"We hired Roelke Law group for a family member who was facing a DUI / Impaired charge. The moment, I contacted William Roelke, he advised me that he would be attending the arraignment that afternoon for our family member. The next call we received was advising us how much we needed for their bond. Mr. Roelke attended every pre trail session and advised us at every step during the case. Mr. Roelke is extremely knowledgeable with DUI / Impairment case. The best thing I liked about Mr. Roelke he’s doesn’t play the “What If game”. When he talks to you it’s about facts of the case. After intense negotiations he was able to have case downgraded to Reckless driving and a withhold of adjudication. Extremely happy with his law firm."
