Have you been pulled over for a DUI, DWI, or another Traffic Violation, if so, Call now!

Don't just research on the Internet where information could be wrong or misleading!

Whether you have a traffic violation or have been arrested for DUI/DWI, you should know your rights and the potential outcomes.

For DUI or DWI, you absolutely can and should fight your charges and impending suspensions! Whether you have been charged in the city of Chicago of within a Chicago suburb, we can help you from the moment you've been arrested.

It is in your best interest to hire a lawyer as soon as you are released so that we can immediately begin fighting your case. Individuals who are suspected of driving while impaired are subject to law enforcement pulling them over to the side of the road and administering field sobriety tests. If a driver shows clues of impairment, then officers can make an arrest and charge the driver with a DUI. Then, if the driver has a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or higher, they will be charged with a second DUI. DUI penalties can be very harsh and can include license suspensions and jail time. The laws are strict and the penalties may be even more severe when victims are injured or killed as a result of the intoxicated driver's actions.

A professional that can mount a compelling defense is necessary when facing a drunk driving charge, and we are just the ones that can help!

Joan is awesome, I had traffic ticket for which I was asked to attend the court, after searching for attorneys in the area, opted for Joann seeing Steller reviews and I am glad I made the decision. Joann kept me informed throughout the process explained me the best / worst case scenario and eventually … More got the case dismissed with no fine. Cant thank and recommend Joann enough. If you're looking for an honest attorney for traffic violation(s) look no further and call Joann.

Joann was great! I got a misdemeanor speeding ticket. She assessed the situation and came up with a plan. In court she exercised the plan working out the details with the prosecutor before the trial. Got my offense lowered from a misdemeanor.
She was very professional informing me of what was going … More to happen. She even stayed with me until the fine was paid, surprised she did that. Very satisfied with her and would strongly recommend her if you are ever in need of legal representation.

First I would like to start off that I had a traffic ticket and this was the first time I ever had to contact an attorney. I had a list of 20+ attorneys that I called and got only three who returned calls/texts. Joann was one of them and was by far, leaps and bounds ahead of the others I had contacted … More in terms of communication. Her superb communication and professionalism put my mind at ease during this whole process.
My case had a couple moving parts going into it. The ticket could potentially effect my future livelihood/employment, the type of ticket I received was a bit confusing for the area I had been pulled over, and the fines/potential license suspension had me worried. It genuinely felt like she cared about my case and worked diligently for my case to arrive at a good conclusion for me.
I put my trust into her for getting the best she can for me and I firmly believe that if I had hired any other attorney it would have not ended as favorably as it did. Joann worked hard and got the ticket dropped. I feel I must reiterate, I firmly believe that in that situation no one else would have gotten the ticket dropped.
Joann is professional, knowledgeable, and does an excellent job of explaining what possible outcomes are ahead. I 100% recommend Joann and if I ever have any traffic ticket troubles again, I will for sure hire her again.

Background on my case: I received my second DUI in 2007. My license was revoked. Over the past 15 years, I applied to receive driving relief four times and got denied each time. I also moved out of the state of Illinois. It wasn't super urgent to get my license since I worked from home but it was … More a nice to have. Now that I have my first child on my way, I had to get more serious about getting a license. That is where Joann Harms came into the picture.
She took the time to learn my case. She also spent a lot of time on getting me prepared. She was amazing to work with. I only needed to apply for a formal hearing once with Joann as my attorney (fifth time overall) and I finally got the driving relief that I so desperately needed.
My biggest fear was not being able to drive my wife home from the hospital after my daughter is born in April. This is now possible thanks to Joann. Thank you Joann for taking the time and effort in helping me get the driving relief. Very much appreciated! 5/5 stars and highly recommended.

Can't recommend Joann enough. She did an excellent job all around with my sons speeding ticket. Very responsive, knowledgeable, honest, and effective. Explained everything in simple and straightforward terms, which was greatly appreciated. Always returned my calls and kept me updated every step … More of the way. Joann seriously sets the standard for excellence in the field, can't thank her enough for her legal guidance. Hope I won't get any tickets again but if I do need a traffic attorney again, Joann will be the first person to call .We also got the results we had hoped for.
