How Roy Law Firm works

Personal contact with your attorney

Dayone.

By getting to work immediately, we can often locate favorable evidence and witnesses, and get a head start toward fighting the charges.

i.

We move before the paperwork does.

Waiting for police reports means waiting for the prosecution's version of events. We begin investigating and working up your case immediately.

ii.

We find what the state overlooks.

Early work locates favorable evidence and witnesses while they still exist. That is where a defense is built, not at the first hearing.

iii.

We fight for dismissal before trial.

An aggressive approach has led to many cases being dismissed prior to trial, including Kidnapping and Felony Drug Possession charges.

iv.

We answer the phone.

You will have personal contact with your attorney. When results matter, you should not have to go through a call center to reach the person defending you.

Ten years of recognition, earned one case at a time.
She worked so hard and diligent for me. If you want a lawyer who actually contacts the DA and has a good rapport with the courts she is the one. The law firm she came from is well known as one of the best and that’s how she first became my lawyer. I retained her again for someone else through her law firm and found it was even better than before. Highly recommend her.Michael BichlerGoogle review
