Roger Rostislav Soroka

Both Attorneys Roger Soroka and Josh Bedtelyon went the extra mile in their defense for up to and including going to trial to make sure my case was heard and adequately defended. His entire staff was helpful throughout this trying time in my life, and I could not be more pleased with the results. I ...would recommend Soroka and associates to anyone that needs legal representation

I was pulled over and charged with OVI in Licking County. We hired Roger to handle my case. The night of the incident, I had one beer 2.5 hours prior to leaving. I was driving my husband's pickup truck and drove on the white lines while I was trying to find the cruise control. I was pulled over a...nd asked to do the field sobriety test. I did what was asked of me and believed to have passed the tests. The cop believed I did not pass the tests, and placed me under arrest. There were several things that we believed that the cop did incorrectly- incomplete directions during the test, searching my person (male cop), saying he smelled alcohol when there was no smell, etc. He asked me to do a breath test, and I declined, due to the law that states it is the cop’s discretion to charge you even if you blow a 0.01. The cop ultimately ended up breath testing my husband, who had nothing to lose since he was a passenger in the vehicle. My husband blew a 0.00, and drove us home. Licking County has zero tolerance when it comes to OVI’s, so they either drop it or go to trial. We went to trial and Roger believed we had a good case. If I was found guilty, I was looking at a minimum of 10 days in jail, along with fines and whatever else the judge may require. Roger and his colleague Josh did a great job during the trial and the outcome was a hung jury. I was not charged and we believed the whole ordeal to be over. A few weeks later, we received news that they wanted to have a re-trial. Roger and Josh were very prepared for the re-trial and did an outstanding job. Every single jury member voted Not Guilty and I was not charged. From the date of the incident to the completion of the re-trial, the timeline was about 1 year. During this time, I was completely stressed, anxious, and overwhelmed with what the outcome could be. We received the best outcome that we could have asked for, and I am so thankful for and appreciative of Roger and Josh, and the time and work that they put into my case.

Mr. Soroka & his firm has went above and beyond for me! He has spent countless hours with me explaining things, fighting for me, researching info, and has always made my family & I feel like more than just a client. Any legal needs that I may ever have, I will always call Mr. Soroka first! He achie...ved the same or better outcomes than some attorneys who wanted 3 times as much money.
