Steven is honest & hard-working and his knowledge of the law is superior.A pleasure to work with no matter how complicated the situation. I was lucky enough to work with Steven. I always found him to be looking for ways to do the best results for his clients.Steven always responded quickly and used his detailed knowledge of the law to provide service to his clients. His superb client service is evidenced by the number of both his repeat and referral clients (the ultimate compliment to a businessman). I myself, have referred many friends to him as I know he will give them a honest and educated response or solution to their situation. Steves "can do" attitude coupled with his high integrity & industry knowledge is a winning combination!

I am a former client who was facing decades in prison for a criminal charge sexual assault 3 counts. I am here to tell you Steven Fagan saved my life. I had went through 3 lawyers before finding Steve. I went online searching for the best attorneys in Illinois and found Steve. After reading the reviews online I knew he practiced dui and criminal law, but is superb in dui. I figured if he's that smart in dui, he would also be smart in criminal cases to. My theory was right he is a smart attorney and works on behalf of his clients. The case came down to forensic science. Well Steve learned everything he could about DNA in a very short period of time, because the case was already set for trial when he pick up the case. He brought in the best expert witness to testify on my behalf. He cross examined the states attorney expert witness challenging every hole in their case. He was able to do this by spending hours of learning how DNA works. This case was semi - high profile case. which was heard by a jury. The states attorney office brought in one of their best special prosecutor. I'm here to tell you Steve is one of those lawyers you can trust will defend you no matter what the charge is, and will give a 100% effort. I was found not guilty by a jury on all 3 counts. I also faced a DUI which was heard by a judge. Steve knew more about DUI stops and the police training in dealing with DUI stops than the police who testified against me. The DUI was dismissed. Steve is one of a kind attorney he saved my life and will save yours if it's possible. THUMBS UP, AND I GIVE HIM 5 STARS AND MORE. THANKS STEVE

Steven handled my bench trial on a DUI arrest. He was very effective in navigating the chaotic and slow Cook County circuit court. This took repeated dates -- prosecution took time to turn over discovery, the police officer did not show up for two dates. During this time, I was well-informed of what was likely to happen, what my options were, how long this is likely to take. I also felt protected, which is a lot to say, for me. During the trial itself, Steven was very effective. He came prepared with issues with reports and testimony that resulted in a verdict of not guilty, in spite of a tricky situation where the deck felt stacked against me. He was clearly in control and experienced in the courtroom. There is no way I could have navigated this myself, so I am perfectly satisfied.

Steve, Joe, Jeffrey, Al and the rest of the team are all great people. If you have come across his profile here on Avvo don't look any further. He will provide you with the best service an attorney ever could plus more. He will fight all the way for you and will never give up until the best outcome can be obtained. I spent 18 months fighting my case and not once along the way did he ever make me lose faith. Great communication and support, emotionally and mentally. Let Steve and his team fight for you. You will know you have the best on your side.

I cannot say enough good things about Mr Fagan and his partner Mr Davis. Without going into too much detail about my case, I can say that I was facing a very grim outlook. Charged with a felony that is almost impossible to defend, these two gentlemen were the glue that kept me together and assured me they could help. They kept their promise. My charges were dismissed completely. The fee was very fair. They kept in contact with me throughout my ordeal. Showed up to court on time. True professionals. I have used other attorneys in the past and quite frankly wouldn't trust one at all. These guys are the exception. Not just because my case was dismissed but because they honestly cared about their client. I strongly recommend this firm!

I recently had to appear in court for a speeding violation. I meant to call Steve before my court date, but never had chance because I was busy with starting a new job an all. So the date came and I went to court solo. As I waiting for the courtroom to open I spotted Steve walking in. As he was walking by I said hello, and Steve inquired about are business at the courthouse, which we told him we were for the speeding ticket. Without hesitation he insisted on helping me out with my ticket, getting supervision and lowering the fine on the ticket. I would absolutely give my recommendation for using Steve as a your lawyer. His willingness to help his clients out, and going above and beyond for them is unparalleled to any others!

Just got out of court. I could not be more pleased. Steven Fagan was able to get me deferred prosecution on a Retail Theft charge. This means that I will need to complete a 4 hour Theft Deterrent Class. Once I successfully complete the class, my charge will be dismissed, and I can get it expunged. I was so stressed about this case that I had problems sleeping and lost my appetite. In less than a month, I ended up losing over 10 pounds. I was so worried because this was my second arrest for Retail Theft, and I feared getting a conviction on my record. I am so thankful for Steven's knowledge, expertise, and familiarity with the court system. He was friendly with the court staff, as well as the Judge who seemed to know his father quite well. Although I'm sure I tested Steven's patience in preparation for my case, he kept reassuring me and helped me keep my sanity throughout the process. If you have a criminal case against you, talk to Steven Fagan about it. You will not find a finer attorney in Illinois.

Steve knows the law! He is not afraid of the judge. He fought for my rights on a dui case all my charges were dropped! They overextended me a plea deal but Steve and his partners knew I could beat it so they did not take the deal! They work there buts off for your rights and not just take your money! I was going to lose every this.g but with the help of Steve and his partners I lost nothing!
