Brian Polinske is the right choice, if you're looking to win! Brian is a skilled lawyer who mythodically prepares the case. He knows how the system works. His professionalism and confidence are quickly recognized and respected in the court room. I am a mother who can breathe again....I will forever be grateful to Brian for helping my son. My son made a bad decision and Brian worked it out so that my son got a second chance at life! My son was facing 2 Felony X Charges and 1 Class lll Felony Charge. (Do the math... It was a horrible situation) With my son living in CA and me living in NY we had absolutely no idea how to go about finding a lawyer in IL. We were blessed to have gotten Brian. There were many prayers and lots of emotions throughout this 14 month process but now it is finished!!!! Brian worked out a plea bargain of 2 years probation and fine for my son. I am still amazed!!! I will never forget to be thankful each morning. I continue to pray everyday and now I added Brian to my list :) read more

I wouldn't give him 1 star. This attorney preys on the weak and makes Promises he cannot keep. The simplest one being MAKE IT TO THE COURT DATES. The simplest of things he couldn't do for me. Such as return phone calls or emails and he and his office lost court paperwork making my case even harder. I ended up firing him for the best lawyer in EdwardSeville. Lost 13K dealing with a snake in the grass who worked like another attorney in the other persons favor. Missed court dates, rescheduled meetings that never happened and him just being an ass. I wouldn't chose this man if it was my attempt at freedom. He may have been the best at one time but it certainly isn't now. You'll be hard pressed to get him out of his Golf Attire, let alone to an actual out room hearing. What a joke he is. Donna is ehhh but their daughter really shines, especially with the verbal and mental abuse I've seen her father brain pull on her. see Briana's a failed psychologist and tries to play those games on his client.. let alone the victims. he came across like he was on drugs and not very professional. read more

Donna Polinski was the worst attorney I've ever had or even dealt wit. The level of professionalism was 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!!! read more

Contacted Brian way out from Los Angeles on behalf of a mutual client. The service could not be better. The man is an absolute professional. He does not hesitate to shoot the information straight. Best attorney in the entire region in my professional opinion. read more

Had Brian for my DUI case. He was amazing! The entire staff was! Takes care of everything and keeps you in the loop the entire time. Day or night they are there to answer any and all of your questions!!! Best attorney around! Hands down!!! read more

I hired Brian to represent me for a felony case I had back in June of last year. I needed to find an attorney right away and he agreed to represent me. While I was waiting for my case to be heard, the local police seized my vehicle. Since I had already retained Brian, I asked him if he would represent me in this forfeiture case. He agreed. I can't thank him enough! When we went to court, he was very informative about state forfeiture and seizure laws. Needless to say, he won my case and I was awarded my car back from the police! I was more than impressed with the way he presented and argued my case and so was his peers. After it was over, and I was walking back to my seat, one of the other attorney's in the court room came up to me and told me I had the best attorney to represent me in this case. I have to agree!!! Brian went above and beyond what a regular attorney would do and I was able to get my car returned to me without it "costing me an arm and a leg." I have to say Brian is the best attorney around here and I would highly recommend him if you need an awesome attorney to represent you on felony cases. read more

Hands down the best attorney I've ever had. He got my half a million dollar bond reduced so I could get out of jail. I was facing a 6 year minimum. He had my charges reduced and set for non reporting probation. He kept in touch and made it so I only had to come back for sentencing and right back home. DON'T HESITATE TO HIRE THEY ARE THE BEST! read more

Really? Nobody's reviewed Brian here? I know he takes a lot of DUI cases but also takes serious-ass cases that could make a difference in you having a life... or not. So whether you have some ticky-tack case or an OMG case, you need to contact Brian. He's a really grumpy guy who may or may not return your call when you want. But what do you want? A decent attorney or a circus clown? Yeah, so PM me if you want more details but this guy's the real thing. Good luck. read more

Mr. Polinske is the best lawyer I have ever worked with in the past 15 years. He has successfully downgraded one DUI to a non-moving violation for me and the second one was completely dismissed and expunged from my record. Mr. Polinske is trustworthy and reliable. 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! read more

Brain Polinske and Associates are a must if you desire a top notch firm that combines knowledge, success and compassion. My case is still going on and while Brian is busy, he and/or his staff always have time to answer questions and keep me informed on the process. This helps decrease anxiety and the feeling of being lost in the judicial system, especially since I live out of state. I recommend Polinske and Associates to everyone. read more

THE BEST ATTORNEY IN MADISON COUNTY, ILLINOIS WITHOUT A DOUBT!! I was faced with the difficult decision of which attorney to hire to represent me on felony charge entered in Madison County, IL. I was out of state and my life was at stake. I did not have much faith in attorneys due to hiring the wrong ones in the past who did nothing for me, but take my money. I can say without a doubt that Brian Polinske and his team at Polinske & Associates are amazing. Jen (paralegal) and Brian were with me every step of the way and he delivered. I couldn't be more grateful or happy with the representation he provided and the service I received. He gets the results you deserve. He was able to get my felony dismissed, which was not an easy accomplishment. The best criminal defense attorney in this town. Brian Polinske is an attorney who is honest and a legal genius with integrity!! Attorneys like this are RARE. Do not consider anyone else or you'll regret not going to Brian first like I did!! read more

A close relative of mine was wrongly accused of possessing illegal drugs. It was a very complicated case and I did not think we could overcome the many obstacles to proving his innocence. We had no idea where to turn for help. I asked a lawyer friend (who does not practice criminal law) who he would recommend. He told me "go to Brian Polinske" and I'm so glad we did. We won the case and justice was served. Brian is very knowledgeable about criminal law and was very responsive each time I called or emailed him. I highly recommend Brian for your legal needs. read more
