They leave feeling informed, supported, and represented by an attorney who genuinely cares. Their words say more than we ever could.
I had a criminal case recently in Chicago, Cook County, that had me a bit worried. Attorney Borjan Kovacevic walked into the court room ready to go, dominated the case with ease, and walked out. Besides Borjan though is on-top of his cases, helping everyone of my referrals walk on their charges too. Probably the best Law Firm in Chicago for criminal cases.

This here is one of those law firms which cares about their clients, no matter how big of a client you are. They will NOT just take your money and do nothing. They actually care and at the end of a day, they get the job done. I am very happy how Borjan Kovacevic handles things and I surely recommend this company to everyone.

Borjan Kovacevic is an excellent attorney – kind, wise, and truly cares about his clients. I was involved in a retail theft case and didn’t know where to turn. Even after hours, he called me, reviewed my papers, and gave me a clear plan. He stayed in touch, answered every question, and made me feel at ease. In the end, he got my case dismissed. I’m so grateful and highly recommend him to anyone who needs a great defense lawyer.

Frequently asked questions
Find quick answers to some of the questions clients ask most often when they are facing charges or need help from an experienced defense attorney.
Have more questions?Do I really need a lawyer for a first-time DUI?
Yes. Even a first-time DUI can lead to license suspension, fines, and a permanent record. A lawyer can challenge the stop, the testing process, and the evidence to help protect your license and your future.
What should I do right after getting arrested?
Stay calm, don’t say anything that can be used against you, and ask to speak to a lawyer immediately. The earlier you get legal representation, the better your chances of avoiding costly mistakes or harsh penalties.
How much does it cost to hire a criminal defense attorney?
Costs vary depending on the type of charge and how complex your case is. Kovacevic Law offers transparent pricing and free consultations so you can understand your options before making any decisions.
