Finally found a lawyer who truly cared

Hired this lawyer for my DUI case--my first in last 10 years but 3rd in the past 25 years. Other lawyers told me to get ready to do a year in prison (minimum), especialy cause I had an accident. But Attorney Roberts told me that there were some changes in the law on DUIs last year and that the cou...rts are still developing how they are handling the change so she said my case was a good one to use for a specific challenge. She told me the judge was very tough and not likely to agree with her argument but anyway, we ended up working out a deal with the police and DA that was so much better. I got 90 days in jail with work release and my wife was so happy because my wife is having twins next month. I'm not afraid to give my name here because I don't believe in being anonymous. Anyone can check and see that what I'm saying is real by looking up my case. Look for Sean Weiser in Lehigh County courts. If you have a DUI, you're crazy if you go to any other lawyer because Attorney Roberts is the best!!!

Wonderful lawyer and now a friend too

I hired Kate to represent my son for his DUI. I use her first name because after handling 2 different cases for us, I"m proud to say she's become a friend. My son is a senior at Lehigh U and doesn't need the aggravation of losing his license for too long but especially needs his record clear of any... black marks for the future. He had kind of a bad accident and we were told by numerous attorneys that he would not be eligible for ARD. Kate told us it will be a long process and we need to tread very lightly with certain personalities in the court system but that she thought she'd get him ARD......and she did. I'm ecstatic about that, especially because my son already had ARD 3 years ago for a minor drug possession charge. We were also told by other attorneys that ARD is once per lifetime or at least once in 10 years. She got us ARD anyway for this so we are incredibly thankful. And now my sister was charged with stealing from a store and after a long battle and many discussions, eventually they dropped the charges because although she was on video seen taking items and then walking out of the store, she didn't hide them but just had them in her hands while talking on her cell phone and absent-mindedly walking out. Kate said this is more common than you'd think. Stores never give people the benefit of the doubt (not to mention that my sister looks like a spaced out hippie) but Kate said don't worry and she was right!!! Kate knows that our family is not really a bunch of criminals and over time, we've come to be friends with her. She's coming to my baby shower next week! If you have any type of trouble with police and you want a very personalized experience with an attorney that knows all the players in the Lehigh Valley then I'd recommend her wholeheartedly.

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!
