An Excellent and Exceptional Attorney

I am so thankful and grateful that I hired Mr. Edd K. Roberts III to represent me regarding an automobile accident in which I was involved on December 5, 2019. He negotiated a dismissal on a charge of failing to reduce speed and got the cost of court waived. This would have made retaining his servi...ces worth while; however, in addition, I'd like to add that I was most impressed with his professional manner and willingness to take the time to talk with me concerning the accident and the conditions under which it occurred. He expressed concern, care and interest for me personally and my emotional state of mind. I remember feeling so encouraged, relieved and comforted as I left his office the day of my visit. I would highly recommend his services and have already sheared with family and friends about my experience of choosing Mr. Roberts as my Attorney.

Failure to have complete stop at sipping sign.

I was referred to Mr. Roberts after this incident. During the process he and staff were totally professional and help. The results of dropped charges, were, of course, perfect. I absolutely recommend. You will love him.

Edd, and his team, were very professional and thorough. I would hire him again with no reservations.

Experience Counts!

Ed Roberts and his assistant Elizabeth were terrific to work with. Enough cannot be said about hiring a lawyer that has been in Raleigh / Wake County his entire career. Ed has a great reputation & is well respected by his peers. It is a definite asset to know the judges & district attorneys and how ...the Wake County court system works. My issue was something I probably could have handled on my own but there is no doubt in my mind that I came out better hiring Ed. I would not have been able to present my case nearly as effectively as Ed did. In court, it was obvious that he knew the judge & D.A and that he commanded their respect. By myself court would have been a little intimidating. I felt very confident having Ed Roberts represent me. I would definitely hire Ed Roberts again, although I hope I never need to.
