Lawyer par Excellence

When using a Criminal lawyer, the one thing required is a professional who knows the job, explains the scenario, offers the best options and does not lie. Also the main factor is that the lawyer has to be prompt and truthful when it comes to answering back. In every scenario, Kathryn Roberts, Esquir...e stands out as a Lawyer par excellence. She fights for you, believes in you and tells you upfront what to expect. She got me out of a bad situation and is very responsive and caring. She understands your emotions and handles things very efficiently. Goes through every little bit of information, however miniscule it might seem and even reprimands and scolds you if you make a mistake. She fought hard and did exactly as she promised avoiding a criminal charge and even a fine. She fought for me every step of the way and believed in me, which was a blessing. I trusted her and she upheld my trust. I truly love this fantastic lady, more for her honesty and genuine affection she has for her clients and if I ever hear of someone who needs a hardworking resourceful criminal lawyer, it would be her. Number 1 choice is my review for her !

Highly Recommend Attorney Roberts

A few years back I received a DUI and it was my first offense. . I was very worried and scared. I went on AVVO and looked for a lawyer that handles criminal cases. I saw that attorney Roberts had all 5 star reviews so I contacted her and hired her. I am very glad I did. She is very intelligent, kn...owledgeable, she has a great way of talking to you and keeping you calm. Her communication is wonderful and she is always in touch with you, never leaving you hanging. She helped so much with my DUI. I just recently needed her service again and she was just as amazing with my case. I highly recommend Attorney Roberts! She is the very best!

Excellent PFA Defense

Unfortunately, I was served with a temporary PFA and the hearing was 10 days after being served. After a web search for PFA attorney's in my area, I was having a very challenging time finding an attorney who was even available on such short notice. I was getting desperate because it was Friday and th...ere was now only 4 more days until my hearing. Even though I wasn't too comfortable with it, I was about to retain a lawyer from way outside my area. So I thought I'd make one last attempt at finding a "hometown" attorney, Kate returned my call the very same day. She was very attentive listening to my situation and reassured me that PFAs are easy to obtain and there was no need to panic. She sounded trustworthy and said we still had plenty of time to meet to go over the details, so I retained her and we set up an appointment. We met for about 2 hours 4 days before my hearing and I was able to provide more in depth details, along with some history to give her a more complete picture of the situation. Kate was very patient hearing my side of things and listening to my concerns. She explained that none of what happened in the past had anything to do with this PFA and that the judge would not be interested in hearing all the details I provided, nor any tangents the plaintiff would try to invoke. She explained who the judge was and how to conduct myself during the hearing and was extremely helpful in calming my fears and doubts. On the day of the hearing, after the plaintiff presented their side, she asked several questions that knocked holes in their story and cast doubt about the reason the PFA was filed in the first place. Kate kept me focused and on point and, after only about 15 or 20 minutes, the PFA against me was dropped! Ms. Roberts did a fantastic job representing me! I was very impressed with how she prepared me for this very stressful situation. She knew exactly who the judge was and how to conduct business in the judge's courtroom. All for a very reasonable fee in comparison to the out-of-town attorney who was going to charge me 3 times as much. As she explained, many PFAs are about perception, as in my case, so just be honest! If you need help with a PFA defense ... HIRE HER!!!! You will not be disappointed!!!

Professionalism, top constitutional ,effective corporate.

I got PFA violation 2 years ago and searched around for an attorney that would pay attention since I had bad experiences with lawyers years ago. I called Attorney Roberts and it clicked right away since #1 she called me right back, #2 she talked to me for quite a bit about the case in our 1st call (...A LOT MORE THAN MOST LAWYERS WERE WILLING TO DO). #3 she gave me a fair price of $1,000 on the PFA violation and then we had a formal conference to go over everything and 2 more conferences to make sure we were all ready before the hearing. That was totally the opposite of what I was used to from lawyers in the past so a good sign. To top it off she said she can’t promise an outcome but felt confident and after a messy hearing, we won thank god because my ex could’ve put me in jail with lies…. Fast forward and my son gets a DUI charge and an aggravated assault charge for an incident at a bar in Allentown. My son wasn’t challenging the DUI but he absolutely denied assaulting anyone. (he was at a bar where a fight broke out and a person got hurt but my son quickly left and cops pulled him over cause he ran away and said HE was the assaulter). That big mixup put my so who has no record in jail for nearly 9 months, plus all through Covid and I was scared to death he was gonna get covid and die in the jail. He actually got covid but luckily recovered. Cops barely investigated anything in the case and Attorney Roberts said the police investigation was totally amateur and a high school kid could’ve done better. Attorney Roberts gave me a really fair price and told me we had to be patient and strong to fight it out in court cause cops wouldn’t just withdraw charges like that. After a LONG wait and many hearings, my son ended up with just the DUI and a pretty sweat deal on the DUI too. Attorney Roberts asked me to write a review and tell the truth so people can tell the difference between lawyers who help you and ones who steal your money and just don’t care. I wanted a lawyer who was gonna do more than the bare minimum, return my phone calls, and also not just tell me what I wanna hear. Thank you for all your hard work twice for me and my family Mrs. Roberts. I appreciate you and you will be hearing from anyone I know that needs a lawyer!!
