Amazing

Michael Justice was referred to me by other lawyers who didn't have much expertise in the area that I needed. But Michael Justice sure did!! He is extremely knowledgeable and efficient. Having practiced in Sussex county for many years, he has experienced case's in many of the court's. He is highly r...espected by his peers. I am so extremely greatful he was my lawyer!!

Highly Recommend

I hired Mr. Justice based off the positive reviews I had seen online and I am very happy I did. He handled my case quite quickly and much easier than I had thought it would be. I definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney to properly defend you.

Posted by Paul | October 06, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Got my 18 yr old son a clean Slate!

My son foolishly got caught speeding in a school zone 50 mph over the speed limit. As this required and automatic court appearance I knew we would be facing probably 4 points and very likely a suspension. I searched and saw these kind of violations are a specialty for Michael Justice. Michael was c...ourteous, professional and guided us thru 2 court appearances and amazingly got all points reduced to zero and no suspension! I think his fee was reasonable considering what the outcome could have meant for us. Living in NJ points and surcharges are brutal so getting a clean slate was absolutely a gift! I'm very grateful for Michael's ability to help us out and I would recommend him to anyone that has any vehicle violation.

My savior for many years!

I cannot explain how grateful I am for Mr. Justice. Unfortunately, I have had a few run ins with the law in my early 20's that he was able to represent me and win. These ranged from speeding tickets to assault and domestic violence issues. Not only did Mr. Justice keep me out of jail, & I got to k...eep my drivers license but most importantly he also mentored me and made me realize that I should be living a different life style, than a "rebel". It will lead me no where in life & for this I am very grateful. Throughout the process I have never felt pressured or he was slacking off on my case. I was at ease and had full confidence in him. He has stood behind me and he earned my trust. I believe if it wasn't for Mr.Justice, my life would be very different! I will continue to send anyone who is looking for a fantastic, hard working, honest lawyer his way!

Criminal Charges December 2013

I was charged with possession of controlled dangerous substance, possession of paraphernalia, etc the beginning of December 2013 in Sparta. Then two weeks later in Mount Olive with similar charges. I've had Mr. Justice retained as my lawyer for the past five years and he's always miraculously had my ...charges dropped, degraded, and acquired least consequential outcomes. This past recent occurrences that I mentioned landed me with conditional discharge at 21 years old for a year and $1000 in fines, the best I ever could have gotten for my charges. Mr. Justice had the two courts consolidated to just Sparta Township and took the best care I could ever have imagined on the cases. Mr. Justice has an amazing personality with a super generous, friendly attitude where I felt completely trustworthy of him and for that I'm forever grateful. This coming week I will be dismissed from my conditional discharge (probation) and I can continue with my life in high spirits.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
