My workman’s comp. savior.

I had hurt my back pretty bad at the beginning of the year. The place I worked didn’t believe me and the insurance didn’t believe me either. There were days I couldn’t walk or move. Mr. Roberts really stepped up for me. Just being able to talk with him when I needed helped to keep me calm during ...the whole ordeal and he fought to help me be able to back to school and settle my case. He’s no nonsense and a straightforward person and that meant so much to me.

A Wonderful Lawyer

My name is Delia and I want to say I am glad Mr. Roberts was able to work our case. He helped my father and our family. My father worked for a company named Trojan. In that company he worked for, he was injured at work. After the injury he got fired. So he looked for a lawyer to help him win a case. ...He was able to find a lawyer but, for years he tried winning his case with no luck. It was a long and tiring process. It took a couple of years, yet nothing was happening for us to win the case. We thought we would never win this case. The Trojan company was extremely stubborn and unforgiving. Unfortunately my father passed away and my mother and I didn't know what would happen next. The lawyers that were working with my father couldn't continue working with his case because he was now deceased. So the lawyers recommended Mr. Roberts. Mr. Roberts was kind and understanding of our situation. He told us he would help us as much as he could. He gave his 100% while working our case. I appreciated his time and effort, despite his own personal troubles he was having, he gave us his full attention to our case. I am glad and grateful of him winning our case. Even if he wouldn't have been able to (not saying he couldn't) win the case. My mother and I would have been grateful. He is a great lawyer and I highly recommend him! We are glad that we were recommended to Mr. Roberts. I know that even if my father has passed away, he his grateful for Mr. Roberts helping my mother and I with our case. Thank you for helping us Mr. Roberts. Aslo thank you to those who even help assist Mr. Roberts (if there is any) with our case. We are grateful!

Amazing lawyer!

Joseph Roberts worked on my workers comp. case, and I couldn’t have asked for a greater lawyer. He did n amazing job working really hard everyday getting everything I needed. He fought for what was right, I can honestly say that he knows what he’s doing.

Workers Comp Case

Joseph Roberts handled my work comp case very quickly and I received my settlement in just a few months. He is extremely professional and cares about his all of his clients, no matter how small or large the case may be. He made himself available to answer my many questions and guide me through the ...process with ease. Highly recommended!

Work related injury

When I had a work related injury I didn't know who to turn to for help. After asking around, Jospeh Roberts came highly recommend. I briefly spoke with him and he assured me that he would stand by me to make sure I got the medical attention I needed. Only 3 days after my initial conversation with him... I was at the chiropractor and to my amazement he was able to settle my case after only 2 weeks. He was consistent and kept me updated every step of the way. If you have a work related injury and are in need of a reliable and respectful lawyer, I strongly recommend Mr. Roberts! He's an all around dependable guy.

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."
