Hiring an attorney is no small matter. I couldn't be happier.

Like many, I approached the hiring of a lawyer with a healthy level of skepticism. I couldn't be happier, however. Roman was referred by my trusted financial advisor and Roman did a stellar job... he even helped with subsequent issues that arose beyond my initial need. On a scale of 1 [low] and 10 [high] Roman is an 11 and you owe it to yourself to get advice from someone with such integrity and care.

Excellent Quality of Service, Highly Recommend!

Roman and his staff were excellent, they were persistent and got the job done on my case. No shades of great and very direct communication, exactly what you should expect from a great lawyer. I highly recommend Roman and his firm.

Posted by Kenworth | February 17, 2015

Absolutely recommend!

I've worked with Roman for years and when it comes to someone who is honest, hardworking and truly cares about the needs of his clients, I can't imagine anyone else to handle my legal affairs. I've used him personally and also for many business needs and would absolutely recommend he and his team.

Great attorney - trusted advisor

Roman has assisted us with several personal matters and recently a business matter. I wholeheartedly recommend Roman without hesitation. He is absolutely earnest and insightful-- a pleasure to work with and someone in whom I have complete confidence. I believe he actually cared about the outcome of each of our matters-- not something that can be said about most other attorneys. Having Roman at our side during some potentially tumultuous legal events eased our anxiety a great deal-- he always seems well-prepared and fearless. He projects an approachable confidence, and everyone we encounter in the legal realm seems genuinely happy to see him. How many attorneys receive that type of reaction!! I certainly don't look forward to future legal matters-- but having Roman on our side makes the possibility of future trouble much less troubling.

Business/Transactional Client

Mr. Hammes is a brilliant Attorney. His insights and strategies are second to none. His knowledge of the law and understanding of its parameters are phenomenal. He takes the time to make sure that anything unfamiliar is explained and he is prompt in his returning of calls and emails.

Posted by Hunter | March 4, 2014

Fantastic Lawyer. Great experience!

Fantastic outcome from a trusted guy. He went out of his way to attend to my case and near the end helped me settle with little regard for himself putting the client (me) first! Additionally he is very personable and a super fella!

Posted by JR | January 24, 2014

Professional and Expeditious

I was referred to Attorney Hammes and was told that he is professional and the best at what he does. In handling my case, I found that to be true. He and his staff worked hard on my case. He was always available on the phone to speak with me directly. I wholeheartedly would recommend this attorney to anyone needing legal assistance.

What a blessing!!!

Mr. Hammes was highly recommended to my husband and I. We originally met with another attorney to assist us with the dreaded Chapter 7 process, but thankfully we chose Roman to help us. He is extremely knowledgable and we are very pleased with his expertise in the field of bankruptcy and business reorganization. He painlessly guided us through what was a very tough situation for us. Our paperwork was flawless and he even stripped our second mortgage. We are forever grateful for your assistance and would highly recommend you to everyone.

Chapter 11 Business Bankruptcy

Thanks for all your hard work and attention to detail. I was thoroughly impressed with everything you have done and greatly appreciate your efforts. Even the judge commented on the detail and orderliness of your work! It's rare anymore to find people that do what they say their going to do and then go beyond even what you expected. I hope for your continued success. I would highly recommend hiring Roman to handle the complications and difficulty that a chapter 11 business bankruptcy case can bring.

Great Service!!

We have used Roman for debt restructuring and negotiation several times over the last few months and have been tremendously pleased. He is extremely smart, has great attention to detail, and works through things for us the way we understand and need his assistance. Highly recommend.

Beyond Pleased

We could not be more pleased with Roman's level of expertise in debt negotiations and we are very thankful for the favorable deal Roman negotiated for our family. Thank you Roman for all of your hard work and we will certainly be recommending you to others.

He is an Arrogant Charlatan

I hired him to evict a squatter and correct a title. I paid him over $5,000 in the course of 1 year. I foolishly dealt with him for a year. The only invoice I received from him was for $3,121.32. have not received a refund or explanation. He rarely answered my e-mails and I had to make appointments to talk with him on the phone (it sometimes took a week before he talked with me.) He was usually rude and resented when I asked him a question. He just told me he knew what he was doing. I finally told him I was dissatisfied with his lack of effort and correspondence with me. He got mad and withdrew from the case. I am guilting of putting up with him for as long as I did. I retained another attorney who favorably resolved my case in 4 weeks. Avoid this guy like the plague.
