She got my son out of SERIOUS trouble--saved his life!!!!

We retained Attorney Roberts after reading a lot of reviews of her on this website and then meeting with her. My son and his 2 idiot friends broke into an old farmer's house in Berks county and stole a bunch of guns, then ended up selling on the street to some criminals in Reading. My son and his f...riends were charged with gun charges by federal agents. We didn't know anything about the federal system or what he was facing and when we found out that they have all this mandatory sentencing for any cases with guns, we got scared real fast. Attorney Roberts kept him out of prison and on bail while the case was going on but she told us that for sure, he was going to jail for quite a while once he got sentenced by the judge, even if he pleaded guilty. The federal judge was in Philaelphia named Judge Stengel and Attorney Roberts told us the judge could do whatever he wanted with the sentencing but the sentencing guidelines for his crimes were for about 16-17 years!!!! She said there's no way she could just get the judge to give him probation but that we should do all we can and give it our best shot at the sentencing. Well....he did get probation, which shocked the heck out of everyone in my family. We had everything set up for him to be going to prison for maybe 10 years or more. But the judge told everyone that he was so impressed with how my son had turned things around. And one of the people in the courtroom that works there actually said afterwards that Attorney Roberts had done one of the best jobs he'd ever seen by a lawyer for a sentencing. My son got 5 years probation and now he can be home to help his wife with their kids, one of which is very mentally and physically disabled. Attorney Roberts is our savior and we are so glad we found her. We were right to check her references on here and elsewhere they were right on the money. I told her if she ever needs ANYTHING from me, just call me and I'll will help her because we can't really thank her enough.

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!!!!

Strong Attorney Ever

She helped me with my landlord. My wife was pregnant and we were living in a complex where things were getting worse and worse and the management disappeared. I documented all our problems like leaks, mice and things that I wouldn't allow my wife to live with. So she advised us to move out and ...give notice as we were leaving and she would handle it if they tried to sue us for breaking the lease. They did contact us at our new apartment but she handled it from there and I never heard from them again. Ms. Roberts was really helpful and made me feel that I had the power instead of the apartment owners. She is nice but also a strong attorney.

THE ONLY LAWYER IN ALLENTOWN WHO CARES!!

M y son is a student at Muhlenberg College and got a DUI 9 months ago. We read that he would lose his license automatically because he was underage and this was the 2nd time he was arrested for a DUI (but the other one was in NJ). We were prepared to help him keep his record clean in whatever way w...e could but I knew that he'd probably end up with a long license suspension and since we don't live in Pa, he'd have to leave school or pay his roomate or something to drive him around all the time. Long story short, we were referred to Attorney Roberts by one of the Allentown police (a female police officer who was involved in taking our son into custody), who said this attorney knows all the police and judges and she will get us through the right way. We talked to a few other lawyers who specialize in DUI cases and it seemed like they wanted a fortune up front but with no promises. Attorney Roberts told us that she would shoot for trying to keep his record clean but she wouldn't lie to anyone because she could lose her lawyers license and that sometimes it's better to just come clean about your past.....in the end she was right. The DA respected it and was more lenient on my son than he had to be. I have had some bad experiences with lawyers in the past (although not criminal cases) but Attorney Roberts is the best. She always returned our phone calls immediately, even emails and texts. Why can't all lawyers be like her????

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!
