Highly Recommended!

Joe handled my OWI case in a way that exceeded my expectations. The case was resolved quickly and he was able to get me back in the driver's seat in no time. I was scared after my arrest. Joe put my mind at ease and ensured that I could put a bad decision behind me. He put those words into action.... Although I hope I never need his services again, I never need to look for a criminal defense attorney in NWI. My only call would be to Joe. His friendly demeanor, combined with effective representation, make his services second to none. If you want someone to represent your best interests and make you feel like a friend, I highly recommend you call Joe. I'm glad I did!

O.W.I. Representation

Mr. Roberts handled my O.W.I. case as if it was his only case. He was very thorough when handling my case. He asked many questions about the incident to ensure the best possible outcome for me. I would highly recommend Mr. Roberts.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
