Bob is an excellent attorney

I had a very minor criminal issue that I hired Mr. Oleisky for. Although it was very minor, I could tell that Mr. Oleisky took it as serious as any other case. My first contact with Mr. Oleisky came through a consultation form I filled it during a weekday night. He replied to me within the hour to se...t up a free consultation over the phone the next morning. I was extremely impressed with how fast he replied to me and was not expecting a reply until the next day at the very earliest, if not later. The next day we spoke about my case and he never put any pressure on me to hire him as an attorney. He spoke to me about the best options to defend this case and gave up several options I could go with without hiring him or any other attorney. He came me a price at the end of the conversation of how much it would cost to retain him if I wanted to hire him. In the end, I ended up hiring up the next day. He kept in communication with me every step of the way and got the ball moving on things right away. In the end, he was able to get my charges reduced to what I wanted and I was able to move up with my life. I would recommend him to anyone seeking a criminal defense attorney.

This is the guy you need to hire!

I can not say enough good things about the level of professionalism of this lawyer. Unfortunately I have had to use lawyers for many different things ranging from family law to criminal law. Bob is very professional, responded to all of my concerns frivolous or not. There is not a place or person in ...the entire criminal justice system in this city that does not know and respect this lawyer. He is very knowledgeable and he can weigh out several different factors you may not be considering including which judge you have or don't have etc. In my last case I even considered hiring a "celebrity" lawyer because the stakes were very high. I decided to stick with the solid results I've seen in the past with Mr. Oleisky and couldn't be more happy with the results. To me it's a clear choice and I would not hesitate to call this guy if I have ANY legal troubles again!

Just amazing

Bob Oleisky has been an amazing attorney to work with. He was very good and very helpful with a misdemeanor DUI 7 years ago. But what has consistently impressed me has his continued dedication to his clients. This bit of criminal history has created some current issues with getting a visa to travel t...o Canada. He has gone out of his way numerous times to aid me via phone and email by answering questions and provided advice. He has consistently made time for me on the phone and even written a letter on my behalf, almost a decade after I was a paying client. I cannot say enough good things about him or the legal services he has provided. I would retain his services and recommend him to friends, family and complete strangers without reservation.

An attorney who's Honest, responsive, and looking out for the best interest in his client.

I recently had a legal issue that I 1) was not guilty of and 2) thought I would have no chance of getting it kept off my record. I was hesitant and considering just pleading guilty to the charges. I took a moment to think and sought the advise from friends and family, of what to do. They said I sh...ould fight the charges that I should find a quality attorney and fight for your rights. There were so many choices on which attorney to use, so I asked a family member who works with attorneys and judges, who she would use if she got into trouble. Before I could finish the question. She had a name for me. Robert Oleisky. She has seen him multiple times in court, seen how courteous, respectful, and how prosecutors and other attorneys held such a high regard for him. After I heard what she said I proceeded to call him and set up an appointment. I had a court date already set and after talking with him and a few other attorneys, I just saw something in Mr. Oleisky that made me feel that he would be by far the best attorney to look out for my best interests and defend me, so I decided to retain the services of Mr. Oleisky. To my absolute surprise, and delight, I soon received a call then an email that I would not only not have to go to court, and need to take valuable time off from work, and able to get the charges dismissed. His immediate response to my needs, His courteous behavior, His respectful demeanor, and his ability to litigate my case to a successful completion, without the need to go to trial, inspired me to tell others of how good of a Attorney Mr. Oleisky is. If I ever had need for an Attorney again, or have any friends, family, or relatives, who need the services of an Attorney, I would not hesitate at all in referring Robert Oleisky as an attorney.
