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!!

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.

MAKES THE IMPOSSIBLE POSSIBLE!!!!

I simply can not find enough remarkable words to review Attorney Okexa and his staff. Attorney Olexa is absolutely the best lawyer I could ever find. When you need a lawyer, your first instinct maybe to look out of the Hazleton Area. I GET IT!!! I live in the Hazleton area. STOP LOOKING ELSEWHERE.... HE IS THE ATTORNEY YOU NEED AND WANT!!! I would choose Attorney Olexa over any lawyer anywhere. YOU should choose Attorney Olexa. He is absolutely amazing, he gives you a very good understanding of what your specific situation is and what or if you are up against anything. There is no BS. He truly knows the law. Simple as that. You are never given unexpected surprises, he is completely up front. His knowledge itself was enough to make him my choice for right lawyer we needed, but then I seen how hard he works and fights for his clients. The dedication he put into it never made me doubt my choice. His staff was absolutely lovely, and so kind and so understanding. His staff represents him, and they represent him flawlessly. If you are reading this, it's most likely you or a loved one needs a lawyer, I am writing this review for you. I know it's difficult, I know you may feel like you don't know what to do,or where to go. I was there, I was you. I don't put a lot of faith in many, I trust very few, I always believe everyone is out to make a quick buck right?? ..... WRONG!!! Attorney Ed Olexa is absolutely the lawyer you not only need , he is the one you want. I can not be more serious, stop looking and call his office and make an appointment, you will see what I am talking about. I promise you, if I did not believe this strongly I would not have written this review. This review is not just about giving Attorney Olexa a good review, this review is for anyone who needs a competent, hard working lawyer. He and his staff are very busy, but they truly make you feel like you are their only client.

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.
