During the summer of 2024, I encountered serious trouble for the first time. I was concerned that DUI charges would have a devastating impact on my family, career, and social life. With his calm, professional demeanor and in-depth legal knowledge, Mr. Burnson immediately impressed me and eased my mind. Paul Burnson won my acquittal through hard work, persistence, and a unique approach. In my opinion, things would not have gone as well if I had been outside Mr. Burnson's council. His dedication and genuine care were palpable.

Chicago Trusted Attorney has been nothing but supportive and helpful to me and my cases. When I first hired David and his team Paul and Izzy, they assured they would help me through my legal journey and getting the best outcome possible and they have done just that. They’ve always guaranteed my best being and outcomes for my cases. For example, thanks to the great, dependable work of Paul Brunson, a DUI case of mine that resulted in me almost getting a felony, was brought down to a misdemeanor. Another case, Paul was very determined to make sure the courts knew all the facts and that I wasn’t left in limbo. The judge let me go home that day on an ibond. I am so grateful I hired the best legal team to represent me! Chicago Trusted Attorney really lives up to their name. You can trust them with your legal issues and I recommend their services. Thank you Chicago Trusted Attorneys!

Working with this lawyer, Paul Burnson, was a very positive experience from start to finish. He defended me in a frivolous Order of Protection against me that was subsequently dismissed. Mr. Burnson also filed a post dismissal motion for sanctions (reimbursement of my attorney fees) against the Petitioner. Mr. Burnson also won this motion in my favor. I would highly recommend attorney Paul Burnson.

We were honored to work with Paul. His professionalism, knowledge and compassion are unmatched. We looked for attorneys for months, some would not help us. Everyone at Chicago Trusted Attorney, and especially Paul and Nicole, made the process seamless and allowed for justice! We are beyond grateful! Their name is accurate-- couldn't have entrusted this case to anyone else. Truly an answer to prayers!

I hired the Chicago Trusted Attorneys from a number of firms I was meeting with in the Chicago area because of how genuine and detailed their message to help was. Paul got assigned my DUI case and my first court date was right at the height of COVID. We soon learned that with the amount of evidence the state of Illinois had they wanted to convict me so Paul put it plain and simple for me: we could take it to trial and fight it or try to make a deal with possibly a lesser conviction. I decided to fight it because a conviction didn’t sit well with me. The case dragged out for almost 3 years and throughout that time Paul found a crack in the case and told me his game plan all along to try and get my charges dropped. Finally when the trial date came, Paul and Stephanie were as prepared as ever and they won my case. Got all charges dropped! I couldn’t believe it, but that just goes to show the amazing work this team puts in behind the scenes. Thank you Paul, Stephanie, and the whole team!

Going into my first case ever I was so worried and confused. Once paul explained everything to me I was unsure to trust him. I was not an easy client and Paul still kept things very professional while assuring me that everything is fine. Paul sat me down and told me to trust the company and what they can do for me. My case was dismissed after a 2year fight. Thank you again.

Well I don’t really know where to start with My Lawyer Paul Brunson. First of all picking a lawyer was one of the most difficult decisions because you are putting your life in someone else’s hands and praying they are ethical, decent, and gonna truly fight on the behalf of you. Chicago Trusted Attorneys was the best decision I ever made. These people have treated me with nothing but the utmost respect and really like family. They had my sons best interest heart knowing he was not a bad kid just got himself into a pickle running with the wrong crowd and getting himself into trouble he shouldn’t have. Paul fought really hard to get him the best deal possible and that he did. But even after getting him probation for 4 different felony cases, He still screwed that up and Paul then went in and fought again still getting him 1 case unsatisfactory probation with no time and only 45 days time to do. These lawyers are top notch and I can’t thank Paul enough for all he has done for me and my fa
