Handled a court case for me. He was just completely awesome. He is very professional and very cool and calming. He is communicative and very knowledgeable about his cases. I wish i could put into words how much Paul handled my case except for a great big humongous THANK YOU to One of the best lawyers around. I would highly recommend Paul and i would use him again if (God forbid) I need his help again.

Paul is an amazing attorney! He took my case seriously from the beginning and explained everything to me court related. Protected my CDL from a moving violation to a non moving violation. I would recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance!

He’s responsive, up front, and has overall great communication skills. Not only is he great at his job but he is a very respectable person!

Questions to ask when hiring an attorney

Why choose us as your personal injury lawyer or criminal defense lawyer?

Ultimately, you control the direction you want your case to go. Our practice is service oriented. From the moment you come in with your legal problem, you will be asked, “What are your goals while working with us?” We work both with and for you. What you want to have happen is the ultimate goal we work toward.

When you work with the Law Office of Paul M. Marriett, you can expect to receive top-rated negotiation and litigation expertise that will help us obtain the favorable personal injury outcome that your case deserves.

What’s it like using a personal injury lawyer or criminal defense lawyer?

From the initial meeting until your case is resolved, you will be able to approach us with questions, concerns, issues, and your thoughts. You will always get an honest opinion or explanation of how various decisions can impact and influence your case, and you can rely on us to be there for you. We know that anyone seeking out services to deal with a traumatic injury, criminal charge, DUI, or traffic case is dealing with one of the most stressful, painful, and emotionally draining parts of their life. We have been able to represent family members and friends in a host of legal matters and have represented thousands of folks in their cases.

Will I need to have a trial to resolve my case?

While very few cases do end up at a trial, we prepare every case as though it will go into litigation and assume that we will be asking a jury or judge to rule in our favor to resolve your case. In interviewing witnesses, reviewing police reports, consulting with treatment providers, and working closely with our clients, we utilize a high level of preparation to reach better settlement terms whether by settling with an insurance provider, business, or the government with a plea agreement. We know it’s never someone’s best day when they call us, but we strive to make sure that when their case ends whether through trial, or a settlement agreement, that, that day is one of those best days for our client and their family.

What areas does your law office cover?

Our trial practice is concentrated throughout the criminal and civil courts of Illinois. While our primary office is located in Rockford, Illinois, we faithfully serve citizens throughout the State having litigated various civil and criminal matters from Rockford, to Chicago, to East St. Louis, practicing in the following counties extensively: Winnebago, Stephenson, Boone Jo Daviess, Carroll, Whiteside, Lee, Ogle, DeKalb, McHenry, Kane, and Cook County (Chicago).
