William Roelke

Bill's legal career began when he was selected out of law school to clerk for renowned federal district judge Anthony A. Alaimo. Under Judge Alaimo’s mentorship, Bill gained his unique understanding of how judges think and decide cases. Bill will use that knowledge and insight early in your case to file available pretrial motions to help weaken, and possibly outright defeat, the prosecution’s case against you. Bill will also use his insight into the judicial process to advise you as to whether going to trial or accepting any plea offers is in your best interest. Before opening his current firm, Bill was a partner at Fallgatter Farmand & Roelke where he represented his clients in criminal cases in both state and federal courts. In addition to being an experienced criminal defense lawyer, Bill has substantial experience in complex, high stakes business litigation at prestigious international and regional law firms. If your case involves business transactions or activities, Bill will use his business law experience to help demonstrate your innocence or otherwise explain why you shouldn't be criminally prosecuted.
