Traffic Defense & DUI

Genuinely Honest and Conerned

David Franks is as professional as it gets. He treats you with genuine honesty and concern. He returned my call and met with me in person 1 day after I called the office. Mr. Franks helped get a very favorable outcome on my ticket. He outlined everything he thought would happen and it did. Nobody wants a citation hanging over their head. Mr. Franks advanced my case and resolved my issue very quickly in court.

The receptionist greeted me over the phone and gave all my messages to Mr. Franks. The staff was pleasant and courteous.

I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Franks to anybody. He will get the job done, treat you respectfully, and do it all in a professional manner.

Very Pleasant and Helpful

I received a ticket for speeding in Illinois around July 4, 2016. By September 20, 2016 it was cleared up, paid, and minor sentence for me to adhere to. Not having this ticket conviction on my record saves me $1,600.00 over 2 years for a possible insurance hike. David Franks’ legal assistant was very pleasant, helpful, and answered all my questions. I would recommend David Franks to my family and friends because of the satisfactory outcome of my case and communication.

Thanks a ton guys!

Genuine Interest in Clients

David Franks is a modern day miracle worker. He has a genuine interest in his clients and will work passionately for them. During the initial consultation I felt as though he was very engaged in the conversation. He made it very easy to recall the significant moments of my arrest. He was very straight forward; not once did I feel uniformed or in the dark about the progress of my case. I felt as though they gave my case much attention and consideration. The consistency of the letters and phone calls kept me feeling confident in their abilities.

The staff was fantastic, always welcoming, informative, incredibly friendly and engaging. They made it very easy to open up about my feelings about the situation and seemed to genuinely care about what I had to say.

I want to personally express my gratitude for your handling of my case. It’s hard for me not to understate my appreciation. This whole ordeal was holding me back from committing to so many things and now I feel like I can finally move on with my life, thanks to you. Thank you for staying in close contact with me. I appreciated your being honest with me about the potential outcomes; preparing for every possible scenario gave me an opportunity to reflect on the direction of my life and really organize my priorities.

I will highly recommend you to anyone who needs an attorney.

Criminal Defense

Straightforward About My Case

David Franks told it to me straight, was my true advocate and fought for my desired outcome. David Franks responded to my initial e-mail, that was sent at midnight, the next morning. Mr. Franks always made reference to the support of my wife and mother. The most serious charge against me was dismissed, fines were reduced by 50% and court supervision was decreased by 50%.

His staff was pleasant and courteous, and I was always treated with respect.

I would highly recommend Mr. Franks to my family and friends if they were ever arrested on a criminal charge.

Doesn’t Sugarcoat Things

David Franks impressed me by the fact that he took the time to listen to my wife’s and my concerns/questions, plus he didn’t sugarcoat the fact that the charges were serious. But I told the truth and David got all the paperwork to back my facts. He told us what we faced. He told us it would take some time. He dug for the truth. He never gave up, and most of all he believed me.

I found David to be thorough and leave no stone unturned, followed all avenues and diligent. Even when he was sick he came to court. A very intelligent man who knows his law.

What I valued the most is two things. Integrity—this word has in it the word grit and to me someone who has grit is someone who digs in, doesn’t give up, and gives all they have. Honesty—any man, business, company to succeed must be honest in all their dealings.

His staff always answered my questions, always polite. They never made me or my wife feel rushed.

I would recommend David Franks to my family and friends if they were ever arrested for a criminal charge.

The outcome was exceptional — above and beyond our thoughts. Case dismissed with prejudice!

Staff Made Me Feel Welcomed

David Franks was very personable and genuinely cared about helping my case. He worked really hard to get me an amazing deal. David Franks kept me very informed about my case. I received letters in the mail and met with him multiple times. He met with me before court to make sure I knew what was going to happen. I had confidence that I would get the best outcome possible, and had clear information and advice throughout the process.

The staff made me feel very welcomed, when I was there I never felt treated like a criminal. I was treated like a person.

I would always recommend David to my family and friends if they were ever arrested for a criminal charge in McHenry County.
