You messed up but relief is nearby. You want an expert who will also listen to you, explain the situation and your options and put you in the best situation for a positive outcome. Martin is your guy. After you hire him when you are going through waves of freaking out you can come to Avvo and re-read the 100+ positive comments (I've read them all for comfort 8 times by now) and know you've done all you can to help your situation. I put myself in a tough situation. I went out for a few drinks, nothing egregious but when I was leaving a parking lot I goosed it around a corner and squeeled my tires. I was pulled over and declined to talk the the officers about where I was that evening or participate in any sobriety tests. The prosecutors for DUI trials in Lake county are farmed out to a private firm and the state's firm sent their #1 top guy. Martin got us a Not Guilty on DUI and Reckless driving, and a modest fine and court supervision for squealing tires. Martin went head-to-head with the state's top dui prosecutor and left him noticeably pissed while we walked out with a huge W. You'll be comforted by his understanding of Lake county courts and procedures. He will listen to you. We worked together to craft a defense and no point anything that I thought important was left unconsidered. Even though my case hit a complication and dragged on a bit his flat rate fees were clear fair. Quite honestly they were about 75% of what I expected and was willing to pay for a proven winner. He's super busy but will always make time for you. Most importantly, he's a genuinely good guy. There's a reason for Martin's top rating. Do yourself a favor and pick the best. Get the free consult and make your own choice. It's hard to put a price in peace of mind. If you've read this, you've been informed. Unless you have another proven rockstar at your disposal to consider I strongly advise you to go with Martin.
Mr. LaScola was professional from the first moment that I reached out to him. He made efforts to keep me informed of all of the steps that he took to make sure that my case was handled in the best way. At no point did he leave room for doubt that I had made a mistake in retaining his services.
Very professional attorney. He educated me about my case and worked to get it dismissed.
Now and days people don't realize how hard it is to beat a speeding ticket. It can be harder than beating a criminal misdemeanor case and in my philosophy money comes and goes but convictions come and stay! Mr. LaScola was immediately seen as a well respected attorney, that stood out ahead of other attorneys in our court session which was my first time experience with him. He listens to you and gives you that feeling that he actually wants the best for you! The police officer showed up in my case but, he negotiated the best offer for a speeding ticket that I received going 15mph over with the prosecutor and it was not a bad offer. He gave me a clear elaboration of the full nine yards on what if i accepted the plea offer, from the prosecutor. But as good as the offer seemed to me. I felt that I had a winning lottery ticket with Mr. LaScola and he actually listened and took on my risky case to trail and beat my slim odds chance with a judgement of NOT GUILTY!!!
Martin was there for me and truly believed me after watching the DUI arrest video, proved that the arresting officer did not have enough evidence to make my life a living hell and major unconvincing of my entire life. If you decide to drink in the burbs just get a hotel, because of this inconvenience of being pulled over and rightfully not convicted cost me almost $10,000. It if you do find yourself in this sort of a predicament call Martin. I have experience in this arena and Martin is the best. Trust me...and you really should..worth the price of addmission my friend.
Martin helped me with my DUI case and was very successful at it ! If you or someone you know needs a lawyer, Martin is the man to go to. DUI's can be stressful and terrifying but Martin handled everything great! Truly is the best lawyer around! He also removed my suspension I had with total ease and the communication was fantastic! We always stayed in touch. Would not think twice on hiring Martin. I am a true satisfied client with no regrets at ALL in hiring him as my attorney.
I found Martin online on a Sunday night, 2 days before the court date. He contacted me within 2 hours of my VM, on a Sunday night to walk through the process with me. He and his wife were very transparent with me and told me all the steps in the process and what I can expect from the court. He accompanied me and my dad to court, he was familiar with the judge and was very efficient with our time, and got the Case dismissed without any issues. Since this was our first time, I had lots of questions about the process and what to expect, he and his wife were so pleasant and always answered my questions immediately, and always thorough with follow ups. I felt like I always had their undivided attention and I can ask any questions and they always had answers. I spoke with several attorneys on Sunday night, I felt Martin and Anna were most pleasant and most knowledgeable to the case and crime, and most understanding the case process with cook county. I would definitely recommend them to anyone that is looking for Criminal Defense attorney, you can’t go wrong with them!
I have no idea where to even to start. I had previously been working with another lawyer and all he did was sat on my case and never did nothing. He didint even show up half the time. I was lost and worried about my driving privileges being revoked for as long as 5 years since this was my second offense in a matter of 2years. Mr. Lascola reviewed my case and discuss our best options. He immediately recind the summary suspension and got me to drive temporarily until the case closed. It was pretty cool how he made the state attorney look like he had no idea what he was doing. I got no jail time and is able to drive again. His price is firm and very reasonable. He worked with me on payments and was always so attentive. He is knowledgeable and actually cares for his clients. Thank you sir.
We hired attorney LaScola for my husband's DUI case. A CDL DUI. Mr. LaScola was recommended to us by a fried. The best recommendation we have ever had. At our first meeting, he was highly professional, got familiar with the case and explained to us in details all the possible outcomes. We saw the passion in his eyes when he was talking about all the regulations and procedures, we could see he loves what he does and last, but not least we noticed he is very knowledgeable. From that point on, he was fully dedicated to our case, kept updating us on every move he did and how it went. He never misled us! He said it would be very, very difficult, especially with a CDL, but he would give his best. And he simply did it! He won the case and achieved the desired results, nothing less! Perseverance, determination, hard work and erudition - the praises will be not enough to express our gratitude, nor will be 5 starts, a 100 at least. 3 words - simply the best! Extremely recommended!
I was in an accident 1/26/19, no witnesses or other people involved. I refused medical treatment (despite my concussion), and the breathalyzer (I wasn’t drunk, but had few beers couple hours before driving). To my surprise they charged me with a first time DUI; which means a license suspension of 1 year, and driving under the influence charge/failure to slow down ticket. For me, these charges felt like a dark black cloud hovering over me, as I constantly had to go to court. I understand as well as you, the reader, that you need good consult to get through these dark times. I sought out Martin based off: the reviews, his straightforwardness and experience. Martin had a pretty high success rate with DUI cases. I consulted with 3 other lawyers, but Martin was the only one who told me I had a 50/50 chance of winning. Him telling me that showed he wasn’t trying to make a quick buck but rather thinking on how to win my case. He told it as it is, because understanding the full scope of the consequences is vital in not making more mistakes. Martin has had experience as a prosecutor, which means he knows how “the other side” thinks in the courtroom. Honestly, this factor alone is enough to hire any lawyer. His experience really showed in how he presented evidence, and went about the case. Martin found a technical mistake in the ticket to suspend my license, because of this and his smooth talking (judge was 50/50 but Martin said something before she made a decision) I won my license back. Martin then said to lengthen the court trial so the judge and cop forget the facts of the case in general. When going to trial, Martin told me to waive the jury trial so that the judge can focus solely on evidence provided. The only evidence the cop had was I was in an accident, my breathe smelled and eyes were glossy. I provided Martin with pictures of the car damage and written statement of what actually happened in the accident. Martin used this to completely destroyed the cop in the cross examination. Martin made the cop look like he didn’t do his job (which the cop honestly didn’t) or know anything about the true nature of the accident and my concussion. We beat the DUI charge as well. Every case is different, and needs a special solution. Martin is smart, straightforward, and has the experience to find the unique solution you need.
