Edwardsville Criminal Defense Law Firm

Overview

We at Polinske & Associates, located in Edwardsville, Illinois, focus our practice on criminal defense and family law. Having conducted over 133 jury trials, our practice covers areas of criminal defense and family law, including traffic violations, cannabis defense, civil asset forfeiture, DUI defense and more. Building a successful track record and maintaining a loyal clientele over the years, our goal is to provide high-quality advocacy and affordable representation to our clients.

We concentrate our practice in the counties of St. Clair, Bond, Macoupin, Jersey and Montgomery. We ensure that you fully understand the legal and financial implications of your decisions, providing you with the necessary information to make informed choices. Drawing on years of experience, our attorneys take an aggressive approach to fighting for your rights both inside and outside the courtroom.

Whether it is a petty misdemeanor or a serious felony, we will stand by you and fight on your behalf so that you can be free of the stress associated with legal proceedings. A criminal charge can be a daunting task to handle, which has the capacity to tarnish your personal and professional life if not handled well. Not afraid of facing trial, we prepare for each case with meticulous attention so as not to miss any details and are always prepared for the worst-case scenarios.

Carrying the rich legacy of over three decades of dedicated service, we have also been successful in resolving family issues involving divorce, child support, child custody, property division, spousal maintenance, modification, enforcement, mediation, guardianship, paternity and adoptions. Unlike criminal defense, family law matters are sensitive in nature and need to be handled with sensitivity in order to resolve matters amicably and for a better future for all parties involved.

At Polinske & Associates, we understand the importance of accessibility and offer free initial consultations and virtual appointments. Our stellar reputation, reflected in the glowing online reviews from satisfied clients, speaks volumes about our unwavering commitment to securing favorable outcomes for those we represent.

I was scared and worried, not knowing who to turn to for help. With there being so many lawyers out there and all saying they can help and then reading reviews, it was hard....but I'm so very happy I came across Brian. He has been the best. Him or his assistant was always there to answer any questions I had at any time. They kept in contact with me every step and reasured me that they had me and my best interest at heart. I hope I never need a lawyer again for any reason, but if I do, I know I will return to Brian. Thank you guys so very much! I can finally relax and move on with my life.

Brian took care of business I felt the police were definitely stacking extra charges even dui when the situation was not the case. He went every time and didn’t accept less than removing charges that were damaging to me and not true. I recommend him he will go the extra mile

I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Polinske to anyone in the area seeking legal assistance. He contacted me the same day I expressed interest in hiring a lawyer and was remarkably quick in his responses. The charges I faced left me feeling very emotional and anxious about the outcome. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how much better the resolution turned out to be than I had anticipated. Working with this law firm truly lifted a heavy burden off my shoulders. His secretary, Christy, was also fantastic; she answered all my questions and provided reassurance when I expressed my concerns about the case. She was my main point of communication through the duration of my case, which was settled in just over a month. I am extremely grateful for the outcome, and I attribute much of my relief to Mr. Polinske’s expertise. If I ever find myself in need of legal assistance again, I would absolutely choose this law firm without hesitation.

Attorney Brian Polinske is a great lawyer!! He knows the law. He will defend his client with honor. If I ever need a criminal defense lawyer, I will not hesitate to use him again. He got a dismissal for a charge that I did not do.

I am writing this to you to express my sincere appreciation for helping me with my case. Your representation on my behalf in regards to my arrest and charges, which was an unfortunate mistake on my part, has been a Godsend. The outcome that you were able to reach allows me to continue to stay on a positive track and put this behind me.

Mr Polinske was very straight forward and showed a excellent knowledge of the process that would be followed in my case. In our first phone call he described in detail how my case would progress and the timeframe he laid out for the case was right on the money. I had tried to contact two other attorneys but never heard from them. Mr Polinske returned my call the same day that I first called. He and his staff remained responsive the entire time until the dismissal of my case. I would not hesitate to call him again if his services were required.
