Testimonials

“Thank you so much for all your efforts on our behalf over these past two years.  I was nervous about the need to engage an attorney, but from the very first phone call you calmed my fears and were always professional, friendly and helpful.  You were available to talk and considered our ideas, I felt that we were a team.  The last year, as the case heated up during litigation, I knew you were prioritizing our case.  And I know you charged only a fraction of what you deserved.  For that I am grateful as well.  The ultimate outcome was so much better than we had expected.  I would happily refer you to anyone in need of an attorney.”

“It was my pleasure to work with Mr. Roesler on a strongly opposed ADA case in Federal court against the Colorado Department of Corrections.  We worked closely through discovery and trial preparation between 2018 and 2020.  He and his staff were always thoughtful, responsive, knowledgeable and courteous.  Mr. Roesler is an astute and insightful attorney, very knowledgable in the law, and protective of the client.  I would definitely recommend John, especially for complicated cases.”

I worked for one year with John Roesler as his paralegal. He was extremely knowledgeable and willing to mentor me. I learned so much from him! During that time as we worked on cases together I witnessed how he gained the trust and confidence of his clients. He was always respectful.  What impressed me the most was that he was passionate about civil rights and had amazing insight into the law. I would recommend him highly.”
