Law Office of Melissa Smejkal

I was referred to Mellisa by a family friend worried about the legal case I was facing. She did an absolutely phenomenal job, comforted me and explained start to finish how everything was going to work. Had the case dismissed and have nothing but amazing things to say about Melissa.

Although I was found not guilty of an offense from 30 years ago, the charge had been haunting me for years, always coming up in background checks because I never had it expunged. I couldn’t get the job I have now if Melissa had not done this for me. I researched doing it myself, and it was a process that seemed unbearably intricate, a set up for possible failure because of the red tape involved. Also, I no longer live in Chicago, so having her representation meant I didn’t have to be present. Thank-you, Melissa!

Melissa is a phenomenal attorney. She helped me through a situation I'd been dealing with for 9 years, and cleared it in a few months. I appreciate your help and I'll definitely be referring you to anyone that I know needs it. Thank you again.

I was referred to Melissa by a friend when I found myself facing a legal situation I had no idea how to navigate. From our very first conversation, she clearly explained my options and immediately instilled a sense of confidence that everything would be handled properly. Throughout the entire process, Melissa was incredibly responsive, promptly answering all of my questions and managing every aspect of the case with professionalism and care. She made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel remarkably smooth and manageable. After a year of proceedings and multiple court dates, Melissa secured a not-guilty verdict — just as she had predicted when she first reviewed the evidence. Her thoroughness, calm demeanor, and calculated approach were evident every step of the way. I truly cannot recommend her highly enough.

I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Melissa Smejkal, and I can't recommend her highly enough. Melissa was not only professional and honest but also incredibly detailed in handling my family's case. What impressed me most was her take-charge attitude, she was determined to get the best possible outcome for us. Thanks to her hard work, my family member walked away with no felony on their record and was given the opportunity to complete community service instead. If you want results, look no further than Attorney Melissa. She truly goes above and beyond for her clients.

I was initially concerned about the limited communication, but I soon realized it was because Melissa was fully focused on building the strongest case. She was honest and direct about the challenges, yet still secured probation for someone already on probation for a gun with a prior UUW charge. That outcome speaks to her skill and dedication. I truly appreciate her work and highly recommend her services. Thank you, Melissa! Client P Jackson
