IT WAS NICE TO HAVE A HEAVYWEIGHT IN MY CORNER!

I was very concerned having to face off with one of the most devious, scandalous, pathological liars I have ever met. This person made outrageously fictitious claims against me and even brought two witnesses, whom I had never met or seen. I didn't have to say a word. I watched Attorney Roman methodically dismantle the opposition; and back them into a corner with their own lies, while using the law to convince the Judge to throw them and their fictitious complaint out of the Courtroom. It was masterpiece moment that left no chance for error. He closed the case tight as a drum!

Review

I hired Brian to deal with assault charges. Brian was extremely resourceful and helpful. He advocated for me and defended my case perfectly. I ended up with a warning resulting in no charges if no further incidents occur within a year. I am so grateful for and happy with his service.

GUN charge dismissed

I got charged with a possession of a firearm a week after I got hired for a local police. I knew I was wrongly charged and with all the paperwork to prove that I was wrongly charged every attorney I spoke to tried to overtly charge me and told me that my career would most likely be over and that I can potentially face jail time.. some didn’t even look at the evidence that proved my innocence. I spoke with attorney Roman and he reviewed my paperwork and evidence and I told him about my job and told me that I could get it dismissed… within 2 weeks my case was dismissed with an apology from the court house and now my life is back to Normal. I know that things shouldn’t be about race but as a black man I really felt that everyone turned against me and thought I was guilty except attorney Roman and I will forever be grateful for him. So I would recommend him to any and everyone.
