My name is Attorney Anthony Tomkiewicz and I am a Civil, Traffic and Criminal Defense Attorney. If you need a DUI Lawyer, Traffic Lawyer, Criminal Lawyer, Personal Injury or general Civil Lawyer, you can call me on evenings and weekends, 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week for a free consultation.  The attorney that you choose can greatly impact the outcome of your case.. I believe in a simple yet effective strategy: (1) fight first and fight to win, (2) negotiate second, (3) settle third and only if the offer is fair.  Hire me and I will make all efforts to aggressively pursue your claim, ease your fears and reduce your stress.  I will fight for you and protect you and protect your rights.  I will advise you to accept only a fair outcome.. My record/reputation speaks for itself.  I have included on this website a list of results of just some of the cases that I have handled in the past few years.  I have tried at Jury well over 30 cases although I stopped counting years ago.  I have tried hundreds of motions, hearings, and bench trials from petty offenses to class X felonies.  Many of the felony cases that I handled involved charges from class 4 felonies up to class x and super x felonies such as: possession of a controlled substance, manufacturing and or delivery of a controlled substance, calculated criminal drug conspiracy, aggravated criminal sexual abuse and or assault, home invasion, unlawful/aggravated/reckless discharge of a firearm, and armed violence, just to name a few.  Not only have I tried numerous felony cases but I have been successful in attaining acquittals and favorable rulings where others thought my case could not be won.. I have worked for large government offices including a municipal law department, two State’s Attorney’s offices, and as a contract assistant helping a Public Defender’s office with its overload of files.  I also have valuable management experience as I supervised and controlled the misdemeanor and traffic divisions in one State’s Attorney’s office and I owned several businesses.I will not take on too many clients so that I cannot give my clients the attention they deserve.  I will not sell myself and then send young, inexperienced attorneys in my place.  I will not settle a case just to quickly close another file and collect a fee nor will I delay a case to collect fees.  I will not abandon a client due to financial difficulties.  The most satisfying feeling for me is when my client leaves my office or the courthouse a winner or is at least happy with their results.. I look forward to speaking with you about your upcoming case.Sincerely,Anthony Tomkiewicz, Esq.

There are a lot of lawyers who know the law and are good lawyers.. Unfortunately, there are very few great lawyers.  A great lawyer is someone who not only knows the law but also takes the time to listen to the client, understand the client's problem, develop a solution tailored to the client's needs and then deliver the solution to the client.  The solution may not always involve legal action.  Sometimes what the client needs is someone to listen and a word of advice.. I pride myself on being a lawyer who takes the time to listen to my clients.  I do that because I learned that unless a lawyer learns to care about what the client is saying, a lawyer will not be effective in fashioning a good solution.   And by learning to care, I found that I have become a better lawyer and more effective in helping the people that seek me out to help them with their problems.  That often means that I am taking some legal action on behalf of my clients.  When I do that, I achieve my clients' objectives. I can proudly say that I have never let a client down.  But sometimes my help means that I am advising some non-legal solution.  Because my clients know that I genuinely care about them, they take my advice and value it.. My track record of legal successes which includes dozends of jury trial victories along with my capacity to listen, care, fight when necessary, or offer a word advice, keeps clients coming back and referring others.
