Thorough and professional

I hired Michael Justice to help me with a summons for “dog at large.” The potential fine was subsequently reduced to the best possible outcome. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Michael Justice, he is thorough, professional, and a pleasure to work with.

Gets the job done..

Mike Justice seemed like a straight shooter from the first phone call which gave me a sense of trust to go with him and he turned out to be exactly that.. Its ironic because he stands true to his name, justice must be in his DNA.. Most important were the results as I attained the desired outcome, but... the way he arranged the situation not only resolved the matter earlier then I had ever expected, but it didn't remove me from my daily obligations during Covid19 so it goes to show the ability and effectiveness he has as an attorney under very challenging circumstances no less.. No surprise fees or changes or anything so it goes without saying I'd surely recommend him and he will be my go to attorney should i need one again.. Magic Mike, Mr. Results, (MJ) Michael Jordon of attorneys, it's one of those..

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!!

Did everything he said he would, and more. Successful outcome!

I consulted with 3 different attorneys for my son, then we hired Mike Justice and I'm glad we did. My son's infraction was fairly minor, but led to two expensive tickets being issued. We felt the tickets didn't "fit the crime". Mike Justice offered to handle the case for a lower price than two o...f the other three attorneys I spoke with, and traveled to Morris County to represent my son. We originally saw him in court with a different client, and we were impressed. I noted his name and looked him up. His communications were clear, he used the information we provided, and arranged a plea to a much lower cost, no points charge. While awaiting this resolution, my son received additional tickets for lack of paperwork (ugh!). Mike Justice rolled it all into one appearance, minimized the impact, and didn't increase his fees despite the additional tickets. Would definitely hire him again.

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.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
