Best DWI Attorney

I have to say this upfront at first Ed seemed aloof and not too informative which had me worried at first. But I am a client who had been stopped for a DWI and refused to take a test which by law a guilty plea would have made me lose my license for a year plus do jail time. We chose to go to trial an...d that is when I realized how prepared Ed was. I read his notes and his practice questions and how much research he had done preparing for my case and was blown away. Needless to say verdict was not Guilty This man knows his job and does an unbelievable job in cross examination. He found so many inconsistencies in the officers testimony that he almost got the case thrown out. The lack of communication at the start was not due to not caring about my problem but to the fact that he did not want to waste my money on needless conversations. I can not speak more highly of the job he did for me. If you have DWI problems call Ed Olexa.

THIS LAWYER WILL BE YOUR BEST CHOICE!

I was wrongly accused of a DUI. I didn't know where to turn. My family and my reputation were at stake, and the stress was killing me. I was referred to Attorney Olexa and as soon as I met him my mind was put at ease. He understood how important this case was, and thoroughly investigated it. He ...confronted the police and got the charges DISMISSED! Now he's helping me to clear my arrest record. This guy was a master in court, I couldn't believe it! It was worth every penny and I owe my life to him. He believed in me, and that's priceless. I can now move on with my life.

Highly knowledgeable and Quick-whitted

I had hired Attorney Olexa for traffic violations based on several referal's. I am very pleased I did. He handled my case to the best of his kownledge and went out of his way to research my citiations to find previous cases similiar to mine. His office stayed in touch with me throught the whole pro...ceeding until the court date which was very nice. I would highly refer him to anyone that would need any assistance with cases that pertain to his field:)
