Definitely recommend

Mr. Roberts was very professional from our first meeting. I explained my case and he told me the charges up front. Hiring Mr. Roberts to handle my case provided instant peace of mind in a very uncertain situation. He always kept me updated on developments and what my options were. Ultimately, he got ...an erpo, a charge, and a complaint dismissed and another downgraded to an ordinance. Very pleased with his work and professionalism throughout the process.

Hands down one of the best Lawyers.

I hired Michael during one of the most difficult times of my life in 2016. Was charged was 2nd degree theft and fencing in Somerville and was facing a 7 year prison sentence. From day one he fought tirelessly for me through filing of motions and proper understanding of case law. He was able to devise... a proper strategy to defend against Somerset County overzealous prosecutors who refused to plea bargain. In the end the case was dropped down from a Class 2 felony to a Disorderly Persons offense in 2022. Probably one of the longest cases in New Jersey , “Deny and Delay, The Jersey Way”. I’m very thankful to him and his office for he truly cares about his clients and the outcomes they receive. Thank you once again.

Best criminal defense lawyer ever!!

Mr. Robert is the best lawyer ever. Period! He saved my life and my family from falling apart. During the 4 month long legal turmoil, Mr. Robert is always there for me, answering questions and providing professional guidance. Not only did he saved me, but he also made pin point suggestions to save my... family. I highly recommend anyone who seeks legal defense to look nobody else than Mr. Micheal Robert. If you are in trouble like I was, please take my advice. Trust me, I was there searching on the internet. This is where your search stops, my friend! Trust his golden suggestions!!

Skilled and Knowledgeable

Michael Roberts is an intelligent, skilled, and knowledgeable attorney. His passion for the law is evident in his work, particularly in courtroom presentations. He represented my 18-year-old son on what was initially a weapons possession case, but by the time he was indicted, it had turned into muc...h more, with the possibility of my son facing more than 7 years of prison time. With Mr. Roberts’ hard work, however, including the use of a private investigator to speak with witnesses, and conversations with the prosecutors, he was able to have the charges amended to a single charge. My son’s case was further complicated when he picked up a second charge while the initial case was still pending. Again, Mr. Roberts was able to get the original charges amended, and in the end, was able to achieve a very positive outcome for my son, by resolving both cases at the same time. Thanks to him, my son will soon (within 6 months) have another chance to prove himself as a good citizen. Also, to mention, although Mr. Roberts remained loyal to my son, as his client, he was also very willing to involve my husband and me, as parents, which we really appreciated. I would sincerely recommend Mr. Roberts to represent anyone involved in a criminal case. He really cares about his clients and puts in the effort.
