THIS WOMAN GOT ME OUT OF A MAJOR JAM......

I hired Attorney Kate Roberts actually after we read some reviews on here. I don't want to put other lawyers down so I won't get too specific about some others here but in Lehigh County, THIS IS THE ONE. I'm from Pittsburgh and I don't know any lawyers around in the Allentown area so I just went o...nline to see what's available. The issue in my case was that I got charged with driving under suspension after I was already suspended in the past for tickets and a DWI case out of state. The state police told me I was gonna lose my license for at least 3 years more AND I was going to jail because of getting charged again. Long story very short....after she talked to the police and got down to the nitty gritty on my Pendot record, turns out my driving suspensions even in the past weren't all valid cause Pendot messed up. She sat down with the state police officer and then she went back and forth til we got everything straightened out. I knew I would have to face some kinda penalty but I was trying to go backwards and finally get my license straightened out first. Kate Roberts is the first lawyer I've met who spent the time to figure this all out and believe me, I've had a few lawyers working on this over the years. My case wasn't a major crime or anything but I can't afford to go to jail and lose my job. She kept me out of jail AND got my license straightened out. I gave her extra money cause she did such a great job for me. No problem endorsing her and thanks again Attorney Roberts.

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.

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.

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.
