Gary L Rohlwing

When I first saw Mr. Rohlwing concerning a criminal case I was arrested for I was scared to my core. I had never been arrested for anything before. I was arrested for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon (my car) against teenage boys I had a restraining order on that had assaulted my teenage da...ughter and constantly harassed my daughter and myself. We were in my vehicle in the neighborhood stopped for a school bus. When the bus left the boys stayed standing in the middle of the road talking to friends in the car. The verbal assaults started from these boys while we were in our vehicle. One put his head in the car window passenger side where my daughter was sitting. She got angry and jumped out of the vehicle after this guy who was 6 foot tall, 200 lbs and 16 years old. I backed out of the roadway to get my daughter back in the vehicle, I was 4 months pregnant at the time. When I parked my vehicle I got out to get my daughter. This 6 foot tall 200 lb teenager started after me 5'1 160 lbs. When my daughter got back into our vehicle we went straight home peeling out and called the police. These teenage boys told the police I was all over the (rounded curb) sidewalk trying to hit them with my vehicle. Unfortunately the one witness we had was scared of these boys and refused to testify for my. The policeman came to my house and started asking me questions as if I were guilty of doing something. I didn't like the way things were going with his questions. He (the policeman) then said I was being accused of something. He refused to tell me what I was being accused of then arrested me because I invoked my constitutional rights of not speaking without an attorney present. When I got the copy of the police report the policeman said I left a 15 foot skidmark on the sidewalk. Well, the day after it happened I had taken video of the sidewalk and the street with street signs to identify the area and gave it to Mr. Rohlwing. He said this video would help my case. But because I didn't have a witness to come forward for me but only the word against me from these boys (5 total), it would be difficult to go to trial and get a not guilty verdict which would mean 6 to 10 years in prison and a felon. Gary Rohlwing suggested I take one of three plea bargains offered to me. He told me to take the plea bargain that would reduce the charge to "Disorderly Conduct" but would put me in jail for 30 days, 3 years community service, drop to a misdemeanor, and be set aside after a certain amount of time, so I took that plea bargain. Seven years later I hired him to have the charges set aside. I received a letter saying the charges were dismissed but the disorderly conduct charge is still on the case in the computer not set aside or dismissed. I called Mr. Rohling and left him a message about it and he never got back to me. The disorderly charges are still there and in the computer for everyone to see. He never completed the job and never got back to me. He was never consoling, but very cold. It's been 17 years since all this has happened and has negatively impacted my life. I paid him to help me and I don't feel he helped me as much as he could have, and ignored me. He worked for the prosecutor in the past, so I wonder if it was a scenario between the prosecutor and Mr. Rohlwing where "you scratch my back and I'll scratch your back" everyone wins, except me the client.

When I chose Gary Rohlwing as my advocate, I was scared to death about facing the consequences of my own foolishness. In our first meeting, Mr. Rohlwing agreed to take my case, eased my fears, and laid out a plan for dealing with the difficult situation that I was in. As the case unfolded, Gary was... there every step of the way. He did what he said he would do. In the end, the case turned out as well as I could have expected. I would recommend Gary Rohlwing to any potential client, and I would rehire him again if the situation should arise.

I hired Mr. Rohlwing for an extreme DUI case. The outcome was very positive clearly due to his effort and expertise. He was always reachable and had excellent communication. His fee was reasonable and was very understanding to our needs and concerns. We are pleased with the outcome.Good job Gary....

I hired Gary Rohlwing for an underage dui that i was charged with two years ago. Gary was consistently available whenever i had any questions and was organized and helpful throughout the entire process. I was very pleased with the outcome of the court case and would only recommend Gary to anyone that... is in need of an attorney.
