About

I was born in Carbondale, IL, but grew up in a small town in southwestern Wyoming.  After attending the University of Wyoming, I returned to Illinois for law school at the University of Illinois Urbana/Champaign, where I graduated in 2004.   Since graduating from law school, I have spent the majority of my career in criminal, traffic and DUI courts, as prosecutor, defense attorney and public defender.  In my time at the Peoria County State's Attorney's Office I was a prosecutor in the misdemeanor court for two years, and in the five years prior to joining the law firm of Hall, Rustom & Fritz, I was the chief DUI and traffic prosecutor in Peoria County.   While in Peoria, I was reponsible for the prosecution of 600-700 DUIs per year and over 30,000 traffic tickets.  Many of the cases I prosecuted were felony DUI and felony driving while license revoked cases.  I tried many cases before juries while in the State's Attorney's Office, and, in fact, in the last four years of my time in that office I did not lose a single trial in front of a jury. I have the knowledge of the law and trial experience to help with your criminal, DUI or traffic needs.  I take great pride in being able to help people that have found themselves in bad situations and will work hard to get you the outcome that you deserve.

Even though I paid for his service I still feel like I owe Chris. I was fighting a losing 2nd DUI battle that was being drawn out for over a year due to the circumstances of my case. Chris and Jeff Hall worked on my case but Chris was the guy I would see at court and push my case. Im probably was not the best to work with but the entire time he was real nice and explained everything that was going on. On his final push ( over multiple court dates), do or die for me, Chris went to bat for me and my case ended with the best possible outcome I could get next to dropping the case. Because of his work a year of stress and worry is gone and Im able to be me again. Based on many different moving parts not everyones outcome can be the same, but for me on this day it was a miracle. Chris will do his best to help you, Highly recommend.

Chris was amazing throughout my court experience. Very easily contacted, prompt responces to all of my questions. He took all of the hassle and worry off of me and he got me the results i wanted. Definitely recommended! I had to show up to minimal court dates, he made everything so simple and hassle free!

I rarely write reviews but feel this was necessary for how amazing Christopher Leasor was in dealing with my DUI. First, let me say dont be in position to have to use Jeff Hall of Chris, but if you are:( these are the guys to use. Its an incredible awful process where anything done incorrectly could damage your driving record, or potentially your criminal record.....So you really want to get it all right. Jeff and Chris were incredibly easy to deal with and always available to discuss the case via email or phone calls. Also very easy to work with...don't make you feel like a POS or speak in lawyer jargon. Thanks for the helps guys.

I was initially charged with a class B misdemeanor for speeding (85 in a 55). Mr. Leasor was able to knock down the charges to a petty offense and handled the case on my behalf as I had moved to Texas before its conclusion. I appreciated the thorough explanations of each step of the process which made me feel much more comfortable about the situation.

Attorney Leasor analyzed my Dui Case and broke it down piece by piece what was going to happen how it was going to happen and all the little steps in between. He wasvery easy to talk to and very understanding of a busy schedule. I am now back on my feet and ready to get on with my life without the Dui being on my record.

My experience with Chris was somewhat brief, but he was the attorney representing me in a court case for misdemeanor aggravated speeding (118 in 55). He was to the point and took time to explain every step of the process. His attitude took my anxiety from a 10 to a 2 in the courthouse and his professionalism and experience negotiated a court supervision deal and no conviction. Chris is the man.

Even though their office is extremely busy Christopher got my appeal settled in less than a week. I was almost facing jail time for faliure to appear, when I learnt of this i contacted him and the warrant was pulled as soon as he got all the info he needed. Will definately recommend him to anyone for anything. He's like a magician when it comes to the courts.

Chris was great from first contact until final resolution of the ticket. He worked diligently to come to the best possible outcome in my case. I was referred to Chris and could not have asked for better representation. Thank you!!

Chris was very professional, patiently heard what I had gone through, explained to me how things will pan out and clearly showed me the best and worst case scenarios. He was very knowledgable in his legal advice. He was also very prompt in responding to my calls and emails. For the kind of services he provides, his fee is very nominal.

I contacted Chris through his firm (Hall Rustom and Fritz) when I got into some trouble that was all a misunderstanding. I was arrested, had to bond out, and from there, I was in the dark. I had no clue the process or what I was facing. I met with Chris and he was knowledgable, friendly and easy to talk to. After a few court appearances I followed his instructions and eventually the prosecutor dismissed the case against me. Not only did I save money on fines, i did not have to be on any probation or anything. I then hired Chris to expunge my arrest and that was signed by the judge a couple weeks ago. all that I was scared about was for nothing because I hired Chris and his law firm.
