Joseph Roberts is the Miracle Man

I was faced with a felony having an extensive history of convictions including one strike I thought I was done. The DA offered 4 years, or 13 to 14 is I lost the trail. At 63 this was a life sentence. After speaking with Mr. Roberts I stated if I didn't do the crime I should not take the plead. I pre...sented arguments, gathered evidence, stood firm and the charges were dismissed. All of them. He will go to lengths for you. In my opinion, Joseph Martin Roberts gets the job done.

Saved my life

It's difficult for me to put into words the impact that Joe had on my life. He was my lawyer when the feds tried to frame me for crimes I did not commit and had nothing to do with. In court, his soft spoken yet relentless defense was unbeatable. And I'm not exaggerating here. Joe is the real deal. H...e convinced 12 jurors of my innocence against all odds and I am a free man now because he put my interests ahead of his relationships with the prosecution. Instead of 25 to life, I have a life. I consider Joe a personal friend and mentor now. He still answers my calls and gladly gives his honest advise. If you need real help. Call Joe and hope you get lucky and he accepts your case.

Possession charge

Joe is an amazing lawyer. The courts make you come back constantly but every time Joe was there 100% beside me. I had a charge of possession and all charges were dropped.

Success

I was dealing with a case that could potentially put me in jail for a year. The police had violated my rights and the court tricked me into waiving some of my rights. A friend of mine recommended Joe to me, so I gave him a call. He was very confident in his ability to battle the DA. We went over the ...case and he assured me that we had a good defense. During the trial, he pointed out all of the illegal things they did to me. They tried to lower the charges so they could still get something out of me, but he was not going to compromise with them. By the end of the trial, the DA had completely dropped the charges and I was free to go. To say the least, I was very happy with Joe's performance as well as the outcome of the trial.

Astonishing

Joseph surpassed all my expectations while being my lawyer. I was set up by Ventura county sheriff's and Joseph didn't step down or get intimidated. Even against the odds and I the corruption, Joseph managed to still find and attack the weak points in the Peoples case against me. He handled my case w...ith more care and effort than I thought and actually goes deep and spends time to get to the bottom of my situation all while doing my case pro bono. He managed to save me from going to prison for no reason. Definitely my go to lawyer.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Joe and I recently tried a case together and I was extremely impressed with his dedication, knowledge, and legal skills. This lawsuit involved a jury trial in a criminal case and Joe worked tirelessly to file numerous motions which derailed the prosecution's case. We voire dired the jury and his advocacy skills were exceptional. The case ultimately resolved favorably for the client due to Joe's aggressive and effective lawyering. I highly endorse him."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I first met Joseph when we were on opposite sides of a workers' compensation case. I was on the defense side and Joseph represented the applicant. I could tell right off the bat that Joseph knew his file and the law and would go to hell and back for his clients, which is exactly what he had to do on a particular case. If you retain Joseph, you will be in good hands."
