Successfully obtained a F.R.O. for me

I hired Michael Roberts of Roberts & Teeter as my attorney for my case to obtain a F.R.O.. I am extremely pleased with his services as he very successfully obtained a very necessary F.R.O. to protect me from my ex. Michael was very patient with all my many questions and concerns throughout the whole ...process and made me much more at ease. Most importantly, Michael took initiative during my hearing day to convince the judge to take my case when they were about to postpone it to a later date. I felt very confident of my case with Michael at my side. He was very professional while also having an approachable and soothing demeanor. I would definitely recommend Michael Roberts to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and successful attorney. If I ever need an attorney in the future, I will definitely hire him again. Thanks to Michael, I can feel protected and safe.

Consistently the best representation money can buy

Unfortunately, I have had to use Mr. Roberts services numerous times. He has never let me down! I never have a doubt that Michael will secure the best outcome possible for me.

Achieved the Impossible

Without going into too much detail about my case, Mr. Roberts achieved what was considered an impossible outcome for cases like mine. He was incredibly professional throughout the entire process and the staff at his firm were very helpful with sending out reminders of upcoming court dates. Although h...e is on the more youthful end of the spectrum regarding attorneys, he is an up and coming all-star to keep an eye on. Furthermore, his passion for wanting to help Rutgers students through their legal issues, as well as being a mentor for them, was the deciding factor in my choice of attorney. I highly recommend that you hire Mr. Roberts because he will take care of you and always keep your best interest in mind.

A Welcome Settlement

I had an interesting DUI case due to the fact that I was not in an accident and was not pulled over. An incident had happened around me, and the officer that arrived on scene detected alcohol on my breath. I was hopeful to have the case thrown out, but Michael explained to me how difficult that is. E...ven though I was barely over the legal limit, Michael provided me with clear direction and identified the best way to approach the case, in spite of being in front of a notoriously difficult judge. Michael was able to negotiate with the prosecutor to come to an agreement. Michael's negotiations reduced the sentence significantly to 3 months loss of license and a careless driving ticket. If not for Michael, I would have faced a year without a license and substantial fines. Michael's fees were a bit higher than a number of other lawyers I had consulted with, but I can't argue with the results.

Thank you for the positive review. It is very difficult to turn DWI into something else. Fortunately, in this instance the facts and the law worked in your favor.
