Mr. Komie and his team guided me through a painful, complicated case with confidence and expertise. They were completely thorough and compassionate at the same time. The rates were reasonable considering the effort involved. Justin was great, and Mary at the front office is exceptional. I would not have made it through this ordeal without her. Mr. Komie and his team are legal specialists that I highly recommend. | ||

I had a pleasure meet work with you I fully satisfied with the outcome of my case my car was seized by Hoffman estates police department. It was my only car and I have not paid it off yet. The police would not give back my car. I hired Mr Komie to get my car back and prevent its forfeiture. He successfully talked the lien holder to not seize my car with the state. I got my car back and I only had to pay 745$ to get my car back. If the police have taken your car you need Mr. Komie ! | ||

Walked out of the court room with huge relief, I had an accident with a bicyclist and in the beginning the bicyclist assured me that he’s fine and I should go, next couple days he informed police about the accident. Then a detective called and said I was involved in a potential hit and run. Mr Komie was able to help me prepare the case and help me achieve the best outcome and I ended up with no charges on my record. Mr Komie and his team are highly professional and would assist you with their years of expertise if you ever need any legal help. | ||

I was driving home in Hanover Park when I was stopped in Cook County. He sighted me into the Dupage County courthouse. I hired Mr. Komie to get me out of my arrest. He filed a motion to dismiss which the court granted. Mr. Komie was recommended to me and his reputation preceded him. I was still optimistic but at this point in the case you. He demonstrated to me why he has all the accolades that he has and all the recognition he has throughout his profession because he is a specialist at what he does if you’re looking for an attorney and have no direction Mr. Komie is the way to go. | ||

Back in 2021, I hit a rough patch of life. The pandemic sidelined me and I became depressed. I started medicating myself with large amounts of alcohol. Unfortunately, after having too much to drink I drove my car through DuPage County into Cook County. Just as I arrived on County Line Road, I was arrested by the Elmhurst Police Department for DUI. While the case was pending, I picked up a second DUI case out in Grundy County where I hit a car. Officers arrested me walking in the corn fields of LaSalle County. | ||

Mr Komie is the best of the best. I had to fire two other attornies before finding Mr Komie so I got some experiences that I never would have wanted but there I was. I was referred to Mr Komie by another attorney. Once he was with me in court the difference was immense compared to other attornies. Often I felt I was up against the system or "the man", which I was. Mr Komie took on that system and beat it. We won. One never knows for sure what can happen in court but we won impressively. Mr Komie knows the law, the history, the ins-and-outs. He knows how to communicate and how to influence people. That includes knowing how to influence judges and juries. Yay! I felt great confidence having Mr Komie with me and that feeling of confidence was both deserved by Mr Komie and that confidence proved out with the result of my case. I was very involved with decision making in my case but trust me, one can put his or her trust in Mr Komie. He was always at least 3 steps ahead of me in thinking and strategy. My case was very high level and Mr Komie was a God send for sure. He saved me. | ||

Stephen Komie and Eric Andersen and the entire firm are outstanding lawyers and people. They handled my DUI case which was looking to be a potential felony with jail time and were able to reduce it to a misdemeanor with two years probation. Steven and Eric know their way around the Cook County criminal court rooms and provided me the care and compassion needed to get me the best possible result for my case. The result could have been much, much worse and Stephen and Eric got me the best possible resolution I could have expected. | ||

My poor sainted mother, Dorothy, 20 years ago tripped and sailed through a plate glass window. The subdural hematoma changed her life forever. My mother could no longer navigate the city by bus, go to the race track, or take care of herself. We lived together. I took care of her. One day, my estranged sister showed up from Florida. Mom was taken my sister's brother-in-law's dining room to write a new will and deed the house to her. It was my sister's plan to inherit from my mother and leave me penniless without a home. The brother-in-law prepared a Power of Attorney (POA) and a new deed taking the house away in favor of my sister who lives in Florida. When Mom died, my sister decided to evict me. My good friend, Jack, said you got to get Mr. Komie. Mr. Komie took me to court and stopped my sister from evicting me. The look on my sister's face when the judge said “no eviction” was worth everything. Priceless! Mr. Komie obtained an injunction and stopped the Sheriff from throwing me in the street. He kept me in the house until I was ready to settle the case. He even got me money which I needed to start all over from the sale of Mom's house. I want to thank the entire team of Mr. Komie's professionals who stood by me through the terrible times caused by my nasty sister. When you have family trouble like I had, you better get Komie if you want to stay in the house. He was wonderful! -Sandy Love | ||

I was busted driving my car through Blue Island, IL smoking a doobie. I need medical marihuana because I have a herniated spine. The pain is excruciating so I took a smoke to kill the pain and allowed me to get through the day. The sergeant who busted me said the smoke was coming out the window. He put me in handcuffs and found my edible gummies and ginger snaps. So I went down for a felony. To top it off he threw in an intoxicated driving. I was up for Manufacture and Delivery plus DUI plus Driving while Smoking. I contacted NORML, they recommended Stephen Komie. I cannot tell you what a wonderful job he did busting the fuzz. When all was said and done the felony was gone, the driving while intoxicated was gone, and I left the courthouse after pleading guilty to misdemeanor possession of edibles Komie saved my life. So I am still able to get a job, earn money and have a career. If you're busted by the cops, you need Komie. | ||

I was busted for street racing and hit with a couple tickets and 2 charges. State wanted convictions and large fines, I was going to lose my license. Mr. Komie represented me and in the end, I had a deferred prosecution and had to attend a safety school course where I learned better driving behaviors. I was required to go to university. Now I have no record and I leave for school in few weeks and i'm excited. I'm thankful for another chance at a clean slate. | ||

In 2017 I was busted by the state police on I 55 outside of Springfield with more than 100 pounds of weed. My family interviewed lawyer and hired Stephen Komie . I got out on bond after 8 days although I was facing a mandatory 12 to 60 years. We went to court and I was offered 30 years. Mr. Komie told me to reject it because he could do better. He and his team work up my case. He questioned the stop as a violation of my rights. After 3 years of fighting the state . Mr. Komie got me a soft ending. He got me 2nd Chance probation for 2 years of Deferred judgment at home in California. He beat the felony conviction and save me from going to prison. He save my life and I aim going home to my family. Amen !!! I recommend him as truly the BEST Lawyer in the country for any legal trouble. He and his team took great care of me!!! I spoke to several lawyers who urged me to plead as the case was hopeless. But I put my faith in Mr. Komie . He worked a great miracle reducing my case of 100 pounds to 500 grams for a deferred judgement. If you are in trouble you need him. | ||

Mr. Komie helped me with an unique legal issue. I was distraught, and he took the time to listen to every detail. He and his team researched and formed an action plan. They explained every detail and were there every step of the way. They patiently answered every question and concern. Mr. Komie successfully settled the legal issue. He genuinely cared for my well-being and the legal issue, and offered great legal and life advice. I highly recommend his services. | ||

I have 100 percent certainty that Stephen Komie will give this case every minute of time and attention it needs in order to bring it to its best possible outcome. The amount of time he spent with my family was beyond my expectations. He truly wanted to get to know us and to answer any and all questions that we had. Just meeting with him for the first time lifted a great burden off of my shoulders. Of course we hired him! | ||

In January of 2021 I was blessed with the birth of my first daughter Millie. Within 30 days Millie suffered an ischemic brain bleed. We rushed her to Edward/Elmhurst Hospital. They were unable to provide an explanation of the cause of our daughter's unexplained bleed. Edward immediately summoned DCFS who threatened to take away our child. Edward Hospital unable to care for our daughter, transferred her to Lutheran General. At Lutheran General DCFS went into overdrive to seize our child. We were accused of child abuse, "shaken baby." My parents suggested I get a lawyer. Then I found Mr. Stephan Komie. In our first meeting he discussed ischemic brain bleeds vs. blunt trauma and related injuries to infants. He explained the legal procedures, but most importantly gave me the courage to go against the doctors at Lutheran General. We demanded our baby be transferred to Lurie Children's Hospital to seek the true cause of her brain leaking blood into her skull. Five months later DCFS tried to take custody of our baby and remove our baby from our lives to a foster home. Mr. Komie convinced the authorities the case was an ischemic bleed of the brain and not caused by foul play. Mr. Komie's immediate intervention on our behalf led to the return of our precious child Millie. Please, if you or someone you know finds yourself in the unfortunate situation of being wrongfully accused of child abuse, call Mr. Komie as soon as possible. Mr. Komie's expertise in law as well as his passion for his work are the reasons why Millie is home with my husband and I today. Thank you will never accurately express our gratitude for what Mr. Komie did for our family. God answered our prayers in our darkest hours by leading us to Mr. Komie. Millie is home now, thanks to Mr. Komie. | ||

Prayers answered
Oh my God! Mr. Komie got my husband time served for money laundering. He represented my family throughout a decade long ordeal of a government investigation of my family’s grocery store, the arrest of my husband, and my prosecution deferral. He guided us through every step of the legal process which was unfamiliar to me. He negotiated my deferral prosecution agreement for helping my husband transfer money. He represented my husband throughout the entire time he served 97 months through plea and awaiting sentencing. Mr. Komie helped me plan a sentencing hearing for my husband which included my family members. My daughter Elizabeth, age 7, wrote a letter to the judge and read it in open court with Mr. Komie’s encouragement. His professional approach to the sentencing hearing and his legal arguments persuaded the judge to reject the presentence investigation recommendation of an additional 91 months on top of time already served. I was praying with my rosary beads as the judge pronounced the sentence on my husband. It was a roller coaster ride. And when the judge agreed with Mr. Komie and sentenced my husband to time served, my heart was filled with joy. God granted my prayers. My daughter jumped with happiness. Later that day, I discovered how happy my daughter was that the judge had listened to her and granted her prayer to send her daddy home. Thank you, Mr. Komie, and your team of fine lawyers for excellent presentation of my family’s case and sending my husband home to me and the kids.-Rg
Not Guilty Jury Verdict
Mr Komie is the best of the best. I had to fire two other attornies before finding Mr Komie so I got some experiences that I never would have wanted but there I was. I was referred to Mr Komie by another attorney. Once he was with me in court the difference was immense compared to other attornies. Often I felt I was up against the system or "the man", which I was. Mr Komie took on that system and beat it. We won. One never knows for sure what can happen in court but we won impressively.

I felt great confidence having Mr Komie with me and that feeling of confidence was both deserved by Mr Komie and that confidence proved out with the result of my case. I was very involved with decision making in my case but trust me, one can put his or her trust in Mr Komie. He was always at least 3 steps ahead of me in thinking and strategy. My case was very high level and Mr Komie was a God send for sure. He saved me.
Mr Komie's attorney assistant was Mark Belekon. He worked hard (everybody did) and hustled. He was an integral part of the team and was also very trusted and helpful and cared.
The entire office staff is fantastic. Mary is at the front desk; she is super on top of things. She always knows what is happening; she always kept me informed and brings things down to a ground level in a super appreciated way. As well as the above, Mary is friendly and fun to talk to.
I also want to thank Joy. Joy was kind of the behind the scenes glue. She is very knowledgable and more than helpful.
I know I'm missing somebody because the entire staff cares. I could feel that.
I and my family thank you, thank you, thank you Komie and Associates.-Casey Kalicki

Ripped off at O'Hare Field
In March of 2019 I was traveling to Los Angeles for the purpose of starting up a new business. I had the support of my friends who agreed to be involved with my new business. While transferring planes in Chicago I was accosted by Illinois police officers who without my consent took my luggage and seized my entire working capital for my new business. They tried to frame me by claiming it was drug money. In fact, all of the money had been earned legally as part of the organization of my new business. I immediately hired Stephen Komie to get my money back.
Mr. Komie went to federal court and pursued a motion to suppress. When faced with the overwhelming evidence of an unconstitutional seizure of my capital, the government's case collapsed. I received 100 percent of my money back and the court awarded Mr. Komie attorney's fees. Although it took several years, I am very happy to have received my capital back so I may continue to support my family and develop a new business. I am thrilled to say I received all my capital back.
Thank you, Mr. Komie and your team, for never doubting me and fighting all the way to the end to recover my hard-earned business capital. You guys are simply the best. -Christopher Duncan
Stephen Komie made the overwhelming process of fighting my case very easy. Communication from his office was both timely and professional. Every meeting with Mr. Komie had a clear purpose and in the end he was able to reach a deal that I approved and am happy with. If I ever need a criminal defense lawyer again, I know who I'm calling. 10/10 would definitely recommend Komie and Associates.-Brandon
My baby taken by DCFS
In January of 2021 I was blessed with the birth of my first child Millie. Within 30 days Millie suffered an ischemic brain bleed. We rushed her to Edward Hospital. They were unable to provide an explanation of the cause of our daughter's unexplained bleed. Edward immediately summoned DCFS who threatened to take away our child. Edward Hospital unable to care for our daughter, transferred her to Lutheran General. At Lutheran General DCFS went into overdrive to seize our child. We were accused of child abuse, “shaken baby.” My parents suggested I get a lawyer. Then I found Mr. Stephen Komie.

He explained the legal procedures, but most importantly he gave me the courage to go against the doctors at Lutheran General. We demanded our baby be transferred to Lurie Children’s Hospital to seek the true cause of her brain leaking blood into her skull. Five months later DCFS tried to take custody of our baby and remove our baby from our lives to a foster home. Mr. Komie convinced the authorities the case was an ischemic bleed of the brain and not caused by foul play.
Mr. Komie’s immediate intervention on our behalf led to the return of our precious child Millie.
God answered our prayers in our darkest hours by leading to Mr. Komie. Millie is home now, thanks to Mr. Komie.
Long story short. DEA @ Union Station took 59k in cash from me around the end of January 2019 I called around for attorneys and after talking to Mr. Komie felt like he was the most genuine out of the bunch. After some research I also noticed he had experience in this specific field of seizures. Another plus was that he took my case on contingency.
Less than a year later, December 2019, Mr. Komie had received my money back and I got a check in the mail for my share. I am very grateful for Mr. Komie’s expertise and his amicable staff.
Thank you! You are truly appreciated.
May you all have a Merry Solstice & a Happy New Year -Victor
Stephen Komie and his Associate Eric Anderson helped me to reduce what would have been my first felony to a misdemeanor. Initially, I had hired a different lawyer for my case . He did the standard lawyer thing where he went in the courtroom and just asked for the best offer from the State's Attorney. They offered me a felony with no jail time. That lawyer told me this was the best offer I would ever get and to absolutely take it. However, I knew I needed someone to take a deeper look into my case and truly analyze it, and I didn't feel that first lawyer was doing that. I needed someone with more knowledge, I needed someone who cared, and who would do their best to protect me. That's when, by God's hand, I found Mr. Komie. Before I switched lawyers and hired Mr. Komie, I felt helpless, I felt lost, and I was stressed constantly. The moment I stepped into Mr. Komie's office for the first time for the consultation, I saw that I was dealing with someone who knew what they were doing. Mr. Komie explained everything to me in detail from A to Z, actually calmed my nerves (which I thought was impossible), and even gave me life advice. He truly cares about his clients. He cares about us as human beings who are in a tough situation that he can help, not just as a the next customer, as so many other attorneys do in my experience. I hired Mr. Komie on the spot, which I was not expecting to do, I thought I was going to do more shopping.
When Mr. Komie stepped up when the Judge called my name during his first court appearance, the Judge's attitude was completely different than before. Before, the Judge wanted my case moved along, and was getting irritated, and with Mr. Komie, the Judge showed respect and actually started to listen. During the entire process, if I had any questions or concerns, I could call the office and Mary, the receptionist, would always answer and assure me that Mr. Komie or Mr. Anderson would call back soon if she couldn't answer my question herself. She is amazing. Mr. Komie and Mr. Anderson fought for me for a year, and after all their hard work, cas I stated before, the case was dropped down to a misdemeanor, and I ended up taking the deal. I have a lot of respect for Mr. Komie and his entire staff. They have earned it. They will help you if need it. THEY are the lawyers you want on your side. I am very grateful to have met them and if anything ever happens to my friends and family where they need legal assistance, Mr. Komie and his associates will be the only ones to call.-Sam
I want to express my appreciation, gratitude, and thanksgiving for my lawyer Stephen Komie who guided me through the process. As we walked together he provided counsel and advice which allowed me to stay the course, keep my head up, and seek my prayers for justice. -Father Frank Phillips
