Ted P. Hammel

As you look for legal representation, it is important to know the person behind the name. Ted Hammel, the Senior Partner at Hammel Law Offices, brings a unique blend of business acumen and courtroom grit to every case. After starting his career in banking and clerking for the U.S. Army JAG in Germany, Ted found his true calling in the courtroom. He spent his early years as a Will County Assistant Public Defender before launching his own firm in 1991. What really sets Ted apart is his deep technical knowledge of DUI cases; since 2002, he has been qualified to administer field sobriety tests, often testifying on how these tests should be handled. Over the years, he has become a leader in the Illinois legal community, serving on the ISBA Assembly and chairing the Will County Bar’s Criminal Law Committee. Whether he is defending a complex criminal case or navigating landlord-tenant disputes, Ted uses his decades of experience to guide his clients. He is not just a lawyer, he is an instructor who teaches other attorneys the ropes of DUI and traffic law.
