Lewarchik Law, LLC is a premier law firm in Chicago, Illinois, laser-focused on civil and criminal appeals.

Our firm is dedicated to scrutinizing trial records, identifying legal errors, and crafting persuasive arguments to overturn or uphold lower court rulings. 🧑⚖️
An Insider’s Advantage in Your Appeal
What sets our firm apart is the invaluable experience of our founder, David Lewarchik. As a former staff attorney and judicial clerk for the First District Court of Appeals, he gained a rare insight into how appellate judges analyze cases and make their decisions. This background provides our clients with a significant strategic advantage. We have participated in over 200 appeals and have successfully handled cases all the way to the Illinois and Michigan Supreme Courts. When you urgently need a lawyer to handle your appeal, we offer a free consultation to assess your case and explain your options with clarity and honesty.

Our practice is exclusively dedicated to the complex world of appellate law and post-conviction matters. This singular focus ensures that we bring an exceptional level of expertise to every case. We represent clients in both state and federal courts, providing a second chance at justice. 🏛️
- Criminal and Civil Appeals: We meticulously review trial transcripts and court records to identify reversible errors, from faulty jury instructions to the misapplication of law.
- Post-Conviction Petitions: For those who have exhausted their direct appeals, we explore collateral attacks on convictions, such as petitions based on ineffective assistance of counsel or newly discovered evidence.
- Federal Habeas Corpus Relief: We represent state prisoners in federal court, arguing that their convictions were obtained in violation of their constitutional rights.
- Clemency and Pardons: We assist clients in preparing compelling petitions for executive clemency, offering a path to forgiveness and a restored future.
