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!!!!

Thank you for everything you did!

I called Ms Roberts last year for a case where I was involved in a very bad accident as a truck driver. The police said that I wasn't the cause but when they saw my logs I got charged with keeping false log. It's a misdemeanor but could lose my license and I can't lose my CDL because it's my jo...b and I need it to make money. She worked with my other attorney to make sure that I didn't end up going to jail and no probation and I got to keep my license. I just had to pay a fine. She was spending a lot of time explaining everything to me and I really appreciated that because the laws are so complicated. She also helped me do some paperwork later for my citizenship so that I was telling the full truth about what happened but not being misjudged and lose that chance to be a citizen.

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.

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!

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.
