This is the firm you want in your corner
If you are facing an Order of Protection case and feel overwhelmed or unsure where to turn, this is the firm you want in your corner. I cannot recommend Sarah Toney and her law firm highly enough. The process was long, emotionally exhausting, and full of uncertainty, but with this team, you can feel safe knowing they'll get you the best outcome.
In court, it was clear that the judge understood the situation because of how effectively Sarah's team presented the facts and advocated on my behalf. Thanks to her work, I was granted a full two-year Order of Protection.

Angela Kvitek
My 3 Convictions Were Also Sealed
I would like to thank Brittany and The Toney Law Firm for their amazing service. In 2023, I filed and submitted a petition to seal 3 convictions (1 felony and 2 misdemeanors). The court system had told me I would receive a letter in 4 months with a court date, which I never did.
I decided to call The Toney Law Firm in late August of this year for assistance to seal my criminal background. I was informed I would get a court date in mid to late January 2026. Days later, Brittany reached out stating a court date of September 11 was secured, 4 months earlier than anticipated! Not only were they able to secure a court date on such short notice, my 3 convictions were also sealed. I couldn't be any happier and more satisfied with the service and results provided by The Toney Law Firm.
Thank you so much!

Resolved My Situation in a Short Amount of Time
I reached out to The Toney Law Firm via their contact form on the website regarding a legal issue with my driver’s license and was seeking guidance on the appropriate steps I needed to take next. What stuck out to me the most was how quickly Sarah Toney replied to my question. After our initial interaction, she not only continued to answer and address all of my concerns, but she was able to resolve my situation in such a short amount of time. Sarah always replied to me in such a respectable and timely manner, which meant a lot to me because it can be stressful not having your questions answered for hours or even days at a time. Thank you, Sarah & The Toney Law Firm for helping me get the best outcome for my situation and continuing to communicate with me to address my concerns!
Ariel Tzoumas
Sarah Toney is the best attorney!
Sarah Toney is professional, she truly cares about getting you the best outcome. I’ve dealt with other attorneys in Lake and Cook County and I can say she is the best attorney in the Chicagoland area! I contacted her when I was, of course, stripped of my driving privileges she did everything she could and helped me get my license back! She made the process stress-free and explained everything to me in detail so I was prepared for the process. I am beyond grateful and thankful that I had her by my side. Do not hesitate and call her, she IS the best!

It's possible to have a DUI expunged or sealed, depending on state laws and circumstances surrounding the case. Factors like the offense's severity, time since conviction, and any additional offenses play a role. Consult a lawyer for options.
What are the penalties for a DUI?
Penalties vary by state and offense severity. Common penalties include fines, license suspension, required substance abuse programs, and jail time. Repeated offenses often lead to harsher penalties, including longer license revocations and mandatory ignition interlock devices.
What are common defenses in DUI cases?
Common defenses include questioning the legality of the traffic stop, challenging the accuracy of breathalyzer tests, and disputing the arresting officer’s observations. Each case is unique, so a tailored defense is necessary for favorable results.
What should I do if I'm stopped for suspected DUI?
Remain calm and cooperative. Provide necessary identification and documents, but limit other information offered. Politely decline field sobriety tests and request to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.
