From an early age I knew that I wanted to represent the criminally accused. The interaction between people, the police, and the courts always fascinated me. There are no higher stakes than fighting to save a person's freedom and in some instances their life.
I think that the American Prison System has failed. Far too many people are incarcerated for non-violent offenses and drug crimes. More resources need to be spent on education and rehabilitation and less money on incarceration.
I recognize that people make mistakes and they deserve second chances. All too often the police, prosecutors and judges, just want to rush through a case and go directly to punishment. As an advocate for the criminally accused, it's my honor to tell the story of my client. Often defendants are over-charged and there is usually an explanation for what they did. It's my job to slow the process down, to investigate the case, to talk to my clients, and to get the judge or the jury to listen.

Gun permit Approved
I went to Mr Roberts to assist me in getting my Fire Arms I.D. Card. He was very knowledgable about the laws to be approved. After discussing my case he was honest and informative with me and told me it might not be easy. It took some time due to the NJ state police and how they file the paperwork ...

Would not hesitate to hire again
One of the best decisions I have made was hire Mr. Roberts. I was in a very bad situation, facing a 3rd degree burglary charge. I realized the DA was not taking it lightly when I received a plea deal for 3 years DOC. However, Mr. Roberts was able to work his magic in the court room. He seemed very we...
"Mike is an outstanding criminal defense attorney who works hard to obtain the best results for his clients."
"You will never find an attorney as dedicated to his clients as Mike Roberts is. I've worked with Mike for 3 years so far and every day he goes above and beyond what most attorneys do for their clients. He is knowledgable, smart, and works extremely hard to get the results he does. I would highly recommend him in any criminal or municipal matter. I'm proud to know him and work with him. When he won the 2015 Middlesex County Young Lawyer of the Year, it was well deserved."
