Passionate Defenders of Justice To Help You Pursue The Truth & Second Chances

Attorney Michael Roberts

Award-Winning Rising Star Attorney
Michael Roberts, New Jersey Criminal Lawyer

Michael Brett Roberts has believed from an early age that every person accused of a crime deserves a zealous defense. No matter your age, ethnicity, gender, or past, Michael feels you need your attorney fighting for you like they would fight for their own freedom, money, or reputation. Michael believes that good people make mistakes and he believes in second chances.

For the past ten years, he has been honing his craft by taking on tough cases, dealing with difficult judges and prosecutors, and, most importantly, by helping his clients. He has handled matters ranging from domestic violence to possession and distribution of CDS to first-degree murder.

He was honored to be awarded the New Jersey Law Journal New Leaders of the Bar Award in 2015 and 2016, and the Middlesex County Bar 2015 Young Lawyer of the Year. He has been recognized as a Rising Star by Super Lawyers® for the past four years. Michael has also been featured on local television speaking on gun rights, firearm laws, and bail reform. He has been a featured presenter to other lawyers on various topics throughout New Jersey. Michael proudly serves as a Trustee to the Middlesex County Bar Association, Secretary to the Middlesex County Bar Foundation, Secretary to the New Jersey State Bar Association Criminal Section, and is the head coach to the Rutgers University Mock Trial, the same university where Michael earned his J.D. and his bachelor’s in political science and philosophy.

Learn About His Success

5 / 5 stars
Without going into too much detail about my case, Mr. Roberts achieved what was considered an impossible outcome for cases like mine. He was incredibly professional throughout the entire process and the staff at his firm were very helpful with sending out reminders of upcoming court dates. Although he is on the more youthful end of the spectrum regarding attorneys, he is an up and coming all-star to keep an eye on. Furthermore, his passion for wanting to help Rutgers students through their legal issues, as well as being a mentor for them, was the deciding factor in my choice of attorney. I highly recommend that you hire Mr. Roberts because he will take care of you and always keep your best interest in mind.

What Our Clients Have to Say About Us

  • I highly recommend using Mr. Teeter for any legal cases.

    “Bottom line, no points and a very minimal court fee, and a very easy court date which I would not have been able to do myself.”

    Janak

  • He did not disappoint!

    “Matthew took the time to explain to her everything that will happen at court which made her confident and prepared.”

    Michael

  • Matt made me comfortable throughout the entire process. He treated me with respect and explained anything I didn't understand.

    “Absolutely is the best lawyer. I have never had a run in with the law until now and Matt made me comfortable throughout the entire process. He treated me with respect and explained anything I didn't understand. In addition to his great personality, there was open communication. I was reminded of my court date and received responses to any correspondence I sent in a timely manner. I hope I don't have to have a lawyer again, but if I do, Matt will surely be the one I go to. Thanks again for everything!”
