Honest Hardworking Attorney
Very trustworthy honest attorney. I have used him for the past 5 years for everything from moving violations to driving on a suspended license. He kept well informed on all my cases as well as all the possible outcomes. The guy really went to bat for me and made me feel he was really putting the effo...

Great Legal Advice
I called Andy on a Friday afternoon to ask about a traffic violation. His advice was honest and straightforward. He advised me to pay the ticket and move forward. No gimmicks or false promises. I appreciated that. This kind of honesty is rare today. I am also so happy I could speak with him directly...

Andrew was the least expensive. I achieved my objectives. He is very approachable and responsive. I will use his services again.

Rude!
Super rude I was just trying to get a consultation for court and he kept interrupting me saying that’s what your insurance is for. And made me feel like I was wasting his time. It’s his job, that’s what happens when people have been doing things for so long they don’t really care about smaller cases ...
Andrew Roberts
Replied last July 28, 2025I typically do not respond to any reviews- but in this matter I feel I must. I truly apologize if you thought I was rude to you. It is just not my nature - as the 375 previous reviews indicate. I did explain to you that I was in my car and that reception was going to get bad very soon as I was headed into a difficult cell area. Our conversation was a bit rushed as a result. I do recall that you had an issue with an accident and insurance. I suggested that you contact me on Monday to discuss further. That offer is still open. I pride myself on picking up all of my calls and explaining in detail with my clients their circumstance and what to anticipate. I have been doing this for 47 years. PLEASE CALL ME TO DISCUSS FURTHER. I WISH YOU WELL! Andy Roberts
Posted by Kevin | March 28, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket
Pay Attention to the 1 star reviews. They are accurate reviews.
I'd strongly suggest going with another traffic attorney in the area. Here's why. I hired Mr. Roberts for a traffic ticket. He gave me this story how he represented the lead singer of Red Hot Chili Peppers and helped clean up his record and how knowledgeable he was doing this for over 20+ years. ...
Andrew Roberts
Replied last March 28, 2020I usually do not like to respond publicly to comments; however, I believe this one needs to be addressed. I do not like to engage in a “War of the Words” as I did try to deal with this offline- but you never responded to my email or voice message. You chose to go the negative review route on all available forums. I am always disappointing when a client is unhappy with the results of my representation. I take all of my clients, including traffic cases very seriously. I feel bad when the optimum results (dismissal or reduction to a non-point moving violation) cannot be achieved- or when a client is unhappy. I apologize to you for any lapse in my communication on my part. All my clients are very important to me and I am very sorry for not being more responsive with you. As you know we spoke a great deal before you retained me about how traffic tickets were handled- some of it is worth repeating. Attorneys are prohibited from guaranteeing any outcome in any matter. (Rules of Professional Conduct) This point is stated clearly in my Agreement and our conversations. A traffic ticket only gets “dismissed” if the officer fails to appear at the time of trial, or has indicated on his copy of the citation that the matter should be dismissed. A ticket can also be dismissed if the officer agrees to it and the court accepts it. Unfortunately, this was not the case in your matter. The Officer appeared at your trial. I went over the evidence you provided. He indicated that there had been accidents at, or near the intersection- so that is why he was there issuing citations. He totally discounted whatever evidence you provided me. He would not reduce the matter to a non-point violation. The primary objective of an attorney in traffic court is to keep points off of your clients' DMV record; get the fine reduced- if possible. Unfortunately attorneys simply do not have magic fairy dust or powers to make citations disappear or prevent an Officer from appearing at the time of trial. You were aware of this with your citation- but wanted to take that chance and hope that the Officer would not show. You indicated from your research that my fees were more than reasonable. I made the decision to not go to trial because it is what I felt it was in your best interest. Had we gone to trial and the judge found you guilty- your fine would have undoubtedly been higher- AND the judge might not have granted you traffic school. If traffic school was not granted you would have received a point on your DMV record and your insurance would have gone up 15- 25% for multiple years. That result would not have made you happy. Under the circumstances, pleading you out before trial was the best option. You were aware this scenario when we spoke a few days before your trial. As part of my agreement, you authorized me to act in your best interest, which included entering a guilty plea. (see below) "PLEASE NOTE: * BY RETAINING THIS LAW FIRM, YOU AUTHORIZE US TO BE YOUR COUNSEL FOR THIS MATTER AND TO ACT IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF YOUR CASE AND TO TAKE ANY AND ALL REQUIRED ACTIONS TO REACH THIS END, INCLUDING ENTERING A PLEA TO GUILTY OR NO CONTEST AT TRIAL. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS REGARDING THE FOREGOING CONTACT US IMMEDIATELY. " In the end you got a reduced fine and were allowed to take traffic school. You probably could have done this yourself- but like most people- you did not have the time, nor want to take the time to deal with the citation yourself. I never strong-armed anyone into hiring me; or not come to trial to be a witness in their own matter. I can tell you that I would have recommended the same position had you come to court. Once again, I apologize for any lapse in my communication. Andy Roberts
