Depends who you are and where you are. A middle class individuals in the modern day US justice system? Unless the US Gov is going after you for a particular reason, then you are probably going to have a great chance of a fair trial. But there are many other cases where there is no greater chance of justice with the official system than with a vigilante system.

All you're arguing is that very bad legal systems are about as bad as a vigilante system, which I agree with. The solution should be to try and reform the legal system, as a vigilante system will never be viable. Even in the interim, it's not like the vigilante system is better.
