Testimonials

“I am so thankful for the service I received from Mr. Harvatin and his staff. Through I was fully reinstated after several years without his driving privileges. Thank you so much!”

“You have not only given me my life back, you have given my parents their lives back. Thank you so very much. On January 16th I was issued my driver’s license. It’s been a long 9 years. Now, because of you I can be hired for the career I’ve been working so hard for. Thank you.”

“From first contact to final resolution, every step went according to the sequence and time frame laid out by Ted at the initial consultation. Throughout the process it was evident that Ted knows the ins and outs of proceedings with the Secretary of State’s Office. Also evident was the respect that SOS officers have for Ted – a plus for clients.”

“Unfortunately I’ve had to employ the services of quite a few attorneys in my life and I had my best experience with Ted.”

“My experience with Harvatin Law Offices has been wonderful! My driving privileges were taken 12 years ago. After being represented by Ted Harvatin, my license has been reinstated. Thank Ted!”

“My expectations were surpassed! The staff was helpful and Mr. Harvatin was talented and quite effective. The time line was much quicker than I had hoped.”

“Very awesome experience, Harvatin was able to set clear expectations for me during the hearing. I wish I would have hired Mr. Harvatin for my first hearing!”

“Harvatin Law Office and Staff are very knowledgeable and efficient. Very professional. I had a good experience with the firm. I could not have navigated myself through the State’s procedures without Harvatin Law.”

“Well worth the money! Ted was professional and the staff was very helpful.”

“I just wanted to thank you for all your help with me getting my RDP on the 1st hearing considering it was my 2nd DUI in Illinois!! I couldn’t have had the same result without your help. I would recommend your services in a heartbeat! Thanks again.”

“I had 6 dui’s, I didn’t think I would ever get it back (driver’s lic) … Mr. Harvatin had it done on the first try … awesome!!!! Why waste time & money, thank you Ted and office Team!”

“I want to thank you for helping me get my driver privileges back. I just received my license today. I also wanted to thank you for helping me face this situation with honesty. There are a lot of lawyers who would tell me to lie to the SOS about my drinking habit and troubles with the law. I not only wanted to thank you for your honesty, but to thank you for aiding me in the abstinence from alcohol. I also wanted to let you know that I really feel good about the way my life has been going since I stopped drinking in Jan. 2008. Keep up the good work Ted. I know your law firm had a hand in helping me to quit drinking and moving on from this situation. If I would have used a dishonest lawyer and not done things correctly, I would probably still be drinking.”

“They handled everything, they leave no stone unturned, after two unsuccessful attempts to get my license back on my own, I knew I was gonna need someone to help me meet and understand all the requirements the State of Illinois needed. I couldn’t believe when I actually got my license back on the first try with Mr. Harvatin. I can’t thank him enough!!!”

“After 2 DUI’s Ted got my license back after the first formal hearing. I would NOT recommend ANYONE attending a formal hearing without his help. The knowledge and experience he contributes WILL make the difference! Now, looking back, there is NO way I would have been able to have been granted full reinstatement without Ted’s assistance. Less than a month after the hearing I was legally driving again.”

“Very friendly with myself and family. Extremely helpful with navigating the courts and their regulations. Mr. Harvatin made the process painless and easy. Do I believe I received good value for my money? Yes, Bail – $100, DUI – $1,200, Alcohol classes – $800, having Ted Harvatin Law get my license back after 8 years, PRICELESS!”

“I found that Ted and his associates were always on top of anything that the legal system would throw at them. I believe Ted’s team is worth every cent I paid to them and much more! I would recommend Ted’s team to anybody who could comprehend what a challenge they would be up against in getting their driving privileges reinstated with the Secretary of State in Illinois.”

“The professionalism in which the Harvatin Law Office handled my case led to results which transcended my expectations. In addition to being an educational process, the speed in which my legal matters were concluded was very impressive. I believe the value received from the Harvatin Law Office could not be matched. I highly recommend Harvatin Law Offices to anyone in Illinois who is in the need of solid legal advice and/or representation.”

“My experience with your office was fantastic. Your experience, service and professionalism exceeded my expectations and allayed alot of my anxiety during the process. Without a doubt your service is a terrific value. I would recommend Mr. Harvatin’s services very enthusiastically to anyone embarking on their journey of reinstating their license. I am holding an AZ driver’s license today!”

“Excellent value. I paid $2,000 to another lawyer to handle my legal problems initially and all that lawyer did was delay my trial and cost me 11 months of driving privileges. I feel like that money was wasted when I now realize that I could have received better representation for less.”

“That is fantastic news! Thank you so much for everything: giving me the heads up on the good news, cracking a joke or two in the hearing to lighten the mood (that made everything a little less nerve racking), etc. I am definitely happy with my attorney decision.”

“Thank you so much for your help these past 2 years … Firstly, with assisting in getting the Restricted Driving Permit and now (fingers crossed) my full reinstatement. You have been a very warm and kind figure to me in this huge mess I made 5 years ago. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to represent me and for that I am truly thankful. I hope you never hear my name again.”

“Didn’t think I had a chance and got my permit the first time. Went back 10 months later and got full reinstatement. I didn’t think I had a shot but Mr. Harvatin helped me out a lot and I think he did a wonderful job. Thank-you – Worth every penny.”

Being reinstated after the first attempt exceeded my expectations! There is no substitute for experience and the service I received was worth at least twice what I paid.”

“In my current state of euphoria (naturally), I would have to say it was most enlightening as well as pensive at times. Mr. Harvatin’s forthrightness can be frightening if one comes seeking assistance unprepared for battle. He is most assuredly good at what he does and he exudes willful conscientiousness.”

“My first contact through phone, very helpful, listened, got important information needed and returned information needed to know what steps need taken for them to assist. Kind, warm, easy to talk to people. I think the service was outstanding, the cost was somewhat high for representation.”

“You folks have made me believe that there are still good people left that believe in right from wrong. I think that you honestly care if justice does prevail.”

I can’t believe with my poor driving record that Mr. Harvatin was able to get me reinstated at our first hearing. I am truly grateful.”

“Receiving the letter in the mail yesterday, that stated my husband John has been approved for a restricted driving permit on his first attempt, brought much needed relief to me. Just reading the first line brought me to tears, tears of joy. John had been disappointed in the past with these hearings, but we had the utmost faith in Mr. Harvatin.”

“Having been denied a couple of times, plus paying a lawyer and not having all paperwork at the hearing, I did feel a tad bit more secure even though I had gone twice in front of the hearing board without a lawyer and had everything.”

“Very knowledgeable, professional and competent. Knew just what to do. A lot of money (for us) but a valuable service that we needed.”

“I was treated as a person and not just another court case. I have paid a lot more and gotten a lot less in the past by other firms.”

“Prompt, courteous and efficient. For an out-of-state applicant the law offices provide competent advice for a complex clearance process.”
