Battery
Practice Area: Criminal defense
Outcome: Not Guilty
Description: People v. L.N. and A.S. – In Cook County, both clients were charged with battery causing bodily harm after allegedly punching, kicking and beating a person with a lead pipe. The alleged victim sustained severe facial and head injuries that required numerous stitches as well as major dental work to replace several teeth. Neither of Mr. O’Meara’s client’s suffered an injury. An independent eyewitness testified that she saw the client’s beat the alleged victim without being provoked. Result: After a bench trial that included 7 witnesses, the judge found Mr. O’Meara’s clients not guilty of the charges based on self defense.
DUI
Practice Area: DUI and DWI
Outcome: Not Guilty
Description: People of IL. v. M.B. – In Cook County, the client was facing a second DUI charge with a breathalyzer result over double the legal limit. Result: Mr. O’Meara argued that the arrest was illegal and called the arresting Sergeant to the stand and questioned him about how the arrest was handled. After the contested hearing, the judge agreed with Mr. O’Meara and threw out all the evidence based on an illegal arrest. Thus, the court granted the motion to quash and the State’s Attorney was forced to dismiss the case.

Reviews

I highly recommend O'Meara Law to anyone looking for legal representation. From the moment he picked up my call to the end of my trial, he was beyond empathetic, intentional, and strategic in his approach to getting me the best possible outcome. I thought I had a clear cut case against me and was ready to settle on less than ideal charges for an unwarranted arrest, but Mike O'Meara went out of his way to provide thoughtful legal guidance and tackle the trial head on. It took a while for me to see his vision, but I placed my trust in him and went through with the process and ended up being so happy I did. After nearly a year of waiting through extended court dates, we decided to take my case to trial. The result: all of my charges were completely DISMISSED. I was floored by Mike's attention to detail in preparation and his ability to litigate circles around the other attorneys. What felt like a lost cause turned into a complete win and every possible aspect of my case being respectfully shut down or utilized to the favor of my defense. With this being the first time I had ever been charged through the court of law, I was fascinated by the process and felt safe with Mike's guidance. He was the only lawyer to answer when I needed one in the middle of the night during my arrest and supportive until the end of the trial. I was not only able to keep my license, but have all charges, classes, court fees and traffic infractions cleared. The legal fees were extremely reasonable with all the time and energy he put into the work. I wouldn't consider another option for myself, and if a friend or family member ever needed services for a DUI or related charges, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to O'Meara Law, too. 5 stars and a 10/10 experience.

Michael truly cares about his clients, and I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a dedicated and skilled attorney. Thank you, Michael, for your outstanding support during a challenging time in my life!”
I would not hesitate to recommend Michael to represent them. Look no further! From start to finish he managed the case with honesty, compassion and respect. The charges against me were minor but carried serious consequences professionally, his approach in court was stellar. Communication through out the case was perfect his preparation to my case was second to none. Most importantly I was found not guilty. So five stars is not enough Thank you Michael
I highly recommend O’Meara Law Office for any legal problems you run into. I was charged with a felony gun case and was facing prison time, that’s when O’Meara Law Office stepped in and turned the tables with his outstanding knowledge and techniques which ended up resulting in my case getting dismissed! He is highly dedicated in what he does & wont stop fighting until you get the Justice you deserve. Give him a call, you won’t be disappointed!
Michael O’Meara was patient in his practice and ended up getting my case dismissed. I’m glad I put full trust in him and we got the best possible result we could’ve gotten at the end of the day. I highly recommend him to anyone who thinks they may need good representation.
