Best attorney

Michael is a very knowledgeable attorney. He worked so hard on my case, and he was always available to answer any of my questions. He is very patient, honest, and supportive. I would definitely recommend Michael to anyone looking for a great attorney.

Absolutely Phenomenal!

When I came to Michael, I was facing serious third degree theft charges. I could have faced prison and a permanently damaged record. Right off the bat, Michael started working diligently on my case. Michael was very patient and was able to provide counsel to all of my matters. He helped me get into t...he PTI program which was the best case scenario. If you're looking for someone who is passionate about law and is willing to fight for the best results, I highly recommend Michael.

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 ...but Mr. Roberts fought hard to get me approved. And through the whole process he was always available to me and keeping me updated on every step. I would definitely recommend him to anyone applying for their gun permit. He really takes pride in his work and will do everything in his power to get you approved.

You are in very good hands.

Michael is a very knowledgeable & very dedicated attorney. He worked aggressively with the prosecution to ensure that my case had the best possible outcome. He & his office are always available, they seemingly go out of their way to make sure you feel comfortable and confident. I would hire... Michael again in a heartbeat & strongly recommend that you do the same.

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...ll known and liked in there. He was very confident throughout the whole process, and was able to get me in a PTI program, which at the culmination of it all charges will be dropped. I truly appreciate the work he did and would highly recommend him to anyone in a similar situation.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
