This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Best of the Best! Don't waste your time calling anyone else!

I had a family member that was charged w/ DUI, hit and run, and Mike Robusto was our first and only call. He was incredibly knowledgeable, honest, straight forward, and kept us informed throughout the process. He explained how everything would work and what the possible outcomes could be. He to...ok the time to really understand the entire situation which allowed him to make a case that yielded the best result possible. We had never dealt with anything like this in the past so there was a lot of anxiety from not knowing what the outcome would be. The result was so much better than we could have hoped for. I don't know how he managed to get the result he did, but Mike was such a blessing & we were thrilled to have him in our corner! Hopefully, we won't need Mike's help again, but if we do, we will not hesitate to hire him as our attorney. Thanks for everything Mike!! We appreciate you more than you know.

The first lawyer I have ever had to hire and I definitely lucked out!

My husband was charged with a DUI, and Hit and Run. The case was potentially quite complicated and we had never needed a lawyer before so, not only was I nervous about the legal process, it was beyond unnerving to know that my husband's fate hinged on the skill of whomever I hired. I had very little... time to search for the "perfect" attorney, but after interviewing quite a number of them, I ultimately hired Mr. Robusto to handle the a case. Mr. Robusto very quickly eased our fears and handled the case in a very professional and ethical manner and I feel that we received the best possible outcome; from start to finish, I never once questioned my decision to hire him. He was very personable and very patient with my legal questions concerning the case, yet he was also very straightforward, which was greatly appreciated! Hopefully this is the last time we will ever need a criminal attorney, but we will certainly be hiring Mr. Robusto again for any legal issues going forward!
