Posted by Tony DelMonte | December 27, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Gun Law

Genuinely dedicated

I had hired Mr Roberts to appeal a FID denial in NJ. I was very impressed with his attention to detail and knowledge regarding this matter. What would separate him from other attorneys is the flat rate that was charged (which not including separate court fees) is fairly priced and has no hidden expen...ses. Also his availability to answer questions and concerns, as well as reliability was outstanding. On top of it all, the appeal was successfully granted. I would highly recommend Mr Roberts as an attorney and am very satisfied with his work.

Lifesaver

I was facing serious charges that amounted to 10 years in prison. I knew in my soul I did not deserve what was being deliberated. Suffering from addiction, I made very bad decisions which caused these events. I was able to get a year of continuous sobriety and began working a program of recovery. Mr.... Roberts believed me and was on my side every step of the way. I trusted him during this really frightening period of my life. He was able to get all my charges dismissed and closed my case with no convictions. He answered all my questions, honestly. I was so lucky to have hired him. Finally today I'm able to out everything behind me and move forward. He is my first recommendation to anyone seeking counsel. You won't be sorry.

Highly Recommend Obtaining Micheal Roberts as Counsel

I had a great experience retaining Mike as counsel for a couple different cases over the years. Overall, Mike proved to be diligent, creative in his approach and overall, made me feel very comfortable with my positioning/situation, thus saving me a lot of time and stress knowing that I was in good ha...nds. Ultimately, he was successful in resolving my cases resulting in significantly reduced fines, saving me thousands of dollars and weeks of time. I cannot thank Mike enough for the great work he has done for me and I will definitely use his services again in the future.

Helpful and Confident

Mr. Roberts was very helpful with keeping calm and making sure that I knew what I was getting into when dealing with my specific situation. He laid everything out with a rough outline of a timeline to make sure that I knew where everything would be headed and how it occurred. He made sure to lay out ...all options and exhaust each one until I was given a choice on what I wanted to do. He also was easy to talk to and made sure that I personally was okay during and after my situation. Mr. Roberts is a confident lawyer and I would recommend him.

Top notch legal service at affordable prices

As a client of Mike Roberts I knew that I was receiving top notch service from day one. His knowledge of the law is sharp as a tack and he is an expert in the field. Furthermore, he was very responsive, always listened and provided the best council he could - he puts his clients interests first and f...oremost. Mike is very effective in the courtroom and will fight hard for the best outcome - all at a very affordable price! I have recommended Mike to friends and family and will continue to do so.

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.
