John Joseph Robertson

I am a long-time resident of Blacksburg. John Robertson has been an invaluable legal resource for me and, I expect, also for many others in our community. In short, John’s legal services are not just standard forms. Issues such as property, custody, or contracts are critical issues in one’s perso...nal or business life and they demand attention to details. When I have gone to John for legal assistance, his response is, “OK, let’s work on this together.” And here’s another thing with John. I was recently out of state and needed a Power of Attorney on less than an hour’s notice. John was familiar with the situation and so within minutes a tailored document was in my phone inbox and ready to print. I call that “going above and beyond.” John has been a legal resource for me for 11 years and his responsiveness and ready knowledge of the vast world of legal matters is impeccable.

I called Mr. Robertson after finding him online and reading his reviews. I chose to call him because of his experience in criminal law. Although Mr. Robertson could not take my sons case (2 Felony Charges) he talked to me several times on the phone and advised me on the law and the pending charges a...gainst my son. As a mother I felt completely helpless and afraid for my child. Mr. Robertson took the time to gather letters of reference for my son and presented them to the prosecuting attorney with an amazing letter. His letter and the references have given us hope for my sons case. I offered several times to hire him but he declined explaining his schedule. As busy as he was he still helped our family and gave us hope for absolutely nothing in return. Mr. Robertson is not only honest but caring. I would recommend him to any friend or family member for representation.

I suppose he is overworked or just too busy. after 3 voicemails left on his phone, and 5 emails to his website, basically pleading towards the last, to at least return my calls or email and tell me to buzz off or whatever but he could not even bother to do that. We were basically beat up in montgomer...y county court named as a defendant in a litigation for unpaid rent late fees, as well as eviction from mobile home park by brand new owners over severe rent hike and ignorant and mean rules package. as the defendant I did not get to say but only 1 word, yes or no on amount owed. I was trying to find out where to pay your rent while litigation over rules took place but no answers from him. BTW it is paid 3rd floor court house called registry if anyone needs this info like I did. but you gotta give landlords 30 days notice by certified mail that their rent is being paid there and why. information that would definately kept us from a 10 day eviction which is complete horsepuckey because it was never about the normal rent money which is all they were awarded anyway. but after being late on rent only twice in 14 + years we were booted anyway. thanks there mr. robertson for all your help. NOT!!!!!!!

We had a student conduct issue where my son was being called to a review board with little/no information of what was being investigated. John gave us excellent advice without charging us as there was no need for follow-up. My son was not the target of the investigation, but they were checking if ...he had any information. John did an excellent job of explaining to my son his rights. Also, he was patient in working with a young adult who was intimidated about speaking to a lawyer and going in front of a review board. John was professional, knowledgeable, and generous with his time. He could have easily charged me for his services. If follow-up was needed or any other incidents occur, I will definitely work with John.

I had an unfortunate incident involving my child with another roommate while attending college out of state. I was referred to John and found him to be instantly insightful on what was relevant to my child's situation with both the roommate and the landlord. John was able to quickly establish the ...options I could pursue and the steps required for each. John also had a very pragmatic sense about how others would respond to my possible actions. John provided me specific guidance to ensure I was able to get the outcomes I desired. In the end, he was probably too wise for his own good, as I was able to resolve this entire incident without any legal action. John's consultation was both insightful and empowering. I would definitely recommend John and his services to resolve your legal needs.
