Mike McMahon is a exceptional Attorney, very professional and reliable. Answered all my questions, I was at a low-point in my life over my case ,thought all was lost, he told me not to worry that he would handle my DUI and he did. I highly recommend him.
Michael McMahon is the best criminal defense lawyer you can hire in IL/Chicago area. He can deliver unbelievable outcome, beyond what you can expect! I highly recommend him, and well deserved to get 5 star rating! He knows how to get the case dismissed, if not he is very capable of getting you the best outcome possible. He was a prosecutor and he knows how to deal with the pressure tactics from other prosecutors and I was amazed by his assurance, asked me to have patience and I followed his advise and he attained more than what he promised to me! He is indeed a busy lawyer, so you have to work with him patiently to get the best result, not a good idea to hurry up, if he advised you to be patient and delays things for good! Please follow his guidance and advise, I can assure you, he will get you the best possible result. 👌👌👌
Mike is professional and personable. He has beat or helped me get the best sentencing for any case I have hired him for. I have two cases dismissed and a felony that got knocked down to a misdemeanor solely because of Mike. His receptionist/assistant is extremely kind and responds timely. I would feel confident referring McMahon law offices to anyone for any case.
