Professional, courteous and effective

Once again Michael was able to help me keep my driver's license. I hired Mike to represent me at a DMV license suspension hearing stemming from a 5 point reckless driving ticket. I was looking at a 270 day license suspension. I left the hearing with only having to attend a driver improvement class. T...his was the second time Mike helped me keep my license, too. The first time, I received just a warning. He is a miracle worker in my opinion. If you need to save your driver's license, contact Michael Justice.

Reckless and speed ticket

Michael helped me too much, he represented me in speeding and reckless driving ticket. He was able defend my driver license and save me some points on my record. I would 100% recommend this attorney.

Did everything he said he would, and more. Successful outcome!

I consulted with 3 different attorneys for my son, then we hired Mike Justice and I'm glad we did. My son's infraction was fairly minor, but led to two expensive tickets being issued. We felt the tickets didn't "fit the crime". Mike Justice offered to handle the case for a lower price than two o...f the other three attorneys I spoke with, and traveled to Morris County to represent my son. We originally saw him in court with a different client, and we were impressed. I noted his name and looked him up. His communications were clear, he used the information we provided, and arranged a plea to a much lower cost, no points charge. While awaiting this resolution, my son received additional tickets for lack of paperwork (ugh!). Mike Justice rolled it all into one appearance, minimized the impact, and didn't increase his fees despite the additional tickets. Would definitely hire him again.

Mike went the extra mile!

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!

Diligently defended me in a CDL legal matter.

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.
