NO COMPLAINTS, GOT ME A BETTER DEAL THAN I ASKED FOR

I hired Kate about halfway thru my case when my other lawyer was nowhere to be found. I kept calling his office and was told he would get back to me and he never did so I just started searching around. She told me some stuff was going on with him that I didn't know about, including that he was in t...rouble himself. I verified what she told me and also her other comments abou tmy case. Everything she said about the particular police officer and first judge is just what happened to the T. So that made me think she knew her way around the courts in this area (Lehigh Valley) enough to help me. When I hired her, I told her I want to know the whole truth and don't BS me. She said she would and she did!!!! I liked that but if you want a lawyer who's gonna tell you what you wanna hear then go somewhere else. I didn't feel like she was trying to sell me something and she told me what we could hope for but also what would be realistic. In the end, I got a gun charge lifted and I won a PFA hearing related to the criminal case, which I paid extra for cause PFA is not criminal court. But it was worth every penny. She questioned my ex-girlfriend to the point that the judge said "alright I've heard enough" and then dismissed my ex's case against me. Awesome lawyer!

SHE GOT MY DUI DISMISSED YESTERDAY!!!!

Kate Roberts was referred to me by a friend of my older brother, who had a couple dui cases in the past couple years. I never hired a lawyer before but after I read the reviews on here for her I felt comfortable that she would be good. It was a 1st offense and I wasn't even sure if I needed a lawy...er cause i could probable just go on the ARD program that Pa has but I wanted her as my insurance that everything would go ok. When we went to court yesterday she got my dui case totally dismissed because the judge said it doesn't qualify for a dui. This was an amazing result because I thought I would be paying about 2-3K for this ard program and fines plus my lawyer fees and a license suspension. The police officer was kinda annoyed but the judge told him that my lawyer was right. The funny part is that the other lawyers I talked to a while ago said it wouldn't get dismissed even though I wanted to challenge it that it didn't qualify as a dui. So needless to say, I'm very pleased with Ms Roberts!!!!

Finally a lawyer I trust!!

My wife and I hired this lawyer after consulting with lawyers all over Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton and even down to Doylestown because we live in Bucks County. Attorney Roberts is located in Allentown, but everyone we talked to knew her, even down in Doylestown and over in Easton. The main thing i...s that she's guided us through a total mess that could have gotten really out of control for our son. He is a student at Lehigh U and was going to graduate this spring. He was a straight-A student in pre-med until last summer when he got hooked on pain medications and everything went downhill....his grades, his girlfriend dumped him, he looked horrible, and he started gambling at the Sands Casino all the time. Next thing we get a call that he has pawned electronics at local pawn shops and had to show his ID and all the things were stolen from dorm rooms at Lehigh. Each time he did it, they charged another felony for burglarizing. At first the police and the district attorney didn't want to be too lenient even though he has no criminal record.....especially when they asked him to give urine tests and he kept not showing up for the tests and giving excuses. After a long struggle and a lot of arguing with out son, we have now worked out the case and our son is in rehab and doing better. He won't be going to jail and he hasn't lost everything he's worked for. But this is a message to all parents to be very vigilant with your college sons and daughters and don't think it can't happen to you because you raised a child that doesn't do drugs. We thought that about all our children til this happened. My wife and I are both very educated and we missed this problem completely. More important, if you need a criminal defense lawyer, this lawyer is superb. We had a lot of options and were willing to spend whatever it takes for our son to have good legal representation. Attorney Roberts charged us about half of what a few other very high-priced lawyers quoted us, and yet we feel that we got the very best representation so beware, the highest-priced lawyer isn't always the best one.

GOT US OUT OF STICKY SITUATION

My husband and I own a construction business and my husband was approached by the FBI because I guess they thought he was employing illegal aliens. We were told to get a lawyer right away who handles federal cases and there's not too many of those in Allentown. We went down to Philly and we talked ...to 3 lawyers in one day but they all wanted over $10K and my husband wasn't even charged with anything yet. So then we went on different websites trying to find a lawyer up in Allentown that does federal cases. My husband knows a guy whose wife works for a law firm in Allentown but they don't handle federal cases, only DUIs and we were told that federal is different. Anyway, one thing led to another and we read some reviews of Kathryn Roberts and we called her. Holy cow why can't all lawyers be like her????? She was honest and straightforward and told us a million times she wouldn't sugarcoat it and my husband could go to jail. She drew us a map (literally!) of how the case would go through the system at each stage if he got charged. Well he was charged and she told us to expect that but after a very long 2 years, we got it worked out and my husband had to pay a heavy fine but no jail. So thank god, we didn't lose our business and our home. Our kids were so scared because my husband's name was on the news all over the area. This lawyer was a godsend and really knows what she's doing. I really am so thankful and we owe her a huge favor so thanks again!!!!

the BEST for my DUI case

I got a DUI case in Macungie and the cops totally LIED about what happened. Ms Roberts told me she had a few tricks to use in court if needed to show the cops were lying but she said we might not have to if she could gently "persuade" the cops that the might be embarassed by the evidence we had on o...ur side. I paid her $2,500, which is less than what a bunch of other lawyers quoted me. Well, long story short...I made the right choice for sure, since the DUI charge went away and I paid a fine. I really couldn't believe it because lawyers always tell you they're trying for one thing and then they let you down gently later. We've had lawyers handle criminal cases several times for us in New York and Virginia for various things and I never had a great impression that they could do that much but it changed after this lawyer. She asked me to put a review on here so people could know the truth about which lawyers can really help you. I hope I won't need her again or have any other cases with police, but if I do or anyone I know has one, I'll be sending them to her. i'm not putting in my name here cause I don't want any backlash from police. Thanks again Ms Roberts
