Meet Devin Blue Roberts, J.D.
Devin Blue Roberts founded North Shore Legal in 2025 to bring clear, honest guidance to people facing some of the hardest moments of their lives. Before opening her own practice, Devin spent six years as a prosecutor with the Grand Traverse County Prosecuting Attorney's Office. Experience that gave her an inside view of how the state builds a case, what it takes to prove one, and where the process breaks down for the people caught in it.
That perspective changed how she thinks about defense. "If I believe in one side of the justice system, I have to believe in both”. It's a philosophy that shapes every case she takes on: analytical enough to know what the prosecution has to prove, and compassionate enough to remember there's a person, not just a case file, on the other end of it.
Devin's path to law started earlier than most. She earned a double bachelor's degree from Olivet College in Criminal Justice, with a concentration in Corrections, along with Sociology, Anthropology, and a minor in Social Work. She went on to graduate from Cooley Law School.
Today, Devin represents clients across Traverse City, Grand Traverse County, and Northern Michigan facing criminal charges, including DUI/OWI, drug offenses, assault, felonies, and misdemeanors, along with driver's license restoration and estate planning matters. She's especially known for her work in criminal sexual conduct defense and expungement cases, where a clear-eyed, steady advocate matters most.
