Posted by David | March 02, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Mike went the extra mile!

I hired Michael Justice on behalf of my son who received a traffic ticket in North Warren. Unfortunately, my son has had recent cancer surgery and is now in treatment. We live quite far from where my son received the speeding ticket so it would have been tough for my him to get to court while receivi...ng post surgery treatment. Michael (Mike), really went out of his way to get my son a hardship application so that he could be represented in court without having been in attendance. Michael Justice was able to get the points removed from the offense thus keeping my son's insurance from going up dramatically. Mike's retainer fee was quite fair and my son only had to pay court costs and fines. We are SO happy that we chose Mike to represent my son and we would recommend him to anyone! My son is doing well now and he feels indebted to Mike. Thank you Mike!

Diligently defended me in a CDL legal matter.

Mr. Justice performed admirably in defending me in a messy leaving the scene of an accident ticket. I am a commercial truck driver based out of state. An early morning incident last summer in which my trailer side-swiped a yellow concrete pole and left it leaning, and which I mistakenly did not rep...ort to police resulted in a court case which potentially could have required my attendance. Mr. Justice got things resolved with minor inconvienence on my part, and kept me informed of ongoing developments in a timely fashion. I would recommend him without hesitation.

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.

Alleged careless driving case -- NJ

If you ever need an auto-mechanic who tells you that your car has lost a screw instead of asking you for thousands of dollars to replace the motor I don't know whom to recommend; if you ever need an attorney to put your case in perspective and put your interest first, even before his, I recommend Mic...hael Justice. During a brief consultation I was impressed with his legal and technical knowledge, and above all with his ethics.

Simple Assault charges dropped

I was facing several simple assault charges by the Newton Police, which involved my ex-room mate, who had moved out of state. I never had any problems with the law before and I was very concerned about the possibility of facing jail time. Michael assured me that he would discuss the situation with al...l involved, the plaintiff's attorney as well as public prosecutor and come to a satisfactory agreement. Well, Michael, who is very personable, courteous and professional, did more then I expected, or even hoped for and had all these charges dropped, with only a nominal fine for one charge, that I took responsibility for. I did not even have to attend any probation, or community service, which was incredible news to me! I was extremely happy with how Michael Justice took care of me, putting my ultimate welfare first, and expediting matters so that I could move forward with my life! He is a great Lawyer and a caring person, whom I will recommend to whomever needs sound legal advise and action, on their behalf. Thank you Michael and God Bless you!
