DUI dismissed

Hands down the best legal representation I have ever had. I thought the price was a bit much but it was well worth it when all was said and done. Attorney Olexa surpassed all expectations and managed to do the impossible. In just one court visit Attorney Olexa got all of my criminal charges, includin...g a DUI charge dismissed. I would recommend anyone looking for legal representation to contact Attorney Olexa's Offices as soon as possible.

I do not live in the Carbon County area, and I needed to hire an attorney to handle a criminal matter for a member of my family. Attorney Ed Olexa delivered on his promises. He was an excellent communicator, made the whole process easier, and guided us from start to finish. He laid out our strategy a...nd delivered on his promises. I have great respect for his ability to handle matters in a timely systematic way. I would highly recommend Attorney Ed Olexa to others.

Criminal charges withdrawn to Summary

When I got caught up with the law for an honest mistake I was very upset. I have been doing great until I got charged with a crime that really is confusing under my circumstances. Atty Olexa is very professional and understands his clients emotions .He does the best he good, He can't work miracle...s but pretty darn close. Maybe he can?Fair is fair and by him representing me twice in the last 12 years he helped me tremendously and I know he will help anyone to the best of his ability and he also will talk with the officer and prosecution to benefit his client. Not like some other lawyers that roll with the punches .

7-15 turned into probation.

Attorney Olexa, is one of the kindest and most reassuring men I have ever met, even with that said. He won't dance around your situation simply to make you feel better. He will state the facts as they stand for you. He will ensure you know every possible outcome of your case, even if it wasn't what y...ou wanted to hear. That's a strong testament toward his character and his legal knowledge. Even greater a testament is his attitude toward clients, he cares for those who employ him at a level above and beyond I had ever expected. I left my previous attorney to hire him as, my previous attorney met none of my needs, legal or personal. Attorney Olexa won't just meet your needs, he will go above and beyond them. Any question you have about your case, he or Dave will answer in a timely fashion. Attorney Olexa is highly regarded in the courts for solid reasons - He was once a DA, so he's seen the opposition. He knows the opposition and how they think. And that's his strongest point he's strategic. This is chess to him, and he has the considerable advantage of knowing how the opponent thinks. If you ever find yourself on the wrong end of the law, you can't do better than Ed Olexa & Co. And to those worried about prices, he's affordable. But even if he weren't, you can't attach a price to your freedom, and above all else that's what he's fighting for.

This man is a great lawyer & a wonderful person!

Olexa review on Avvo.com Attorney Olexa is down-to-earth, humble, no-nonsense lawyer. He is respectful to his clients. My husband had been charged with a DUI. He found a specialty court (Veterans Court), which not only avoided jail time but forced my husband to face his addiction. The case went on... much longer than we expected, but he did not waver from his quoted original fee. He allowed us to make payments on his reasonable fee. He is courteous & polite at all times. He is fair, educated, & very knowledgeable. We wholeheartedly recommend this attorney for all your legal matters & needs.
