He does not gouge his clients with extra fees. His rates are very competitive and very reasonable. He always responds to inquiries within 24 hours. Mr. Polinske has a way of making his clients feel comfortable and at ease right from the beginning. He is not condescending. I have utilized Mr. Polinske's services three times now and will continue to retain him as a lawyer in the future. I have worked with 5 lawyers in the past and Mr. Polinske is the only lawyer I would ever recommend. He is the best in the Metro East area!

The level of professionalism…read morewas absolutely atrocious and the fact that the biased judge was friends with her an then she turned in an Anders brief without even talking to me first was beyond comprehension. Do yourself a favor save your money and time and don't hire these people they only care about getting cash and not helping you! it's a waste of time and money truly a shame that she ign everything I told her and did the opposite it was absolutely a waste of time even talking to about anything she's very scatterbrained and didn't even know what month it was during emails it was unreal trying to get answers from this lady. don't hire her she's a waste of space completely!!!

He proceeds to tell me that if anything changes to give them a call back. I already wasted enough time on them why should I waste anymore? They just want "sure win" cases.

I hired Sarah to represent me on a case in Jerseyville Il. only after I kept it continuing for over…read more2 years. Her prices were $7500 and if it went to trial $10,000. Cost aside service was horrible she didn't really do anything for me I basically paid her $7,500 to accept the same deal that the public defender already offered me and then before I even accepted the deal I was trying to have her negotiate a few points for me but she wouldn't stand her ground I guess is what it was something she then proceeded to tell me that I needed to hurry up and make up my mind she was tired of making the trip from her office all the way to the courthouse. And then after I accepted the deal and had to do some weekends but there were some clerical errors I would say on the courts behalf and I had questions and I needed her to address the court for me or call the assistant State's Attorney or whatever she basically told me about no she did tell me she's no longer on my case the case has been settled and that's it she's not my lawyer anymore but if I'm not mistaken I paid lawyer is to represent you until the case is dismissed closed or you've been found guilty you know what I mean like I don't understand just because I signed a piece of paper saying it that I'll be on two years probation my case wasn't over she's horrible at her job she doesn't have the nerve to stand up and fight for her clients because my case was illegal search and seizure wrongly accused then that was used against me to in their eyes be able to search my vehicle and then give me bogus charges and she she was willing she said to go to trial but of course I'd had to pay 2500 more dollars and that's not including the hourly rate after that so it was 10,000 just to go to trial and then it was attorney fees and filing fees and all that on top of it so you can see how someone that had a public defender for 2 years and continued the case couldn't afford an attorney really didn't have the money to really go to trial but let alone pay all them fees so you see how somebody can just basically get bullied into accepting the deal and just do not hire this lady stay away from me they're Law Firm

Also, I explained my pay is higher at this time do to COVID overtime (this was only temporary), she never asked for pass years pay stubs (which I found out they should take an average of at least 3 years of pay stubs). Furthermore, I was present the divorce settlement that day in court, under extreme distress and PTSD from an unwanted divorce (difficulty comprehending and processing the information). I wasn't given any direction as to what I could fight, everything went in my X's favor even down to who gets to claim the kids last on taxes. It was as if she was working for her side (my X's) and not mine.
