Throughout the entire process, Mr. Roman was informative and understanding. If I had a question it was answered truthfully whether it was what I wanted to hear or not. I truly appreciate that in someone's character. When working with an attorney I don't want to be lied to I want the bitter truth good or bad and that is what Mr. Roman will give you. I was honest with him and put my expectations out there. In the end, the outcome was better than either of us had hoped. Thank you again for all you have done for me.- Lee

Attorney Roman helped me with key information about pulling an important report from public records to assist an ongoing case. Although, the report was not retrieved the knowledge he shared about this request was helpful in proceeding further. He was responsive and knowledgeable.

Brian helped us with our son and charges were dismissed. It was a long process and we were very nervous since this was the first time this has ever happened to our family. We appreciated it. This was the first time we had to use a lawyer and he came through in the end. Thanks Brian again. We definitely appreciated your assistance. He may need to get a secretary for some assistance as he seems to have a lot on his plate that’s why he’s so busy because he knows his stuff. Thanks again for helping our son.- Former Client
