Joseph Martin Roberts

I had little success with my case prior to hiring an attorney. The only compromise being made was by me which only empowered my ex husband. The success that I did have was the divorce itself. I gave up a lot for the legal parting of ways with my ex husband but he wanted my misery, and he went above a...nd beyond to hurt me and make my life difficult . I am the least likely person to do the things that he was accusing me of, in the presence of strangers or meeting people for the first time it was difficult knowing that their only idea of me is coming from a man intent on taking my children away because that is the most pain he could inflict on me. My ex created a narrative about me that described a horrible mother a horrible person in general, court was very intimidating, he said everything that would make me look like an unfit mother. I was frequently rendered speechless in court, always emotional. My judge was not empathetic to an emotional display. I would leave court feeling defeated. I was getting nowhere. I began to realize that anyone could say anything about someone in court and bring them to court for any reason. After four years of court appearances I saw the light and hired Joe to represent me. The relief I felt after our first appearance was incredibly uplifting. I wasn't feeling defeated leaving court for the first time in years because Joe is in his element in front of a judge. Outside of court Joe is not a man of many words but what he does say is well thought out, honest and impactful. It's easy to tell someone what they want to hear or mislead a person to get their business. I was told what to expect and to be in it for the long haul which definitely was not what I wanted to hear, court is seriously costly. Knowing what to expect takes a lot of the stress out of the situation. I no longer have to speak to my ex-husband, he speaks to Joe and Joe knows how to handle the bitter ex and move the conversation forward which has been incredibly satisfying. Not only are we moving forward while my ex-husband’s stall tactics have been rendered useless. I have the right person to speak on my behalf, I couldn’t ask for more, Joe continuously finds tactful ways to convey to the judge the character flaws that made it necessary I get out of a marriage that had become a prison sentence. The huge amount of gratitude I have for Joe’s integrity and commitment to the outcome of my case and his unburdening me of the bullying and torment that comes with personally corresponding with my ex husband cannot be measured. There has been a positive change in my overall well-being that Joe has given me. Joe is a very talented attorney, he doesn’t just blandly write a response he composes a statement that better expresses my experience than I did for him. . I now enter the court room with confidence, I leave having made a step in the right direction and I see that there will be an end to this stage of life of frequent visits to court. There are times in life that require you to leave it to a professional. With something as personal as your time with your children being in serious jeopardy it is very hard to hand it over and trust that it will work out. Joe can be trusted to handle the delicate and personal issues of your life with great care while relieving you of the stress that can diminish your quality of life. I did not expect to know what it is to be relaxed again. Nothing compares to peace of mind. Hire Joe to represent you, bring peace into your life.
