Simple Assault

Mike listened to me and explained options about the case... It was dismissed because he argued the case to the prosecutor!! I would definitely use Mike again it was pretty seamless ‼️

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.

DUI

Michael Justice did a tremendous job on my case. I'm really grateful. He got me out of 7 Tickets and almost out of the DUI as well, the charge got reduced to the minimum. Thank you Michael

Expected Outcome

Thoughtful and compassionate during initial consultation. Put me at ease. Desired and expected outcome, however, didn't feel like he had my back when at court. Didn' t make me at ease. Was not present when called to bench first time with no explanation. Seemed late and distracted. Needed to be ...called back to court and another day. Impression of not being an important client; seemed aloof and distracted with other cases. Outcome was what was discussed, though. Kudos!. And Michael attended to detail, but subsequent communication during my legal need didn't seem to follow great initial consultation resulting in unnecessary stress. Wanted to FEEL he was there for me.
