About

I turn major roadblocks into minor speed bumps by providing aggressive representation with great results. This helps you move on with your life by being able to put your case behind you. I do this by providing:• The right focus: I begin every case by focusing on what it will take to win, and then backing it up with action. I am concerned with more than just the pending case, and pride myself on thinking about where your life will be years from now.  • The right experience: With more than 10 years of experience, I have tried numerous cases to judges and juries alike, and have avoided countless years in prison/jail for my clients. Once a case has ended, I have cleared up people's criminal histories, and gotten people back on the road. My success speaks for itself, and • The right knowledge: being licensed in more than one state, in federal court, and before the U.S. Supreme Court means I have the education, the background, and the familiarity with the law that you need. I put that knowledge to work for my clients, and use it to my clients' advantage.• The right information: You will always be kept up-to-date, and always fully understand everything about your case. Although the law is complex, speaking with me is not, and you will no longer be confused with or about anything.• Flexibility on time and cost: I pride myself on being competitive both in and out of the courtroom. That means being available after hours for my clients and being competitive on cost. I always seek to accommodate my clients' schedules, always make hiring me easy, and always work with people to make hiring me possible. • Being available: feel free to give me a call directly at (309) 565-8825, by e-mailing me at [email protected], or by contacting me through Twitter or Facebook.

I spoke with a number of lawyers in Bloomington. Brendan was by far the best. He was very good dealing with the case itself. But, more than that, the time he took to careful explain the situation and answer my questions provided hope in an otherwise challenging time. Highly recommend!

Brendan is everything you could hope for in a lawyer. He is willing to answer any questions, never judgmental, and truly does work for his clients. I could not be happier with the service and attention I received from Brendon and his firm. He really did make the process easy to understand and followed through on everything he said he was going to do for me. I can honestly say I would have still given him a glowing review even if the case hadn't worked out in my favor. Lawyers get a bad rap but Brendan couldn't be further from the stereotype.

Brendan represented me in a case that was a huge deal to me..  I was initially very embarrassed by the situation I found myself in but Brendan made me feel very much at ease and told me everything would be OK.  I knew right away that I had a real fighter in my corner.  Not only did he truly care about my case but he got my case dismissed almost immediately! He was truly worth every penny I paid him and then some.  I have had some bad experiences with other lawyers in the past but Brendan gave me faith in the legal system again and is a real advocate for his clients.. When he told me he had my back, I know he meant it.. Hopefully I never need to hire a lawyer again but if I do, Brendan is the man!!

Brendan helped get my life back on track. We accomplished all of our goals in not only one case but both of my case’s. If it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t have had the same outcome. Brendan worked so hard on my case because he knew what kind of person i am. So I’m truly thankful.

My son was in need of a competent attorney to handle his driver's license reinstatement and he found that in Brendan. He is very knowledgeable and skilled in navigating the maze of pathways necessary for reinstatement and he completed it in a timely manner. I am impressed and very satisfied with the results. I wholeheartedly recommend Brendan as your go-to attorney for you driver's license reinstatement.

This guy did a great job handling my case from start to finish and I would certainly use him again if I ever get charged with anything in the future

Went to several attorneys for consultation about my class 3 felony charge. All sounded the same, that they would take money and plea out. Luckily found Brendan and he was obviously different. From the start showed his passion for the law and for wrongfully accused defendants. Was very clear about his strategy and explained it so that I understood and even took time to make sure I was comfortable every step of the process. After all said and done my class 3 felony was knocked down to a class a misdemeanor. I can not thank this man enough and would strongly encourage anyone in need of a defense to stop shoping attorneys and call him. Thank you again Brendan.

My son was charged with a Class X, so he would have been required to go to prison for a minimum of 6 years even though he had never been in trouble before! Brendan answered all of our questions, and stayed on top of the case the entire time. He got the state to agree to a misdemeanor because of his work on the case!

Brendan Bukalski continued to fight for me even after I had given up fighting for myself. Legal challenges are terrifying to a first-timer and I am grateful that the Johnson Law Group had my back every step of the way. Brendan is an honorable man who “fights the good fight” with unrelenting diplomacy, knowledge and integrity. His respect for law and justice restored my faith in the legal system. Johnson Law Group didn’t promise the best possible outcome, but they certainly DELIVERED it.

Being charged with a felony at a young age is terrifying and Mr. Bukalski had my back the entire way through it. He always kept close contact with me and kept me up to date with anything that happened with my case. He was very professional and was able to get me the best case scenario in the end. I could not be more thankful for him and his help through this. 10/10
