EXCELLENT Criminal Defense Attorney. Attorney Olexa handled my case with utmost professionalism, & DELIVERED EXCELLENT RESULTS!

I am deeply grateful to Attorney Olexa and his entire staff for the manner in which they handled my case--beginning to end. Ed is very well-versed in both the law and how the system works. I found him to be thorough and truly committed to representing me. His efforts resulted in 4 charges being dropp...ed completely, AND he was able to get me a favorable sentence (no prison). From the first consultation to my final day in court I knew Ed was working very hard for me and my family, with only my best interests at heart. I had some very serious criminal (drug, felony) charges and Ed was very clear in explaining what I was up against, and what he was planning to do in my defense. In return, I paid his very fair fee and pledged my honesty is helping him defend me. He delivered, consistently. Since you're reading this review you may be considering retaining Attorney Olexa. I encourage you to retain him. He WILL fight for you. And he will treat you with respect. Thanks Ed.

Best decision I made!

I went to Atty. Olexa after I got charger with PWID, use of telecommunication device for illegal activity, possession, and a slew of other felonies and misdemeanors. I was facing up to 15 years. As soon as I retained Olexa he immediately got started on having my case reheard by another judge, and get...ting house confinement lifted so I could return to work. Although he was pricey, I was able to pay half up front and go on a payment plan. I had another attorney prior to Olexa who gave me poor advice and botched my case. Olexa fixed all of it. On top of his awesome representation, his office staff (both named David) were always very nice and helpful when I had questions. Even though I had so many charges, they never treated me anything less than a client, and that made me feel comfortable too. Lastly, he was able to get all my charges dropped, except for one. I am not serving any jail time. I was truly blessed and appreciative that Google pointed me in the right direction!!
