General Information
Description
Richard M. "Richie" Roberts is an American defense attorney licensed to practice law in the state of New Jersey. Roberts was a former law enforcement officer who worked as a detective in the Essex County Prosecutor's Office and Federal Bureau of Narcotics. After completing a law degree at Seton Hall University and passing the bar examination, Roberts served as an Assistant Prosecutor in the Essex County Prosecutor's Office. Roberts is recognized for his role in the investigation, arrest, and prosecution of African-American "drug kingpin" Frank Lucas who operated a heroin smuggling and distribution ring in New York City's Harlem neighborhood. In addition to bringing down Lucas's operation, Roberts's investigation also uncovered police corruption connected with the drug trade. Lucas's criminal enterprise and the investigation by Roberts was the subject of the 2007 film American Gangster starring African-American actor Denzel Washington and New Zealand actor Russell Crowe. After Lucas was incarcerated, Roberts entered private practice as an attorney specializing in criminal defense, and was retained by Lucas as defense counsel.
