Run Away

I was dealing with a family issue ( custody matter) in white plains ny, and retained Mr Roberts. He is the worst lawyer you can ever hire. He asked me to sign a agreement that was not in my favor, never show up to court perpard. He also was working with the other side. This man is a joke...... need I... say more.

Saved Me from Foreclosure

For a variety of reasons not uncommon in this country, I was laid off from my company, separated from my husband, and a kid in college. I was struggling to make ends meet when I was served with foreclosure papers; a court date set for a few months later. Through friends, I was referred to Richard Ro...berts. After meeting with him, he took on my case and explained what was happening, and what he could do for me. Mr. Roberts took my information, represented me in judges chambers, and worked diligently to find an agency to offer me a re-modification for an affordable mortgage thus saving my family home. He was professional, thorough and supportive. I now consider him my family lawyer for all things legal.

never finished work he was hired for

I used this attorney and he never completed what I paid him for and in the middle of representing me he defended a client that I was suing and was totally a conflict of interest.
