Posted by Jaclyn | April 14, 2014 | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

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:)

My personal Opinon go with someone else.

I am from Tennessee..know alot of good lawyers in Tennessee, in fact alot of family members are good Lawyers...Sadly my Husband's mess up is in PA where i am not from., but If you are just going in front of a Magistrate...well, He would be okay i guess... But if you had to go infront of the Court of ...Common Pleas, You would be better off representing your self! was told 90 days in county "done deal". Turned into a State 1 to 2. How do you mess up what you tell me is a done deal and not at any time tell me there would be a possiblity of a 1 to 2. Total waste of Money.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
