The best choice

After dealing with demanding lawyers and there assistants, it was a great sign when Michael answered my call and talked to me like a caring professional. I was dealing with a tricky case involving 4 tickets that would result in suspended license among fines and points. Through the entire process, I w...as confident I had made the right choice. Michael was always willing to talk no matter what and would always offer the best advice from every angle. My case went to trial and I am glad to say Michael did everything he was supposed to. He stood his ground and had the knowledge and examples to prove it. He ended up getting all the charges dropped and basically helped me through the toughest time of my life. I couldn't be more happy in choosing Michael Justice to represent me, I would definitely recommend. 10/10

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!

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.

Compassionate and Professional

We all know the lawyer jokes and to some degree, believe them. I know I did right up to the point that I dealt with Michael. I had a traffic incident that could have lead to charges. I contacted Michael while still in the midst of a concussion and was probably the worst client ever. I wasn't even e...ntirely sure exactly where I had the accident. Within hours, Michael found out where my car was, briefed me on all the potentials and set up my husband to be able to retrieve my belongings. During the entire process, Michael was reassuring, non-judgmental and sincerely cared about both my physical and emotional well-being. He was fast, responsive and completely professional. Although the situation turned out not to require any court appearance, Michael followed up with me for weeks after the incident, just to make sure I was OK. He set a high bar for attorneys everywhere.

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!
