Posted by anonymous | December 13, 2020 | Hired Attorney
Bankruptcy
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.

We met with lawyers that was referred to us by people we know but was not happy with the consultation. Then we received a mailer from Attorney Roberts office and decided to take a chance. The first meeting went so well that we decided to hire him. No regrets. Our experience was very positive and we w...

Outstanding!
My condo was in foreclosure after being stopped temporarily by filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. After exhausting what I thought were all my options, and being denied (twice) a loan modification, I was desperate, and afraid my family would become homeless, as we had to money to move.

Very helpful!
Just got off the phone with Joe. He was very helpful and advised me on my options. He did not try and sell me on using him, but rather best next steps that I can try to resolve on my own. Will for sure be using Joe if I need the assistance of a lawyer on this matter.
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."
