About Roland
Biography
What I love about being an attorney is that I get to fight for fairness. Ever since I can remember I grew up with a sense of what was fundamentally right and what was fundamentally wrong, fariness was an important concpet to me, fairness has remained an important concept for me.
As an attorney, my work gives me the opportunity to fight for fairness on a daily basis, and I can not think of a better way to spend my time. I can't count the number of times a potential client has come to me and said, "I support the police, I think they have a tough job to do, I dont protest them, but they did not treat me right when they charged me with this crime." I can relate to that reaction. What a lot of pepole don't realize, until they are charged with a crime, is that often times the police and prosecutors make snap judgements. They look at just a portion of facts or events and make a decision. When that decision results in an arrest and criminal charges it can be devistating to the perosn charged. People also dont realize that police officers can lie to poeple they are investigating, they can attempt to gather infomration by prentending to be on your side, or engaging a person in seemingly unimportant conversation. Likewise, a police officer can spin observations to make them more subjective thereby bolstering thier own view of a case. These things happen when people are arrested, and it always hits people like a ton of bricks when they realize what is happening.
My job is to fight for you and your rights. The United States Consitution guarantees due process and fuindamental fairness. That means that when the police or prosecutor attempt to twist facts and subjectivly apply evidence, you have the right to present the entire story and question their unfair presentation of the case. To me, that is an honorable profession to dedicate ones life to, and I am proud to do that on a daily basis. With every client I look forwrad to listening to thier side of the story and working with them to gather evidence the police did not want to find, or ignored. I develop strategies desinged to help us negotiate with the prosecutor and prepare the case for trial. I work to make sure that fairness is not lost in the judical system.
I'm proud to be an attorney, and I'm proud to work for people who need a voice and person to stand up for them.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.
Poor listening skills!
I just spoke to Mr. Rillos and attempted to explain to him multiple times that my brother willingly placed an in car breathalyzer in his vehicle years ago to prevent him from getting a DUI. He repeatedly attempted to explain that that could not be the case and I must be incorrect. After the fourth ti...

Replied last March 30, 2022This is a post from a person who was not a client. He called and asked me to give a consultation on his brothers case. A few comments he has made are incorrect. He never explained that he knew the ignition interlock device was on voluntarily to avoid another DUI. I also never told him that people can’t voluntarily put an ignition interlock on a vehicle. As part of consultations, in order to give the best advice possible, I spend time talking to the person who calls about the case. I ask questions related to the case to help me, and eventually them, understand the different scenarios that could occur. These questions were the thorn in this person’s side. I asked him how he knew his brother’s ignition interlock device was on voluntarily. He responded by saying he didn’t know but that he was certain. I explained that an iid is not commonly put on voluntarily, and that if it was a required device it could have an impact on the case, knowing for certain if the device is required would help me understand the case better. I again asked if he knew for sure it was voluntarily on and how. He became upset. I explained in more detail what was important about that question and he hung up. In some circumstances people feel like they have the ability to control a consultation, or force an attorney to accept certain statements as fact. The questions that I ask and the work that I do is for the benefit of my clients and potential clients. I will always have in depth consultations and I will always push for as reliable information as possible. I believe my thoroughness is an attribute to my practice. If someone does not agree then I may not be the attorney for them. In his case, he continued to text me after he hung up and threatened to leave negative reviews. I wished his brother luck in his situation and advised him that another attorney would be best. I also explained that the negative review he threatened would be responded to appropriately.

Replied last March 30, 2022This review is anonymous. Thus, there can be no meaningful response with regards to the perceived complaint. I will note that the statement indicates, “...they will force and threaten you to sign to dismiss..” Diversion plea offers can be a meaningful and positive resolution in a case. With a diversion plea offer a client will enter a plea, then will have to complete certain terms to in order to have the case dismissed. In most cases, these resolutions are desirable, as they allow a charge to be dismissed and the client completely controls the ability to have the case dismissed, so long as they complete the terms of the agreement. Thus, it can be a guaranteed dismissal. Some clients, despite, knowing that there case will be dismissed, are still upset by the fact that they are being told their chances at winning at trial are low compared to the dismissal. For whatever reason they believe that my advocating to get a dismissal of their case is not doing my job. I will always seek the best results for the client. A dismissal of charges is a great result. Additionally, no client is ever forced to enter into an agreement. The Court will always ask a client if they are acting on their own free will. If a client does not want to do something they do not have to. Attorneys cannot force them. If clients behave improperly towards staff and towards me I will tell them that the behavior will not be tolerated and they will have to find a new attorney. However, usually we can work something out. In this review it appears the client was offered a diversion plea to have their case dismissed. It also appears as though they were having trouble understanding that a dismissal is a good resolution. I’m happy they were able to have their charges dismissed. As to their disappointment, all I can say is I tried my best to put them in a better position after the case then when they came to me, and a dismissal of charges is that.
