All of them told me basically that they wanted to fully fight the case when all I was trying to do was accept harsher sentencinging in return to keep my class A and class c driver license in order to keep my job and employee housing in luo of accepting harsher sentencing which from what I researched is known as the Hellman dollar Plea Deal. Thelander law told me that with my BAC content charge it was more than likely to lose and to accept my fate when all the others told me they would take my money and basically still lose. My next court date is March 29th and I am representing myself and I will let you all know how the outcome is.- Michael Buczyna 2023

- ★★★★★outstanding attorneyMy daughter was recently charged with misdemeanor hit and run. She was facing incarceration, driver license suspension and fines. There were extenuating circumstances in her case and our family believed that it would be more appropriate for this to be resolved civilly. I needed to find an attorney who I knew would do a thorough investigation and was someone that I could trust. I'm a retired police officer and have worked with numerous attorneys throughout the court system. The first person who came to mind to defend my daughter was Gary Thelander. I reached out to Gary and he worked her case tenaciously and ultimately had the charges dismissed and the matter was handled civilly, all in a timely manner. Her record was cleared of any criminal history. If you find yourself facing criminal charges, I highly recommend that you consult Gary Thelander about your case. My family and I are very satisfied with the positive outcome in her case. This is a direct result of Gary Thelander's extensive knowledge of criminal law, the court system and the fact that he truly cares about his clients.- Posted by Robert | August 13, 2015
