Posted by John | August 27, 2019 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Honest, genuine and straightforward. Can't say enough good things about Mr. Royle.

I hired Bret to represent me in a second offense DUI resulting in a felony charge. From the moment I met with him he was helpful and straightforward about my situation. My career requires me to travel and live out of state pretty much year round. I came to Bret in hopes that he could get the felony c...harges dropped, as that makes finding housing a nightmare, as well as getting me unsupervised probation so I could continue to travel and make a living. He was upfront and honest with me through the entire process and delivered on all my major requests. Two years later and my probabtion/felony charges are due to get dropped and Bret has stayed in contact and helped me the entire time. I cannot say enough good things about him as an attorney and a human being. If you want incredible and personalized representation look no further.

Bret Royle #1

After visiting with a couple of lawyers and calling a few others, I was referred to Bret Royle by a friend who was in a similar position I was in. Right away I could sense how knowledgeable of a lawyer he was and how he approached my case with such a down-to-earth kind of attitude, really inspiration...al. Throughout the entire process and beyond it, Bret was ALWAYS super responsive and just a phone call/text away, no matter how short notice it was or how busy he was. Bret always made time for me in his busy schedule. Him and his colleagues are all very professional with a beautiful office! Bret Royle is second to none in my experiences and I wouldn't recommend anyone else, the same thing my friend said too.

Top Notch Representation

I've had other lawyers that were adequate, compared to the service and results I received from Bret Royle of Feldman & Royle it was night and day. The staff always helped with my questions, providing assistance and coordinating with me to ensure the best results. I was particularly impressed with Bre...t's responsiveness, he returned my calls quickly and always responded with clarity and professionalism that others of any profession can only hope to match. I'm so glad I was referred to Feldman & Royle, and the outcome in my case was better than I had hoped and allowed me to move forward worry free. An expert attorney who guided me through my case with top notch results, if you ever find yourself in need of a defense attorney, Feldman & Royle will be there for you.

Not Only an Attorney - But a Fierce Advocate

Bret Royle, in a sense, saved my brother’s life. He was facing 10-12 years with an appointed Public Defender who wasn’t even a criminal lawyer, who missed glaring errors that would’ve cost my brother years inside. We were desperate for some guidance and Bret allowed us to pick his brain before even r...etaining him. He answered every text message and returned every single phone call. Mind you we live in a different state, so communication regarding my brother’s defense was critical in mitigating his situation. We were already feeling defeated and frustrated with the appointed Public Defender. The lack of knowledge, communication and sheer ethic to defend became glaringly obvious in contrast to the service we were receiving from Bret Royle. We don’t come from a lot of money and paying for an attorney never seemed feasible until we realized what was at risk. We rallied the troops and did what we could to secure Bret at Feldman & Royle. Within weeks, Bret had the case dissected, understood and strategized a bargain with the DA that resulted in a deal of 3 years with a stipulation of parole after 2. I can assure you that never would’ve happened with the Public Defender. We’ve learned a lot from working with Bret, but he also restored our faith in humanity by treating our family with patience and compassion. When you get him on the phone, he will make you feel as if nothing else matters in that moment than talking to you. He’s a gift and I would adamantly recommend him to anyone looking for a solid, thorough defense.

Fantastic lawyer with a heart

After being referred to Bret Royle by friends in similar situations, I have to say that his professional attitude and understanding during one of the most difficult times in my life has shown that he is not only a great lawyer, but a terrific person. When I called him, I was in desperate need of lega...l counsel and he was available immediately to offer help. Throughout the entire process, he was a phone call away and never hesitated to take heed of my situation and help. I could not recommend a more professional and thoughtful lawyer to represent anyone during their own legal hardships. If you're looking for a knowledgeable lawyer who understands what you might be going through, look no further.
