers need to be compassionate. As a quick disclaimer, I am not a clinically licensed psychologist, but I am able to tell you Mr. Garfinkel does not possess any qualities that a good lawyer should. Between the lack of sympathy and compassion, his huge ego, and an uncanny ability to trip over his own arrogance, it’s a wonder he hasn’t elevated himself to the status of a self-help guru. All jokes aside, I was doomed from the start. The outcome of my situation was terrible. DO NOT HIRE.

Hal is an exceptional lawyer and an even more remarkable person. Honestly, he’s magic. He was there for us every step of the way—steadfast, transparent, and always on time. He went above and beyond for my husband’s case and got it dismissed. His dedication, integrity, and skill are unmatched. Hal is, without question, the best defense attorney in Chicago. We owe him so much. If I could give him all the stars, I would. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of a true legal champion. Thank you Hal for everything. We will never forget you.

Best lawyer in Chicago Hal knows what he’s doing he takes care of everything and gets the best outcome for you he got my felony charges dismissed after trying to give me time to serve would recommend to represent you!

I can’t recommend Hal Garfinkel highly enough. From the very first consultation, he was professional, honest, and incredibly knowledgeable about the law and the court process. He took the time to explain everything in detail and always made sure I felt informed and supported every step of the way. Hal’s experience as a former prosecutor clearly shows in the courtroom—he’s confident, strategic, and always prepared. What stood out most was how responsive and compassionate he was during such a stressful time. He genuinely cared about my case and fought hard for the best possible outcome. If you’re looking for a criminal defense attorney who is experienced, dedicated, and truly has your back, Hal Garfinkel is the one to call.
