Posted by Joseph | April 06, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Delivered as promised

I engaged Mr. Justice's services for a traffic ticket in Newton, NJ that would have ended up costing me a lot of money in increased insurance fees, not to mention the fine itself. Mr. Justice got the charge modified to one with a lesser fine and significantly fewer points, exactly as we had discussed... in our initial consultation. He was friendly and professional throughout, delivered exactly what he promised, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

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!

Very Professional and Supportive Law Firm

I would definitely have to give Michael Justice and his law firm a rating of 5 stars on how superb and knowledgeable he was as my defense attorney. He has a calming personality and demeanor that assured my family and I that he would be his best.... And that he did! Mr. Justice knew the severity of my... case and situation and he was successful in getting the best deal for me! He was able to significantly minimize the consequences due to his extensive knowledge in DUI/DWI law and supported my family and I every step of the way. Thank you for your service and helping me maintain my integrity, lifestyle and freedom. I would highly recommend the Michael Justice Firm to anyone who should need legal services.

DWI Lawyer

When receiving my DWI, I was lost and scared on what would happen to me and my record. After some searching I came across Michael. He was extremely knowledgeable, and made me feel better about the entire situation. I would definitely recommend him to anyone. He did all he could to lessen the charg...es and I am grateful to him for it.

Speeding ticket

If you are looking for a professional attorney with knowledge of traffic laws - Michael is your guy ! This is probably one of the easiest attorney service that I've used. Mike handled two speeding/traffic tickets for me in the past year and reduced points to zero. Thank you for all hard work! I r...eally appreciated!

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.
