Criminal case

Ross is a lawyer you can trust! I hired him with severe criminal charges against me. He provided straight forward understanding of all possible outcomes and best possible approach.

Very impressed

Mr. Albers handled my DUI case with great results and professionalism. I was extremely nervous and emotional about the whole incident and throughout the process. He was calming and reassuring. He is kind, considerate and knows the laws and how the system works. The process at the MVA hearing was dism...issed because of his knowledge of reading the police report with an open mind and eye. The process at court and his advice prior to court helped to get a judgement of Probation before Judgement. If I ever need an attorney for anything, without question I will be back in his office. Thanks Ross for everything.

Attorney with excellent Knowledge, Experience, and Character

When hiring an attorney, you hire for his knowledge, experience, and character. The attorney's strength, and more so, the outcome of the case highly depends on such elements. I know this because I'm also in the professional services industry. In my case, Ross' knowledge and experience allowed us to ...make the best strategic decisions in a timely matter. His capabilities allowed for us to achieve the best possible outcome we intended. His personality and poise allowed me to have confidence throughout the process. When the case requires the best, Mr. Ross Albers is the attorney to have on your side.

Excellent DUI Lawyer

I received a DUI in August of 2017 and was extremely afraid of the consequences of a really bad decision. I thoroughly searched for legal representation in Westminster and found Ross. Ross was available to meet me within in an hour of a phone call. At the free consultation, he was honest and open ...about the potential outcomes in a situation like mine, answered all my questions and suggested a course of action to give myself the best outcome. I decided to hire him that day. Before we went to court, Ross reviewed the details of my case with me, explained how the trial would proceed and put my mind at ease. The day of the trial, Ross knew the state’s attorney. The SA wanted to postpone the trial because the breath technician was on vacation however, Ross convinced her to proceed and this allowed for me to plead for probation before judgement on the lesser charge, DWI with one year supervised probation. I could not have been more pleased with that outcome! At the MVA hearing again Ross again proved himself as a skilled DUI attorney. He was able to convince the administrative law judge to allow me to drive with a modified license for 45 days. This was an outcome I was not expecting and could not be more pleased. Ross is an excellent DUI lawyer and I highly recommend him to anyone facing these serious charges. He is knowledgeable, open, and always available. The things I valued most was Ross's experience in the DUI courts, his relationship with the state’s attorney, his honesty with potential outcomes and availability to answer questions whenever I had them.

Top notch lawyer!

A few months ago, my life was turned upside down. I made a very bad decision and drove under the influence of alcohol. As a result, I hit two parked cars, and was arrested at the scene. I thought my life was over. After a long weekend of researching attorneys, I came across Ross Albers' website. I ...called him right away, and I was surprised that he personally answered my phone call. He was willing to meet me right away. His first question to me was, "What are your biggest fears?" I had expressed many. I work as a health care professional and have 3 wonderful children, I had a lot at stake and was afraid of losing everything. He immediately calmed me down and reassured me that everything was going to be ok. He thoroughly explained the legal process and all the possible outcomes to me, and I went home feeling a whole lot better than I was feeling over the long weekend. Over the next several weeks, I had many questions in which he always answered in a timely manner. The use of my case portal made it easy and convenient to send and receive messages. As my court date approached, he met me a week beforehand and went over the entire court process with me in detail so I would know what to expect. I was facing 7 charges altogether, and he again reassured me that I would be ok. Ross went above and beyond my expectations of an attorney and he got me the best possible outcome for my situation. One year of PBJ, and all of the charges dropped! I attend a 26 week long alcohol rehabilitation program and have an interlock device installed in my vehicle. It seemed like a lot at first and I was pretty overwhelmed, but it could have turned out so much worse for me, not only legally, but I could have hurt or killed myself or someone else. This was a huge life lesson for me and I am forever grateful that I had Ross Albers standing by my side to represent me. I would highly recommend him to anyone facing a DUI charge. He is kind, compassionate, friendly, knowledgeable, experienced, and knows the law.
