Can't Get Any Better

Roy knows his way around the criminal justice system and knows how to get positive results. He took a difficult case and gave us a great outcome, better than we could've imagined. Thanks to Roy!

Capable and Tough Representation

I don't often write reviews about services but the excellent representation provided my Mr Dominguez seemed like it should be shared with others. He was effective in the courtroom and skilled in the negotiations necessary to resolve my case. Mr Dominguez and his competent office staff was always avai...lable to answer questions whenever I had them. Not only am I satisfied with the outcome of my case, I feel Mr Dominguez charges a fair and reasonable price for his expert services. I will continue to enthusiastically refer my friends and family to him.

Having trouble finding a GOOD lawyer? Your look is OVER!

Mr. Dominguez is by far the best lawyer I have ever hired. He has many years of experience, yet is very up to date on current technology. He provided me with his personal cell number and email, so I could always keep in contact with him during my case. He always answered my calls for the most par...t, but even if he was busy at the moment, he always responded promptly. A few of my cases were a little outside of Lake or Porter County, but he still represented me and showed up to help on a release in nearby Starke County. I can not show my gratitude enough. Not only did I not go to jail for my offense, but after over 13 years of hardship license denial, he was the first lawyer to have an offer thrown in the plea agreement for myself to have the opportunity to acquire a hardship license after only a year of probation. My hat goes off to Mr. Dominguez and his endless efforts. I highly recommend Roy Dominguez to anyone who wants a quality lawyer at very reasonable prices. Thanks again Mr. Dominguez for all you have done. The Law Office of Rogelio Dominguez is the only way to go.

Roy "Michael Jordan" Dominguez

I think its safe Roy Dominguez is the Michael Jordan of the law in northwest IN. He is a very responsive attorney that has more awards and credentials in his field than anyone i have ever met in my life! He has the stature and swagger of a GQ magazine man of the year, and a presence in the courtroom... that is guaranteed to be seen and even felt! To put it simply the name Roy Dominguez rings bells in this town and surrounding cities! I have be trying to get my license fixed/reinstated for years (at least 4) and once roy was hired my drivers status was clear within a 3 month span. and had my finances been in order i feel confident that it would have been even sooner than that! which brings me to my next point. the man may as well be a saint his prices are so reasonable and most importantly flexable! when a legal situation arises, often its not the best time for it according to your bank account roy completly understans this and will work out a payment plan with you that both parties can be comfortable with. If u need a lawyer in the chicagoland area there is none better than Roy D.!

Roy is THE best!

I hired Roy for a major legal issue I am having. First of all Roy responded right away when I first called him with this issue, and even text me! At the time I was not employed and I have a baby on the way so money was very tight. Roy understood this and really worked with me on his fees and gave me... the most reasonable price. He also knew I needed to focus on my home life and get a new job, so he handled everything with my legal matter so I really didn't have to. I only had to go to court one time and Roy even got me out of community service (which would be hard when the baby comes, plus I'm working now) and no probation!!!! Roy handles his cases very seriously and with compassion that cannot be compared to. He also knows the ins and outs of the legal system very well so his experience is not matched by anyone else. I would strongly recommend Roy Dominguez to anyone that is in need of legal representation!!!!

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
