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.

BEST LAWYER I HIGHLY RECOMMEND

This lawyer was fantastic. He did a great job for me and he and his staff were very helpful and always willing to talk to me. His office is convenient and when I would stop in they always helped. After my DUI case, Attorney Olexa also helped me with my interlock device. I could not believe the gr...eat work he and his staff did for me! Thank got I picked the right lawyer!!

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.

Difficult Case, Great Outcome

In 2017 I had gotten a dui on thanksgiving for taking my prescription medication although I had not been drinking and at my destination I was charged with the highest tier DUI and with it being my 2nd, my first being 8yrs ago and the fact that I work in NYC and live in NJ, this was a very unique and ...difficult case but thankfully attorney Olexa was suggested to me. Attoney Olexa gave me the very best representation, helping and answering all the questions I had through the process, if he suggests that something will give you the best possible outcome I suggest listening to exactly what he says. He was able to have my charges dropped significantly lower, at one point, early on in the case I was looking at min. 90 days max 5 yrs house areest or jail. It was dropped to the lowest drinking DUI with a min. 5 days max 90, and was given 20 days house arrest and 6mo probation along with some classes and community service. Without attorney Olexa I would hate to even imagine what my outcome would have been and although my sentencing just happened on the 23rd and his job was over with, he made me feel comfortable in the sense that he said I can contact him at any point if I need help with anything or have any questions as I’ll be looking to try and have my probation transferred to NJ once my 20 days is up. Ed Olexa is by far the best representation in the area so if you’re in a difficult situation as I was and want the best lawyer in the area I highly suggest giving ed a call.

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.
