Reviews:

Warrior's spirit

'Mr. Roelse truly is a law magician. I could not have done for myself what my lawyer Mr. Roelse did. He represented me in a case, that left me with no hope. To win against the Dutch Prosecutor's Office required not only a deep understanding of criminal law, it required a warrior's spirit. Roelse stood by me, at all times. He is easy to get along with, is available at áll times and welcomed my family on a Sunday morning. What Mr. Roelse has done for me, I will never forget.' - client (2023)
