Costa Mesa Homeowner
Fantastic job with helping us through our home purchase as well as our Refinance. Joe's expertise and long term experience have truly helped us navigate ALL of the financial aspects that arise when making a purchase and refinancing!

A middle income saviour!
I've used Joe 3 times, which tells everyone how pleased I am with his services, client compassion, and willingness to assist while charging very reasonable fees. I first hired him to help my soon to be wife short sell her house after having been caught up in the 2005 housing crisis by having a $...

Joseph is a very knowledgeable attorney that handled my case in a very professional manner. The time frame was also shorter than I anticipated. Whenever I was confused about something, he patiently explained it to me. I would definitely hire him again in the future if I needed to.

Replied last September 27, 2017This anonymous writer makes it clear that he or she was never a client. We screen prospective clients just as they screen us. If an individual in financial distress demonstrates an inflated sense of entitlement, cannot accept responsibility for their actions or demands that we engage in unethical behavior, we cannot, and will not represent them.
Joseph Arthur Roberts's Lawyer Endorsements
"I met Attorney Joe Roberts through a mutual acquaintance. I later reached out to Joe as I had a client going through a foreclosure and needed to help her understand her rights and responsibilities. I found Joe to be a wealth of practical knowledge. What most impressed me was Joe's facility with AB 2424, a newly enacted law in California that gives homeowners more protections in the foreclosure context. Joe helped me understand the remedies that my client could avail herself of. I felt very comfortable referring my client to Joe. As Joe noted during my conversation with him, blind trust in realtors or an overly optimistic expectation that the loan servicer will actually help a homeowner usually results in a bad outcome. Accordingly, homeowners should be working with an attorney realtor like Joe Roberts to make smart decisions about their next steps."
