Dennis Roberts Attorney at Law

I can only repeat what others have written here. Dennis’ experience helped navigate me out between a rock and a hard place legally. He took control of the case and dealt with the plaintiff, the court, & my insurance company which had essentially ignored my phone calls & emails. I checked other local attorneys and even talked to some, but I had the most confidence in Dennis after talking with him over the phone. I never had any interaction with the court after I hired Dennis, he dealt with all my court dates & corresponded all happenings to me & what they meant for me. He is very down to earth & will fight for you while making the legal process as painless as possible. I can’t think of anything else I would want in an attorney. If you are in need of legal help, the easiest thing you can do to help yourself is give Dennis a call & see for yourself why others are so happy with his services.

Dennis Roberts is a legend. Truly. As his work in the civil rights movement, his board place at NORML and 50 years of the finest criminal defense work demonstrates, he is a legitimate legend and one of a kind. With Dennis on your side, you have nothing to fear. He’s the best of the best, known from coast to coast as one of the finest attorneys in the country. You can’t go wrong. Despite his fame, he is one of the nicest, most authentic people you will meet. He’s very attentive, easy to talk to, and totally down to earth, and won’t cost you an arm and a leg. It’s not about the money with Dennis, it’s about truly helping. Amazing. Call Dennis. You won’t regret it.

He gave me some great advice and was very friendly and professional. His advice put me on the right path. I could tell he is very experienced you would be well served to give him a call.

Dennis Roberts is a breath of fresh air when it comes to lawyer. He came to my rescue after a brief expensive encounter with an incompetent lawyer– who just wanted money (unfortunately, I did not do my research the first time around and just selected a lawyer that I googled and sweet talked me in to believing that he could actually help).
After becoming frustrated with incompetent and greedy lawyers in the Bay Area, I turned to the website for the Association of National Criminal Defense Attorneys. That is how I found Dennis. I combed through the list calling countless lawyers doing the free 30 minute consultation with each one. After going over my case, most of them told me that it would go to trial despite the lack of evidence, and all of the calls focused on money. I even contacted some of the California super lawyers who basically did the same thing. Finally I got to Dennis Roberts– and I explained how I was arrested on a bogus domestic violence charge (a felony), and how I had a lot to lose. I also explained to him how my lawyer at the time, wasn’t doing a very thorough job. During that very first phone call with Dennis he presented me with an effective strategy of how to get out both messes. Even though he was at dinner with friends at the time, he was empathetic to the situation and reassured me that he could fix it with the plan he that he had come up with. He was also able to give me a brief rundown of how the California law worked with domestic violence cases. After months of having anxiety– he was able to put it to rest within 30 minutes. He did not mention cost at all. He was kind enough to offer me another consultation the next day– which I gladly accepted.
When I met with Dennis in person, he was very jovial, kind, and professional. He advised me truthfully about how these types of cases work out in Alameda County, and his experience in working with that court system. Being sympathetic to my situation with the previous lawyer I had– he even gave me a break on how much he charged and implemented a payment plan. He reviewed my case file and listened to my concerns. Once the payment arrangements were made– he immediately drafted the contracts and got to working on my case.
He made himself available to answer questions and concerns, and was always there to advise me before going into court. Once we were in court he was highly aggressive and knowledgeable about the law. He was prompt, and always got my case addressed in court.
Eventually, Dennis did get my case dismissed– which was everything I prayed for, and that I knew that he could after our first conversation. Dennis is my lawyer for life. I would not hesitate to pick up the phone to call him to help me should I find myself in another unfavorable situation. If you find yourself in any type of criminal situation, do not waste your time with looking for another lawyer or even worse yet-​going with a public defender. Go with Dennis, he’s honest and he’ll do the work to get you out it.

I contacted Dennis recently, after he handled my case for me about 1.5 years ago. Basically to keep a long story short, i was arrested for domestic violence. While the case was bogus, and the charges were dismissed-​I found out the hard way that your arrest record stays with you. In other words, the state of California does not clear your record after they dismiss the charges. I did some research on my own before contacting Dennis. I found out that I could file an 851.8 with Alameda County Police Dept. After doing some research on what the process entailed, I immediately knew that I would need a lawyer. I ran to the phone and contacted Dennis. He was as reliable and courteous as ever. He even remembered my case! Dennis went to work immediately on getting my record cleared. And same as before, he was efficient, professional, and he did not try to gouge my pocketbook. It took some work on Dennis’ part, but my record was cleared. I trust Dennis completely, and I truly could not ask for a better lawyer.

Wow… where to I begin? I can’t even begin to describe my gratitude for everything Dennis has done. Embarrassing enough, Dennis has represented myself and a handful of my friends and family in a numerous amount of cases over the last 10+ years and is batting 1000!
When stuck in an unfortunate situation I would not call anyone other than Dennis Roberts!!! HIs extenexperience and results speak for themselves. This is THE lawyer you want to have on your side to protect you.

Anyone in need of an experienced criminal defense attorney in the Bay Area will be well served by Dennis Robert. Dennis cares deeply about criminal defense work, is a staunch defender of the constitution, a tireless advocate for his clients, and is an all around good guy. He has a great demeanor and a way of putting people at ease.
Dennis litigates cases in both state and federal court. He approaches his cases with tenacity and yet still makes the most complex cases appear extremely simple.
Dennis has represented several close personal friends and all have been extremely satisfied with their representation. If you are looking for someone to defend you in a criminal case or looking for counsel because someone has violated your civil rights, Dennis well represent you well.

Dennis is a very experienced lawyer and I frequently go to him for advice so that I am sure, as an activist, I am not accidentally committing any crimes. Since getting involved in a little politics, I have learned that there are a lot of crimes out there, like feeding people without a license, being pepper-​sprayed or caught in rubber bullet crossfire, that I had been unaware of.
When I pull out a piece of chalk and mark the sidewalk, I know that Dennis is there to defend me in case somebody objects to the First Amendment, which you can get arrested for mentioning and I am not kidding. Not every lawyer can handle this type of thing, in more ways than one, and so, I am not only still free but also eternally grateful.

In my life and career I have dealt with many lawyers but none as efficient, ethical, knowledgeable, or caring as Dennis Roberts. He has gotten me out of jams, prevented me from getting into them, and never ever shined me on or given me less than a total commitment to my problem. He has wisdom based on experience and a thorough knowledge of the law and how it is practiced. Think of your lawyer as a brain surgeon — who do you want operating on you, a kid out of medical school or the guy who has done the operation a thousand times. He is not about ego, he is about getting the best resolution for his client. He is fearless, he fights tooth and nail. If only more lawyers were like him.

Dennis Roberts cares about those he serves to the very essence of his being. His pursuit of the best outcome for those he works for is endless. When
Dennis works for you he is on-​the-​clock at all hours of the day and night. His tireless strive for the best possible outcome for whatever he is working on is rare and extremely admirable. We all look for these traits in those we employ in whatever field. Dennis just happens to be an attorney — the attorney who literally saved my life in my legal situation. If you are looking for an experienced, no non-​sense, attorney and need the best possible result in your legal situation, hire Dennis Roberts to represent you.

Dennis Roberts is the BEST attorney there is. I worked with him on several cases and he got the exact results we wanted in every single case. He knows the law like the back of his hand and how to negotiate deals like a pro. No other attorney compares to the experience and knowledge Dennis has because his work and the results speak for itself. I highly recommend Dennis to anyone who needs their case dismissed.

Dennis Roberts is a great attorney that gets the job done. Once retained, he is aggressively on your side and will fight the good fight to save your ass. He is not a weak lawyer that will try to get you to take a plea just to save himself a lot of work.
After a family member retained his services, I was able to see how hardworking and dedicated Dennis truly is. He is a true believer in civil liberties and personal freedoms and will fight like a tiger to defend your rights.
Not only is Dennis a stellar attorney, he is also a real character with great stories and an easy laugh. Since he was retained about six years ago, he has remained a close personal friend of several family members. We love Dennis Roberts!
