I hired James Todd Ringel to defend me against a Title 9 sexual assault allegation at Illinois State University. I was very scared by these allegations, and I'm just grateful to Todd for giving me the confidence and legal guidance to deliver me to a complete clearing of all charges. He was brilliant with the details of the case and proved the allegations were false in a very difficult to beat college Title 9 setting.

Todd and others at Johnson Law Group represented me in a complicated class-X felony case with the potential for decades of prison time. It's confusing and stressful to try to choose a lawyer when your life is on the line, but after doing as much research as I felt I could, I retained the services of Mr. Ringel and Johnson Law Group. It was one of the best decisions of my life. Mr. Ringel is a bulldog, but a brilliant one. He knows when to press during cross-examinations, and when to back off. He was fantastic during all facets of the case - being available for questions, representing me at status and evidentiary hearings, advising me as to how the case was progressing, and then during the trial he absolutely crushed every aspect. Jury selection was great, opening argument was strong, cross-examinations (as mentioned before) were conducted strongly but also without badgering the witnesses. He made sure all pertinent points were brought out to the jury's attention, and then slammed the door shut on the case with an impressive closing argument. Jury verdict of not guilty was delivered quickly. As the trial was progressing, I got several chances to look at Mr. Ringel's notes, and was pretty damn impressed by how prepared and ready he was. He had aspects of the case ready that I had either forgotten about or didn't realize were important, and considering I had lived through all this for a year that really surprised me. Todd legitimately cares about his clients and his reputation as a winner, and he's dedicated to continuing that. Mr. Ringel and Johnson Law Group aren't the cheapest attorneys in the area, but when your life is on the line, these are the people you want representing you. I consider every penny I paid money well spent, and I can't say enough great things about the way they took care of me.

Mr. Ringel is an excellent lawyer. My case lasted a very long time and he was by my side since day 1. He was very thorough, knowledgeable, honest and up front to me about everything that was going on throughout my case, and I always felt comfortable knowing he was working for me. He was always happy to speak to me about any questions or concerns that I had and always made me feel like he was doing his absolute best to make me happy in the situation. I always felt like he had my best interests at the forefront of his mind, and was with me until the very end and beyond. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer, and I was very fortunate to have found him, I would recommend him to anybody in need of a lawyer, the absolute vey best, and I can tell that he takes pride in his work and wants the very best for his clients.

Mr Ringel's presentation at the bench trial was impeccable. Although all the evidence had already been submitted ,Todd re- acquainted the judge with the entire case in a compelling appeal for leniency for a young man's bad judgment. Todd even handed several character witness letters to the judge as he spoke , effectively drawing the judge into the moment and focusing his argument in a dynamic way. After this, the judge talked for a very long time, obviously weighing his decision in an extremely careful manner. In the end ,the leniency we had sought was granted, with probation as the result. This case could easily have gone the other way. I believe Mr Ringel's skill and focus allowed the judge to see the young man facing him and not just the offense which had been committed.

I was wrongful accused in a sexual assault case at the University of Illinois. The campus police began aggressively investigating my case, making my life hell while doing it. The University also did their own investigation, but they had no rules and Did whatever they wanted. After my first interview with the police, which lasted 5 hours, my father and I contacted Todd Ringle for legal advice. During the phone calls Mr. Ringle told is all that we should expect and told us he already had a plan. His confidence almost brought me to tears, for I know felt I had a chance to clear my name. He was able to meet with me within a week. During out first interview he was relaxed and made me feel very comfortable while I told him what happened. The entire time he was encouraging. While I was still talking to him about the events his team began putting together a defense. After I ran through the events, Mr. Ringle told me how this progress will work, for both the criminal justice part and the University of Illinois part. Normally a criminal lawyer works only for the criminal aspect, but Mr. Ringle already had experience taking on the University and defending his clients. After the meeting Mr. Ringle went to work and insured I did not have to worry about what was going and and I could focus on my education. Mr. Ringle would consistently keep me updated with how the case was going. He also gave me his personal information and told me no matter what time it is I can call him. I have never felt safer. Through his amazing work he was able to get the prosecutor to drop the case. After he did this, he switched his focus to taking on University of Illinois. He walked me through the process and was able to get me through the trial process. At the end University of Illinois dropped the chsrges and I was cleared. Now at this point one would think your lawyer would part ways, but Mr. Ringle contacted me a few times after to making sure everything was still smooth. He never made me feel alone, or helpless. He was a blessing from God.

Todd fought for My Husband rights. My husband was charged with class x felonies carrying 9-40 and 12-60. Todd filed a motion to suppress all evidence! Todd motion was granted. He went the extra mile to fight for our family. Todd is a family man and it's all about business. I would highly recommend Mr. Ringel if you have any felony cases.
