Professionalism, top constitutional ,effective corporate.

I got PFA violation 2 years ago and searched around for an attorney that would pay attention since I had bad experiences with lawyers years ago. I called Attorney Roberts and it clicked right away since #1 she called me right back, #2 she talked to me for quite a bit about the case in our 1st call (...A LOT MORE THAN MOST LAWYERS WERE WILLING TO DO). #3 she gave me a fair price of $1,000 on the PFA violation and then we had a formal conference to go over everything and 2 more conferences to make sure we were all ready before the hearing. That was totally the opposite of what I was used to from lawyers in the past so a good sign. To top it off she said she can’t promise an outcome but felt confident and after a messy hearing, we won thank god because my ex could’ve put me in jail with lies…. Fast forward and my son gets a DUI charge and an aggravated assault charge for an incident at a bar in Allentown. My son wasn’t challenging the DUI but he absolutely denied assaulting anyone. (he was at a bar where a fight broke out and a person got hurt but my son quickly left and cops pulled him over cause he ran away and said HE was the assaulter). That big mixup put my so who has no record in jail for nearly 9 months, plus all through Covid and I was scared to death he was gonna get covid and die in the jail. He actually got covid but luckily recovered. Cops barely investigated anything in the case and Attorney Roberts said the police investigation was totally amateur and a high school kid could’ve done better. Attorney Roberts gave me a really fair price and told me we had to be patient and strong to fight it out in court cause cops wouldn’t just withdraw charges like that. After a LONG wait and many hearings, my son ended up with just the DUI and a pretty sweat deal on the DUI too. Attorney Roberts asked me to write a review and tell the truth so people can tell the difference between lawyers who help you and ones who steal your money and just don’t care. I wanted a lawyer who was gonna do more than the bare minimum, return my phone calls, and also not just tell me what I wanna hear. Thank you for all your hard work twice for me and my family Mrs. Roberts. I appreciate you and you will be hearing from anyone I know that needs a lawyer!!

Hire Her !!!!!

Where do I start? Attorney Kate is great at what she does which is defending you. My pending charges were high (Felony Aggravated assault, Domestic violence). The police report did not have all of the information which unfortunately made me look bad. It almost seemed impossible to get any help and pr...ove my innocence. I spoke to multiple lawyers about my case and most of them seemed dismissive like it was over for me. Attorney Kate was the only one who really sat down to listen and weighed my options from worst case to best case scenario and never sugar coated anything. She knows the system and is also very educated in the law. Most importantly she was extremely personable and sympathetic to my situation which is not easy to come by in lawyers. I knew what was going to happen every step of the way and I was prepared each time. Also she is great at getting back to you when you call. Attorney Kate eventually got my case dismissed. DISMISSED! Fairly quickly. I am studying to be a nurse and she saved my career and proved my innocence most importantly.

Wonderfull for PFAs

Just hired Ms. Roberts for 3RD time in a PFA case cause my ex thinks she can file a contempt on me and make up a bunch of lies and get away with it. Kate won the 1st 2 PFA contempt cases so I hired hired her again of course. She rocks!!! She explained what kind of evidence the judge will consider a...nd how to use it in court without getting objecting. I already referred a bunch of people to her on some other little cases in criminal courts. No one told me anything but great response and the biggest thing is that she's HONEST and tells you like it really is and whats gonna really happen. So far she's 3 out of 3 in telling me how the case is gonna go. Awesome attorney!

SAVED my brother's life!!!!!

I hired Ms Roberts from reading these reviews because we didn't know how to find a good attorney and just started looking around. It was for my stepbrother who got charged with aggravated assault because he got a DUI/DWI and the other people in the other car that he hit were very injured. I knew it... was gonna be an uphill battle because no one in the court system had a lot of sympathy for my stepbrother since he was intoxicated while driving....even though he didn't plan to hurt anyone and plus the driver of the other car was also intoxicated....complicated to say the least. After more than a year of court hearings we got a result that saved my brother from state prison and gives him some peace. Ms Roberts met with my brother about 6 or7 times in her office but she also kept him informed with emails and calls promptly which is something that not all lawyers do! I don't know how your rating system works here but in my book she's a 10 because she did everything we asked for and was honest about what the options were the whole way. Thank you thank you thank you Ms Roberts!!!

Wonderful lawyer and now a friend too

I hired Kate to represent my son for his DUI. I use her first name because after handling 2 different cases for us, I"m proud to say she's become a friend. My son is a senior at Lehigh U and doesn't need the aggravation of losing his license for too long but especially needs his record clear of any... black marks for the future. He had kind of a bad accident and we were told by numerous attorneys that he would not be eligible for ARD. Kate told us it will be a long process and we need to tread very lightly with certain personalities in the court system but that she thought she'd get him ARD......and she did. I'm ecstatic about that, especially because my son already had ARD 3 years ago for a minor drug possession charge. We were also told by other attorneys that ARD is once per lifetime or at least once in 10 years. She got us ARD anyway for this so we are incredibly thankful. And now my sister was charged with stealing from a store and after a long battle and many discussions, eventually they dropped the charges because although she was on video seen taking items and then walking out of the store, she didn't hide them but just had them in her hands while talking on her cell phone and absent-mindedly walking out. Kate said this is more common than you'd think. Stores never give people the benefit of the doubt (not to mention that my sister looks like a spaced out hippie) but Kate said don't worry and she was right!!! Kate knows that our family is not really a bunch of criminals and over time, we've come to be friends with her. She's coming to my baby shower next week! If you have any type of trouble with police and you want a very personalized experience with an attorney that knows all the players in the Lehigh Valley then I'd recommend her wholeheartedly.
