Thank You

I am writing this review to express my gratitude for the exceptional services provided by Micheal Roberts. I have been dealing with a legal issue for three long years. But thankfully I discovered Mike Roberts, who not only resolved my problem but also exceeded my expectations. From the very beginnin...g, Mike stood out as an attorney who truly cared about my case. His responsiveness was remarkable, where he promptly addressed all my concerns and kept me informed throughout the entire process. His consistent availability and willingness to answer my questions put me at ease and helped alleviate the stress I had been experiencing. Mike was determined to get the job done. Other attorneys who I had previously contacted, had informed me that my particular task couldn't or would be difficult to accomplish, leaving me discourgaed. However, Mike took on the challenge and proved them wrong. I cannot express enough how grateful I am to Mike Roberts for his exceptional legal representation. His responsiveness, knowledge, and thoroughness were instrumental in achieving the positive outcome I was looking for. I highly recommend Mike Roberts to anyone seeking legal assistance, as his expertise and commitment make him an outstanding attorney to have by your side.

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.

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.

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.
