Reviews
"Steve Fagan was very professional and organized. In a stressful situation, it is of the greatest importance to feel comfortable and confident in your lawyer. He is extremely experienced, kind and made me feel at ease when going through my case. His staff was also responsive and efficient. My outcome was successful, thanks to Fagan and Associates."
"Most ordinary people when faced with an ordeal such as this, feel overwhelmed, insecure, and fearful of a legal process that is already stacked against them. People feel they will be labeled for life as a Drunk or Looser as the state run ads mention. I know for myself, I also felt I let a lot of people down such as my family, friends, employer and the least of which myself.
I was a mess when I walked into Steven’s office, and it was the way he treated me from our first meeting that made all the difference in the world. He was positive, considerate, and actually cared about me as a person, and not just the legal case. Win or lose I didn’t really matter to the system, but as Steve’s client I mattered to him, and that made all the difference. So Thank You Steven, not just for everything you did for my case, but most importantly not making me feel less then. Theres no one I would rather have handle my case."
"I was amazed at Steven's professionalism, knowledge and determination. He is well informed about DUI law and will fight for you and your rights. I was an out of town driver that got pulled over for speeding and running a red light. Eventually the officer arrested me and charged me with DUI. After several months and a few court appearances we went to trial and won. No DUI, no court supervision. I would recommend him and his law firm to anyone in IL."
"Steven did a wonderful job with my difficult case. Though I could have been in severe trouble, he did an excellent job in getting me not only through the ordeal, but with a really good outcome, all things considered. His fee is higher than other laywers, but I believe that you get what you pay for, especially in an attorney. I don't think my outcome would have been nearly as positive with another attorney. Hope I never have to, but would use him again in a moment."
"I was very pleased with Mr. Fagan's work on my behalf. He is always approachable by phone, email, and in person and answered any and all questions I had on a timely basis with the information I needed. His knowledge of the court system and prosecutors was an invaluable aid and helped me greatly in the best possible resolution of my case."
"Steve's confidence and knowledgability made me feel much more comfortable and at ease and confident in his ability to represent me and advise me accurately of my options. Although I did not get the outcome I was looking for, Steve did all he could under the circumstances and I would be glad to recommend him in the future."
"I had a last minute legal issue with my son and a car accident. It had to be resolved quickly. Mr Fagan took my call immediately and was able to be at the court appearance at very shrt notice. He was able to handle the case extremely well, and it was dismised in minutes. I hope not to ever be in this situation again, but if I am, it is good to know that Mr. Fagan will be there. I was extremely happy and relived with his expertise."
"This guy is an honest attorney !!! fixed fees and honest billing also he handled my multiple cases very well...personal service for DUI DWI Also he knows his way around the courtroom a +++ i would use him again in a heartbeat!!!"
"Steve was a real human being and what impressed me the most was his devotion to his client vs monetary value of his client. He never talked down to me, we were humans first at the same level then we were client/ lawyer. True professional and good man thanks Steve I will always remember you fondly."
"Steve was very knowledgeable and very patient as well as he was great at keeping me informed as to what was going on at all times with both of my cases and the outcome on both was great. I surely hope that I don't need him for this kind of thing again but if I did he would be the first call."
