Michael Justice

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!

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.

Hired him for 2 municipal court dates that were only about a week away. First question was if he was sure he could make that court date as I wanted to just comply and nicely appear in court, follow the judge's orders, and have it behind me before I left NJ for an undetermined amount of time. Checke...d his calendar and assured me he was. Since time was of the essence I drove his check and other papers up to his office the next day. (not a real office though; no secretaries; you leave paperwork with an unrelated business downstairs. Called and texted him (that's his preferred method of contact) with no response.) Finally reach him today 6 days before my date and he does a total turnaround about being available that day. First his father has a medical appointment, then this is only a first appearance and case is never heard (not true unless your lawyer asks for a new date), becomes irate and offers my check back. We then decide that if he can work out another date with the Court but WITHIN the same week, we could try that and move forward. Ask him to let me know asap the following morning as I would have alot to change in my schedule. 1p.m. no call. I call him to learn that the Court can only move me to the latter part of November (after I am gone out of NJ), shoves me off on another unknown lawyer if he's available, and does all this without even asking me. His excuse for not calling me was that the Court Clerk just was able to speak about 40 minutes ago. I find that weird as anytime I call the Clerk she answered and she was amazingly kind and caring. He continued to belittle me telling me I was stupid to write the "confessions" to the officer involved which was really a letter that the officer told me to write to the Judge. Threatened me that if I wrote a negative review I would be sorry and would not be able to "look at myself in the mirror"??? ( He said my review would ruin his business? One bad review is not going to ruin a lawyer's reputation if the rest of his reviews are different. Mine is my TRUTH. I can look in all my mirrors. Last, I told him if he was so desperate for monies, he could keep my retainer as he must need it more than I do.

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.
