"Will absolutely get you the best outcome. Those who say he doesn't have difficulty taking accountability and ownership of their own decisions. If you're hesitant to retain him because you're skeptical about his attorney fees being lower than most of the others, move past that doubt and give him a chance. He's also great at communication between all parties before, during, and after your case."

"He is very professional and helpful. He was able to get a reckless driving charge thrown out for me earlier this year. His pricing was good compared to others too. Highly recommend."

"James is the elite attorney you want when it comes to the ins and outs of criminal cases. The complexity to me was astonishing, but James knew exactly what needed to be done. I have the utmost of trust in anything James says and his advice. He treats you like a friend and is not one to degrade you or anyone else involved. James has a very keen sense and is very level headed in coming to equal agreements with the criminal system. I feel, you will feel the same in hiring James and getting these rough times behind you. James is a strong advocate for those that need tough love and he is more than willing to help you get on path way to a better life after these situations."
