DWI-2013

When I spoke to Ed prior to retaining him and he gave me some insight about his background and being a former police officer I knew he would be the man to handle my case. Upon reviewing the paperwork for my case he immediately identified some errors with the statements made by the officer(s) as well... as an issue with the device used to record one's BAC level. Both issues were brought the attention of the prosecutor and judge which quickly led to my case being dismissed. And I fell that his experience, knowledge of the law and his high attention to detail led to this decision. Before and after the case he continued to remain polite, courteous and even offered some advice non-related to the case. I think and feel that Ed is one of best out there without question and would recommend him to anyone that may have a really tough case to deal with.

Highly Recommend

Mr. Janzekovich was very knowledgeable and provided the necessary legal advice for the cases I hired him for. The outcome of both was to my satisfaction and I would highly recommend him. He was easy to get in touch with by phone and email and he did not hesitate to spend the required amount of time t...alking with me and answering all questions regarding my legal situations.

Professional, knowledgeable and responsive service

I called Ed out of the blue. Never met him before and he did not come recommended by anyone. It was related to a legal issue involving one of my teenage children and I happen to come across Ed's name as a person who might be able to help. I was not sure what to expect since I had no prior dealings wi...th Ed and he did not come recommended. But I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality and level of service I received from him. Ed was transparent right from the start. He accurately assessed the situation and the possible outcomes. He was very knowledgeable about the issue at hand and the options available to address it. He made a good recommendation and successfully helped us navigate through it. The outcome was exactly what he had predicted. I appreciated very much not just Ed's abilities but his dedication and hard work on our case and he treated us like longstanding clients and not just another client who came along for the first time. I have kept Ed's contact info on file and plan to use him again in the future if necessary. I highly recommend him for the reasons discussed above.
