I got a traffic ticket for driving 26-34 mph over limit and was required to show up on court in Kankakee. I found Mr. Lawson on Avvo.com and immediately hired him after a brief consultation. I did what he advises me to do and the fine was reduced to a minimum. He took good care of me on the court day. He is trustable and definitely recommendable.

I had a criminal protection order with my daughter on it. He seen how I was getting treated an offered to help. He did more than help. He got the whole order vacated. I can’t express how much joy I feel. Now I’m about to fight for right to see my baby girl. Thank you Ben so much for going so hard. Much respect.

I was charged with a Class B misdemeanor case in Kankakee. I found Mr.Lawson through Avvo.com and sent him a message after which he contacted me immediately. Sadly, due to being out of town, my case was handled by Mr.O'Brien, Mr.Lawson's partner, but my fine was reduced to a minimum and the charges were dropped after I did a panel as advised by Mr.Lawson. He delivered everything he promised that he would and I would definitely hire him again if I ever need a lawyer.

Very happy with the outcome of my case, Ben got my misdemeanor battery charge dismissed with altervantives such as an online class session and some community service! Kept me at ease through the whole process as well.
