Attorney Uche won a $1.18 million jury verdict for my family after a Chicago police officer shot and killed a relative of mine. The Chicago police justified the shooting by claiming that my relative had a gun and pointed the gun at the police officer who shot and killed him. We took my relative's case to several prominent attorneys who rejected it and told us that the police would win because there were several other police officers backing up the officer who had shot and killed my relative. Also, according to these attorneys, the fact that a gun was found on scene made the evidence appear strong against my relative. We had largely given up hope until a friend of the family recommended attorney Uche. Attorney Uche took on the case right away and promised us that justice was on our side. He never once believed that my relative had a gun and instead believed that the gun was planted. Attorney Uche took the case to trial and using an expert witness, demonstrated to the jury that my relative could not have been pointing a gun because he was shot twice in the back. Attorney Uche also used a fingerprint and DNA expert to show that the gun had been planted by the police. I am super grateful to attorney Uche for what he did for my family and for seeking justice for my dead 22 year-old relative whose life was senselessly cut short.

I hired attorney Nenye E. Uche to file a police brutality lawsuit against the Chicago police department. The case stemmed from what I believed to be a false arrest that later led to one of the numerous police officers violently choking me unconscious. My criminal attorney nearly messed things up for me when he plead me guilty to the charges; without even defending me. However, Attorney Uche was super aggressive and using some technicalities was able to convince the court that my prior plea was irrelevant to my lawsuit. In a matter of months, the City of Chicago settled my police brutality federal lawsuit for a large amount, certainly larger than I expected. BEST LAWYER EVER!

AWESOME ATTORNEY! Critical thinker, strategic, and passionate. Attorney Uche represented me when a retiring judge found my son (no priors or criminal background, and college student) guilty on a felony charge. NO evidence against my son, just GUILTY! Attorney Uche threatened the judge with an appeal, so the judge agreed to retry the case. Over time, Mr. Uche was able to get the prosecutors to agree to temporary probation with NO jail time with all court fees and fines paid. NICE JOB!

Roughly two years ago, I made some poor judgements and got in trouble with the law. Without going into details about my case, needless to say, I thought everything I had worked for were going to get stripped away from me. I was panicking. A friend of mine referred me to Uche. During our first meeting, he promised me he would get me my life back. I am pleased to say he kept his promises. Throughout the whole process, he kept giving reassurance. All I had to do was be patient. Honestly, you saved my life Uche. I can not thank you enough.

There is nothing like having a good lawyer to help you with a case you know was all lies. Today September 30, 2019 @9:30am. My Lawyer Nenye Uche beat my DUI/Fleeing and Eluding/No Insurance Charges and saved my CDLs!! The reason I was charged with Dui is because I was being shot at. The police seen me speeding and pulled me over. I informed them of the shooting. But unfortunately they were NOT concerned about the shooting. They were ONLY concern about the smell of alcohol on my friend. Even through the shock I still cooperated, took breathalyzer test and whatever else these cops was throwing at me. I knew my case was built on lies and honestly I didn't know how I was going to beat this. I fired my first lawyer because I believed he didn't take my case serious. But Nenye did! He broke my case down piece by piece. He discovered the officers heard about my shooting being called in the same time they were arresting me. He even caught the officer up in that lie in court today. Omg this guy was on fire in that court room. I am truly grateful to have a lawyer like him.

Atty. Uche is an excellent lawyer. He got my DUI dismissed and got it reduced to reckless driving. I got my license back and got my job back because of his help and guidance through the process. It was a long process and it wasn’t easy but Atty. Uche always has your back and I couldn’t thank him enough for his service. If you need a DUI lawyer call Uche!

13 hours ago I will get straight to it because there’s no other way. I had a felony case and I was facing a minimum of 1-3yrs in prison. That gave me major anxiety for months. My friend gave me Uche’s number and the rest is history. He got me off at the preliminary stages, by that I mean the second day of court. My mind was blown. It was brilliant. All I can say is if you cherish your freedom, get a lawyer who cares about your case and will show up on time. You can’t go wrong with Uche. Thank you so much and this comes from a really deep place in my heart.
