Michael Justice

Hired him for 2 municipal court dates that were only about a week away. First question was if he was sure he could make that court date as I wanted to just comply and nicely appear in court, follow the judge's orders, and have it behind me before I left NJ for an undetermined amount of time. Checke...d his calendar and assured me he was. Since time was of the essence I drove his check and other papers up to his office the next day. (not a real office though; no secretaries; you leave paperwork with an unrelated business downstairs. Called and texted him (that's his preferred method of contact) with no response.) Finally reach him today 6 days before my date and he does a total turnaround about being available that day. First his father has a medical appointment, then this is only a first appearance and case is never heard (not true unless your lawyer asks for a new date), becomes irate and offers my check back. We then decide that if he can work out another date with the Court but WITHIN the same week, we could try that and move forward. Ask him to let me know asap the following morning as I would have alot to change in my schedule. 1p.m. no call. I call him to learn that the Court can only move me to the latter part of November (after I am gone out of NJ), shoves me off on another unknown lawyer if he's available, and does all this without even asking me. His excuse for not calling me was that the Court Clerk just was able to speak about 40 minutes ago. I find that weird as anytime I call the Clerk she answered and she was amazingly kind and caring. He continued to belittle me telling me I was stupid to write the "confessions" to the officer involved which was really a letter that the officer told me to write to the Judge. Threatened me that if I wrote a negative review I would be sorry and would not be able to "look at myself in the mirror"??? ( He said my review would ruin his business? One bad review is not going to ruin a lawyer's reputation if the rest of his reviews are different. Mine is my TRUTH. I can look in all my mirrors. Last, I told him if he was so desperate for monies, he could keep my retainer as he must need it more than I do.

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.

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.

I hired Michael Justice after seeing his performance in court one day. His confidence and professionalism was very impressive. My DWI charge seemed grim and I didn't have much hope that hiring a lawyer would do anything besides increase my overall cost. If I lost my license and received jail time, (w...hich would have been mandatory in my case), I was sure I would also lose my job and house. Michael was straightforward and honest about his thoughts on our chances in court. He was very reassuring and his confidence in how to handle my case and what steps to take throughout the process made me worry a lot less. Michael kept me constantly in the loop, he was available to take my calls or text messages. While I was a bundle of nerves on the day of trial, Michael was cool and confident walking into court that day. He seemed to know everyone at the court right down to the police. He stood up for me and fought for me and was able to save my license and keep me out of jail. Without Michael Justice as my lawyer, I know I would not have gotten as great a result. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer.
