Most adventageous outcome given the cirumstances - Tenacious Attorney

Michael represented me on three charges of which two were dismissed and the third was reduced. The dismissed charges and reduced charge of the third offense was due to his strategy and thoughtful approach to the overall matter. He demonstrated a professional approach at all times and was always avail...able for consultation. I did not anticipate his ability to achieve these results. I would recommend an initial consultation to recognize he'll be your best option for an attorney to represent your matter. An accomplished professional attorney.

Criminal Charges December 2013

I was charged with possession of controlled dangerous substance, possession of paraphernalia, etc the beginning of December 2013 in Sparta. Then two weeks later in Mount Olive with similar charges. I've had Mr. Justice retained as my lawyer for the past five years and he's always miraculously had my ...charges dropped, degraded, and acquired least consequential outcomes. This past recent occurrences that I mentioned landed me with conditional discharge at 21 years old for a year and $1000 in fines, the best I ever could have gotten for my charges. Mr. Justice had the two courts consolidated to just Sparta Township and took the best care I could ever have imagined on the cases. Mr. Justice has an amazing personality with a super generous, friendly attitude where I felt completely trustworthy of him and for that I'm forever grateful. This coming week I will be dismissed from my conditional discharge (probation) and I can continue with my life in high spirits.

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.
