Suspended Lic. DUI related

Very affordable, if in a pinch, he will work with you. I was uneasy at first with being in legal trouble and all, but from the moment I consulted Mr. Olexa, I was reassured that my life wouldn't be over just yet. He did plenty of research, bringing paperwork for the results of 3 other cases similar t...o my matter in which they were found not guilty. We were originally going for a plea deal, but the officer pulled out last minute w/o explanation so Mr. Olexa and I went into a hearing in which I was found not guilty. 10/5 stars, would recommend.

Provides Top-Class Legal Services

Number ONE Defense Attorney

I retained the legal services of EDWARD OLEXA and his team to represent me in my Hazleton criminal case. Throughout my very challenging case, OLEXA proved that his experience and legal background places him at the very top of the legal representation system. He worked diligently with me and communi...cated the very best options available in my case. He doesn’t give you false hope but will go the extra mile to listen to you, address your fears and concerns, and help you successfully resolve your case. I highly recommend OLEXA to anyone out there that's overwhelmed with reading review after review like I did, in trying to select an attorney. When you consult with him you will understand exactly what I'm saying here. His experience, his knowledge, his genuine concern for his clients and his passion for what he does will speak for itself. Your search for the best attorney ends here! To be honest...I don’t think there is anyone better than EDWARD OLEXA out there, he makes you feel as if he's part of your family and he knows his job very well. I thank him for everything he has done for me and my family. EDWARD OLEXA did exactly what he said he would, and what more could be asked. He is the kind of person that EXCEED YOUR EXPETATIONS. Professional, informative, clear and precise. He handled a very difficult problem for me, at a difficult time in my life. For some his fees, might be too high, but, he’s worth every single penny. I'd hire him again.

Hard working and there for his clients

Attorney Olexa went above and beyond for my husband and I. We had originally went with another lawyer who made our case more of mess then it already was. After 4 months of no progress and always negative communication we switch to attorney Olexa. Attorney Olexa was honest and upfront with his thought...s and suggestions. After taking the time to hear what we had to say he immediately started working on our case. By the second week of hiring attorney Olexa he has done more for us then we expected and gave us hope to resolving our case then we had during the first 4 months. Attorney Olexa was in for our best interest and worked really hard at getting the best result possible. He was prepared to fight at every angle that would have been thrown our way. When we were in doubt he always encouraged that everything will work out. We were being charged with felonies (3) each and was able to successfully complete our case with a no contest of disorderly conduct and have our kids reunited with us. We would recommend and highly suggest attorney Olexa. I would also like to add that his staff are very professional and are kind. Never made us feel like a stranger and always made us feel comfortable.
