I had a previous lawyer before I was told about Mr Roach, what a difference he was. Mr Roach listened to my problems, didn't try to rush me out the door, didn't overcharge me, and made me feel comfortable with next steps in order to fix my situation. I would 100% recommend Mr Roach to anyone who needs help in their personal situations

I needed the advise of an attorney for my 15 year old grandson, and could not be happier that I met with Mr. Roach. He knows the law, is good at what he does, is confident, always had time for us, was honest, and to top it all off, he is a wise man. I believe he takes pride in his work and tries hard for those who need him. I rate him a 10.

I have had Steve as my lawyer for the past 5 years and he is the best attorney in town. He's a great guy, hardworking, and makes you feel at ease throughout the court process. I've referred him to a few people and, they've all said he is the best. Everybody was found not guilty!

Through the assistance of Mr. Steven Roach I was provided an extension of opportunity. For many years I had been limited, and unfairly excluded from certain employment opportunities. Even though I was accomplished, I had a record from over 20 years ago. Mr. Roach proved to be an excellent counsel during my pursuit to correct mistakes from years past. He answered every email and returned my phone calls. He proved to be a concerned and dedicated asset in my behalf. Thank you Mr. Roach for believing in me!

I could tell Steve was a high class lawyer from our first conversation. We were choosing an attorney and I purposely brought my wife to the meetings to get her opinion. Out of a few lawyers, Roach was the only one that both of us liked. He was flexible with time, met us when I called last minute, and was straight up and honest (unlike others who were putting on theatrics, giving a sales pitch, or wanted commitment before first meeting). Steve has charm and is pleasant to work with. Recommended!

There is no doubt in my mind, Steve is the best lawyer you can have on your side to defend you! I had a DUI charge against me last year. Its a very stressful time, but meeting with Steve for the first time to review my case, he sat and explained all of what could happen, and how he was going to defend me after going thru the evidence and my side of the incident. I felt 100% confident after listening to him, because of his vast knowledge of the laws and procedures that were involved. He took the time to answer any questions I had,and gave me all the time I needed. He prepared me before every court appearance to exactly what to expect so I wouldn't be nervous or stressed. He always returned my calls as quickly as he could. I was able to get my license back because of his experience and comprehension of the laws and my rights. The day of the trial, we compared notes and had all the facts together for a strong defense. Steve"s litigation and intelligent questions brought up many discrepancies in prosecutions testimonies. We won my case and I was cleared! Steve did an amazing job. I can say without a doubt, Steve is the best lawyer you will find to defend and help you for your legal matters.

My drivers license was suspended for 15 years! It was quite a burden. I bounced around through dozens of lawyers through the years, and they all told me I couldn't get my D.L back, but Steven Roach did his homework, and found a way to get back my License. He changed my life...

Availed his great services when I was charged for DUI. Very professional and extremely knowledgeable. When we met betw. court dates he paid good attention to every detail of the incident, Charge docs, etc before he prepared his defense for me. Due to my important-personal-reasons I wanted him to wrap this case up ASAP. Steve, literally chased the court proceedings and won the case. I would greatly recommend Steve Roach for anyone who need legal services. Bottom line -Gr8 results in Short time
