I worked with Mr. DeLorenzo who was a great attorney and was able to keep me updated throughout the entire case. He was able to get my criminal case dismissed within a very short and reasonable amount of time. I would highly recommend reaching out for their services.

I spoke with Chris Rolle regarding my non-compete. He was quick to respond, giving me a free phone consultation. Our conversation gives me the confidence I need to finally start my LLC. He acted both as a lawyer and a mentor regarding business law. Definitely recommend.

I am so thankful that I chose Michael Dempsher of Rolle and Delorenzo for my divorce proceedings. From the absolute very beginning, Michael was honest and straight forward. I never felt sold, I never felt like my money was being wasted. I could tell that Michael genuinely cared about my case, and what was legally right. Because of him, my children get to have a meaningful relationship with me, their father after a year of them being without cause, taken from me by their mother. In my honest opinion, there...

Chris Rolle and his team are honest people. I felt confident going into legal proceedings with their representation. I was pleased with the result of my case, and I felt that Mr. Rolle took steps to minimize extraneous billable hours and therefore keep my fees reasonable. His paralegal Meg is very nice to work with as well.

We recently hired Jim DeLorenzo as our attorney. It was last minute but thank God we did! He met us at Frederick courthouse within just 3 hours of notice. My husband was charged with 1st and 2nd degree assault by the police officer (will not get into details) and arrested. The very next day, Jim met us in court and was able to get my husband released on Bail which is nearly impossible however, my husband did not have any priors. Long story short…Jim was able to arrange a plea...

Michael Dempsher is fantastic. He took my case with only a few days notice and won! Mike explained exactly what I needed to do and was a straight shooter from start to finish. What I appreciated the most was that he genuinely appeared to care about my situation and what I was going through. I highly recommend him to anyone living in the Frederick area.

I cannot thank Michael Dempsher enough for taking on our case. He was honest about the potential outcome and I cannot be more pleased. If you are hesitant to retain a lawyer, don’t be! I would use Michael in the future .

Mike Dempsher was wonderful. He fought hard for me, and held my case together, even through courtroom drama. My case ended with a successful result. It felt good to have someone on my side supporting me every step of the way. I am very grateful for him and would definitely hire him again!
