Posted by Brian | June 13, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Child Support

Extremely Unreliable

Hired him in November 2019 to do 3 specific things: 1) Attempt to negotiate a lump sum settlement of child support arrears with the custodial parent. If this was unsuccessful, so be it. 2) Petition the court to enforce child visitation I was not receiving from the mother (the custodial parent) 3)... Petition the court to recalculate the child support to pay based on my actual income As far as I can tell, he only made the phone call to my ex-wife. He claims he filed my child support motion during the height of Covid, but has not produced documentation of such, nor have I had a hearing. I haven't seen my children in 8+ years, needless to say, he did not petition the court to enforce visitation. I've attempted to visit his office numerous times, and each time the door has a flip sign indicating closed, and no vehicles in his employee parking area, so no secretary/paralegal. I cannot say whether or not he is a competent attorney, since he didn't do any of the attorney things I paid him to do. Just a single phone call.

Has represented me numerous times..

He's a great attorney that I can honestly say I've used for several years. He's always done an amazing job for me with great outcomes. From being sued to getting my divorce done , and alot in-between. I'd stand by this man in any court room.. Not only do I recommend him I recognize him as one of the... best. Thank you to CJ Roberts and his team for all they've done for me. Chris C.

Don't waste your money here!

My husband has been in county jail for over a year. Carl Roberts is his attorney (as of right now) and hasn't showed up for FOUR court dates. I havent heard anything from him, hes never came to see my husband. HE SHOULD BE FIRED. My husband was supposed to sign his plea deal months ago & if carl woul...d've showed up for court he would already be home with us. Now when my husband goes back to court & tells the judge he has fired Mr Roberts its gonna take another couple months for them to now appoint him an attorney & catch himself up on the case in order to represent my husband properly & professionally! I highly regret the decision to hire this man. Dont waste your time, cause I promise he will waste yours!
