Posted by Elliott | June 18, 2015 | DUI & DWI

Had bad experiences with 2 other lawyers and then I met Ms Roberts!

My wife got a DUI last year. She's had major depression and her drinking got worse last year, then after the DUI, it got even worse and she got a 2nd DUI while she was on probation for the 1st one. I thought FOR SURE she was going to jail. I hired this lawyer in Bethlehem who barely would return m...y calls. I would call him 20 times for each time he would call me back. Then we switched and hired a female attorney who was supposedly very knowledgeable about DUI cases. Problem was, she also didn't respond very much. We were really weary of trying to switch lawyers again but I read and and heard from some friends about Ms Roberts so I called her. What a difference!!! I know I was calling her a lot and my wife is a handful,, but she carefully led us through this whole ordeal and my wife ended up not in jail. She's been off alcohol for 140 days now and we are so grateful. I offered Ms Roberts extra $$ and she said just go on Avvo and write a review of me so I did. I didn't know how a good lawyer is supposed to behave until we switched and just how bad the other 2 were until we hired Ms Roberts. Plus, she speaks Spanish! She told me she has to use an official interpreter in court, but still, it's good that she tries. She told me she also speaks Arabic, although I can't really speak on her ability in that. Don't hesitate, if you need an agressive and knowledgable attorney in criminal defense, it's all she does and boy is she good!

SUPERB LAWYER AND LADY!

My son was charged in Northampton County with a stolen gun in his car. He had 2 friends in the car but only my son ended up being charged. The police were trying to connect some other serious crimes that the gun was used in to my son. This could have gone very badly. My son is no angel and he's b...een in trouble before, but we knew he wasn't involved in any crimes using guns on people. We were actually given Attorney Roberts' name by the judge at the 1st hearing as the right person to call (I won't mention the judge's name because I don't want anyone getting in trouble). That judge was so right. Attorney Roberts walked us carefully down the path and explained everything in plain English to us as non-lawyers. My son ended up with a disorderly conduct charge as a compromise because she carefully challenged things. No jail and no probation. He can get his record cleaned after 5 years. We are so grateful. My son was considering fleeing Pa because of this mess. Now he's gotten a job and is on the right track. Thanks to Ms. Roberts and she didn't charge us a fortune either.

OMG the BEST LAWYER EVER!!!!!

We hired Ms. Roberts for my husband's case. My husband was charged with theft because he's a contractor and the people who hired him weren't happy with the work. Since this happened once before in the past, and the case was never pursued in court, the police decided that my husband should be charge...d this time, but it wasn't fair because it's not stealing. My husband is honest and hard-working but not everyone is pleased in the end. You can please everyone. Ms. Roberts understood this and she walked us through the entire process. Everything she said would happen in court actually did happen just the way she said. She explained the viewpoints of the police and the DA and eventually, we got a good result. The charges were dropped from felonies to misdemeanors and we got a compromise on the amount of money owed back. Main thing is...she kept him out of jail! My husband isn't a thug! Thank you Ms. Roberts for guiding us. I'm happy to call you a friend now!

ALWAYS CALLS ME BACK IMMEDIATELY

I've had a lot of lawyers over the years for different things and Ms Roberts is the best. Unfortunately, she doesn't practice law in other areas related to business or tax law. But when I needed a criminal defense attorney, she was recommended. I had a complicated PFA case because my ex and I are... fighting over custody of 2 kids and he decided to claim I was abusing one of the kids. Then Children & Youth got involved. Then detectives contacted me saying criminal charges might be coming. It felt like an avalanche. To make a long story short, she and I were in constant contact for about a month, and she made EVERYTHING go away--my ex lost the PFA case, and Children & Youth closed the case saying no evidence of abuse and then the detectives never bothered me after that. If any of these accusations came really public, my whole reputation would have been ruined with my business, my neighbors and friends and a lot more. Ms Roberts navigated me through this and I was really scared. She asked me to go on here and write an endorsement for her. I'm more than happy to do it.

VERY AGGRESSIVE AND KNOWLEDGEABLE, PROFESSIONAL ALL-AROUND

We were seeking someone to aggressively handle our grandson's case and try to prevent charges from being filed involving his ex-girlfriend. We hired Attorney Roberts when my husband talked to his boss, who recommended her and then my husband's friend (a retired police officer) also told us to call h...er. We met with her just 2 times but had many many phone calls inbetween. Her prices wasn't cheap, but we expected that because she is well-known and gets it done. She certainly got it done for us. My grandson never ended up having any charges filed at all, thank god, because his ex's claims were ridiculous and could have ruined his school career and his life. We owe you all the credit Attorney Roberts!
