FABULOUS LAWYER--deserves her great reviews

My boyfriend got charged with drugs when cops stopped his car and he was driving his friend to the LV mall. I won't say any names or which police cause I don't wanna get anyone in trouble but the friend had a lot of drugs in his knapsack and it was hidden in the trunk. Cops said they were BOTH maki...ng a drug delivery to a customer. My boyfriend was coming off work where he works really hard for his money!!!!--not a drug dealer. Cops arrested both of them. We were so scared because we talked to some lawyers who told us that my boyfriend was facing 10 years in prison and they said he couldn't fight it cause the drugs were in his own car. We hired this lawyer Kate Roberts and she told us that was nonsense and that we could fight it but it would take a while. We had to go to court about 8 times and we had 2 long hearings plus a whole trial in front of a judge but not jury. The judge found my boyfriend NOT GUILTY and we are so relieved. My boyfriend got his job back and we got justice! We don't really hate the cops because they were just doing their jobs and I would think it belonged to the 2 guys if I was a cop but thank god all the truth came out in the final trial. Miss Roberts saved us literally. For that whole thing which took more than 1 year to finish, she charged us $6K and I think that was fair. I have already told my neighbors and 2 coworkers about her because she's way better than other lawyers I met in Allentown and 2 lawyers in Emmaus we talk to .

SHE PAYS ATTENTION TO DETAILS

This attorney specializes in DUI cases and I sent my boyfriend to her 2 years ago and then I got a dUI myself and of course I went back to her. Ms Roberts explains everything so well and really takes the time which I appreciated because the other lawyers I called could barely be bothered with me and... wanted a lot of money. I paid her 2,000 for my DUI case which I thought was very reasonable since other lawyers were charging double that. My boyfriend never wrote a review for her but he should have done it because she really got him a huge break too when he had his case 2 years ago. We didn't have expectations that our charges would suddenly go away but just that out lawyer would stay in touch and keep us informed and take our calls. Ms Roberts called me back when I called her every time within 24 hours and usually within a couple hours. I've already recommended her to 2 different friends and she's the only person I would trust. Plus she doesn't talk down to me like a lot of lawyers seem to do.

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!

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.

Great job on 3 separate cases--the best

We hired Attorney Roberts for one case 2 years ago (a DUI) in Northampton County. She got my husband into a program and helped him with his driver license suspension. We were very pleased with the result compared to the other attorneys we talked to, who said there wasn't anything they could do. It... took a very long time but Attorney Roberts got a good result. She also kept us in the loop and I appreciated that. Then later on my daughter who is a student at Lehigh University got charged with retail theft and since she's 18 it's in the adult court and we didn't want her to have a criminal record. There was a problem because my daughter had a prior shoplifting charge when she was 14 so they didn't want to give her a first offenders program but eventually Attorney Roberts got her that program and she got to keep her record clean. And now just a few months ago my sister was having a problem with Children and Youth Services in Easton because her newborn is not growing properly and they were blaming my sister for not feeding her or getting the baby to the doctor correctly. I hired Attorney Roberts to handle my sister's case (and I'll admit my sister has some issues but we don't want the baby taken away or put up for adoption). So after a long process in the courts we have the baby with us now and kept it out of foster care and my sister can have the baby back with her after she meets a bunch of requirements. We're so thankful that Attorney Roberts helped us through this whole process because it's scary how they can take a baby away from someone in the blink of an eye. I should have put up a review of Attorney Roberts a while ago but I just got around to it and I can vouch for what a super lawyer she is. Anyone who talks to other lawyers and then talks to her can see immediately the difference and that she is very careful in how she handles cases and pays attention.
