Hirsch Law Group

What the firm handles

The work here covers three areas of Illinois law: criminal defense, immigration, and family law. That mix is worth stating plainly, because plenty of firms keep to one lane. The site sorts its work under each heading and lets a visitor see the range without much digging. The three practice areas each get their own labelled section, which makes the page easy to scan for a specific charge or need.

The criminal side carries the most detail. Immigration comes second in depth. Family law is present through divorce. As a reviewer, I read the split as Hirsch Law Group wanting to cover the legal problems people in Illinois tend to face together, since a criminal charge and an immigration question can land on the same person at once.

Inside the criminal defense work

The firm names a long list of criminal matters it takes on. These include DUI, drug crimes, domestic violence, assault and battery, felonies, theft and robbery, sex crimes, weapons charges, and traffic violations. It also lists expungement, which points to work after a case as well as during one.

Federal and serious charges on the list

Two further categories are worth flagging: federal charges and white collar matters. Those sit apart from everyday state court work and call for different footing. The site also names murder and order of protection cases, so the list reaches the most serious charges as well as minor ones.

In my opinion, publishing that full spread is more useful to a worried reader than a vague promise about results. A person searching after an arrest usually wants to know one thing first: does this firm handle my kind of case. The criminal list answers that on its own terms, charge by charge, without the reader having to call to find out.

Immigration and family matters

On immigration, the firm groups its work into family-based cases, humanitarian-based cases, removal and deportation defense, and naturalization and citizenship. Those four cover a good share of what people need when they deal with the immigration system. Removal defense in particular runs on tight deadlines, and listing it as its own area signals the firm takes that pressure seriously.

Family-based work and naturalization tend to move on longer timelines than a removal case, so grouping them under one roof lets a client keep the same firm as their situation shifts. That continuity has practical value for people whose immigration status and family plans move together.

Family law appears through Illinois divorce. The site keeps this section shorter than the other two. It reads as a real service the firm offers, and this review keeps it in proportion to how the site presents it.

How the team is built

The website names twelve attorneys: Brandon Phetsadasack, Caelyn Deeb, Thomas Carrasco, Andrew Hanson, Elanna Myers, Sara Bozarth, Addilene Avila, Thomas Florek, Dan Clifton, Joseph Lane Weigel, Andrea Neumann, and Robert Kroeger. A named team of that size shows a reader this is a group practice rather than one or two lawyers with help in the background.

The firm states that its attorneys hold more than a century of combined legal experience across criminal and immigration law. A combined figure like that covers the whole group rather than any one lawyer, so a reader should take it as a measure of the bench. Set beside the practice lists, that named group is the main measure of the firm's size on the page.

The firm also states that it has multilingual and bilingual staff. For immigration and criminal clients who work in a language other than English, that detail carries real weight, since it affects whether a person can explain their own case in their own words.

Where the firm practices

Hirsch Law Group lists offices across a wide set of Illinois counties, among them Cook, DeKalb, DuPage, Kane, McHenry, Winnebago, Lake, Will, LaSalle, Champaign, McLean, Sangamon, St. Clair, and Madison, plus a Downtown Chicago location. The first-listed office sits in Arlington Heights, in Cook County. The firm states that it serves all counties in Illinois.

A presence that wide is unusual for a firm of this size, and it suggests the team travels to courts around the state rather than asking every client to come to one building. Running offices in that many counties, rather than one central address with occasional travel, points to a firm that plants itself in the local courthouse system across Illinois. For someone facing a court date in a county far from the city, that reach is the kind of fact that decides who they call.

How a prospective client might read it

Taken together, the site gives a clear account of what Hirsch Law Group does and where it does it. The clearest signals are the depth of the criminal list, the named team of twelve attorneys, and the county-by-county presence across Illinois.

As a reviewer, I would treat the public information as a solid starting point and use a first conversation to confirm who would handle a specific matter and what recent experience they bring to it. On the evidence available, the firm presents itself as a broad Illinois practice built around criminal defense, with immigration and family work beside it.
