John Joseph Robertson

I hired John as a criminal defense lawyer for a small drug offense. From start to finish, he was extremely helpful and patiently answered my questions about the law, my offense, and court procedures. Even after he received my payment, he was willing to meet and discuss options moving forward. John's ...rates were fair, and he was very easy to communicate with. In the end, my charges were dropped and I can get the incident expunged from my record less than a year after it took place. As a college student, it is not easy to afford such quality legal advice. But Mr. Robertson's service was completely worth it, as he eased the financial and personal pain inherent in any legal issue. I would 100% recommend John Robertson to my friends and family, as his service was completely exceptional.

Recently I was involved in a traffic accident with a county vehicle, however, because the other driver did not stop I did not stop to report the incident. Once I realized I could be charged with leaving the scene of an accident or worse, I called a friend who referred me to John. John took my call af...ter business hours (as he was about to leave the office). He patiently discussed my situation and helped me calm down and assess my options, providing insight supported by a clear understanding of the applicable law and the possible outcomes of my situation. Based on his advice, I was able to quickly address the situation. I can honestly say that he was a lifesaver, could not have been more sympathetic, courteous, or helpful, and without his advice the situation would almost certainly have gotten worse instead of better. I wholeheartedly recommend John to anyone in need of legal advice.

I own a single property in Roanoke county that I have been renting out for the past few years and up until recently I've had pretty good luck with the tenants. Once I ran into a situation with a problematic tenant though, I found myself disjointed and confused about the law and what I could do to rem...edy the situation either by squashing lease violations or potentially evicting the tenant. The law seems to heavily favor the tenant and the steps required to remedy a problem situation, left me uncertain about how to proceed. I attempted to reach out to a couple of attorneys in the Roanoke area but had little luck in even getting someone's attention. In stepped John Robertson w/Spicer Law. A mutual acquaintance put me in touch with John and while I'm sure that my particular needs didn't represent a windfall of revenue for John, he was very gracious, professional, and helpful. John made it easy for me to ask questions, maintaining regular contact with me via email which I think worked out well for both he and I. This allowed me to get the answers I needed, when I needed them, without unduly burdening John's schedule and other responsibilities. Not only did John direct me but he went a huge step beyond my expectations and actually taught me about the process so that I could "fend for myself". In my opinion that is representative of someone who truly cares about people. As much as I dread having to go through the courts for anything at all, in this particular situation John has enabled me to do so with confidence, clarity and understanding. To me that is priceless and his assistance has far exceeded any expectations that I may have had. I am so glad that I now have a dependable and knowledgeable, legal point of contact as a landlord. And to those attorneys in Roanoke that failed to get back to me......please reach out to John Robertson so that he can show you how it should be done.

I was referred to John by a friend for assistance with repayment of a loan. He was always available and provided expert guidance through small claims court, which proved to be not so consumer friendly. During the time between court dates, my father passed away. I could not imagine how difficult it wo...uld have been to go back to court without John by my side. He made it so easy for me to simply answer "yes" or "no" and got me through it. He sincerely expressed his condolences and I am certain that he truly cares about his clients. John is the only lawyer that I have dealt with that I would ever recommend. His is the best, hands-down.

Little did we know that inheriting rental property would become a nightmare for us. After consulting with a friend's husband who manages a local rental company, we were directed to Mr. Robertson for help with a tenant issue. Mr. Robertson was very easy to talk to, clear and concise with his explana...tions, and followed up with us by email as events and issues developed. In the courtroom, he made us feel as comfortable and we were well prepared to answer any questions that were directed toward us. We were very pleased with the outcome of our situation and have since sought his help on other rental matters. We would highly recommend Mr. Robertson to anyone that has Landlord/Tenant/Rental issues.
