DUI dismissed like a boss

Mr. Roberts helped me in early 2000's. He won my case and it was dismissed because of his smart representation. He told me I was lucky the cop told the truth but either way he saved me a ton of time and money. It is because of him I am driving now. I was charged with a DUI and we did a bench trial. H...e asked the police officer where he was when ne saw me driving and he caught him up. He used great sense and smarts to get me out of it. Many of my friends have used him as well. TOP NOTCH best attorney i have ever had. Thank you Doug.

Recommended Attorney.

Keeps mind at peace. Keeps me calm in my pretty serious case. I have never been in this predicament. But I have confidence. No more legal issue after this.

Cannot recommend

At our initial interview with Mr. Roberts, he assured us that our son would not be going to jail. (At the time we didn't know the difference between jail and prison.) We hired him and gave him $15,000 which was to include representation at trial if needed. Long story short, when Mr. Roberts began ...making excuses for why he was going to lose the case at trial we decided to find other representation. Mr. Roberts refused to refund any of the money we had given him. In the 6 months prior our decision to get a different attorney, Mr. Roberts met with us only once and never met with our son who was in the Lake County jail about 50 yards from Mr. Roberts' office.

Great attorney !!

I have used Doug more than once and I have to say his performance was exceptional both times. He is really talented an always on the top of his game. Extremely knowledgeable and receptive to all of my concerns. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is interested in having excellent represent...ation.

A professional skilled lawyer

I would strongly suggest Mr. Roberts to be your legal council. From my personal experience, I have used 7 different attorneys in the past regarding my traffic citations and criminal cases through out my life, I must admit that Mr. Roberts was the first attorney to impress me, with his 33 years of ex...perience, skills and knowledge, I was more than satisfied and pleased to have him on my side. Mr. Roberts is well known in lake county and well respected in the eyes of the judges. If you are seriously in need of legal help, don't hesitate to have Mr. Roberts on your side, you will not regret it!
