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.

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

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.

CDL Protection

Mr. Justice was very helpful in advising me on what to do with the 3 charges that were given to me. He was able to get 1 of the charges dropped and the other 2 reduced, so that I would not get any points put on my license...I must say that Mr. Justice fought hard for me in my defense on what was bein...g charged against me...Also well informed me with what was going to take place before entering the court room, as well as enlightening me on what I was going to have to do after we pleaded my case with emphasis I may add...Overall I could easily keep speaking on what Mr. Justice did for me and how helpful he was in handling my case with letting me know what was goin on...I would also like to say Mr. Justice will keep you calm at all times because of his demeanor

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.
