I am going to start off by saying this...I would recommend James to anyone in need of this kind of help. He did his homework and went to the scene of of the accident, got expert witnesses for the case. He is very knowledgable and knows his job thouroughly and is very passionate about it. He wants to help his clients and he truly does help!! I would recommend James to anyone in need of a genuine, true, knowledgable attorney and i will constantly thank him for everything he has done!

Mr Abate quickly and professionally resolved a ticket in a local jurisdiction- including handling an adjournment at my request. We found his legal secretary Megan Flynt to be highly supportive and communicative to us in e-mails, letters, and phone conversations in what was for us unfamiliar territory.

I was nothing but blown away by the high level of professionalism, kindness, and honesty.

I recently used Mr. Abate to defend me in a traffic violation case, and he was a pleasure to work with. Everyone in his office was knowledgeable and responsive whenever we had questions, and he kept us well informed every step of the way. His knowledge of the law and the court system was a great asset and he successfully argued my case with my best interest at heart. I would highly recommend James if someone needs an attorney.

Very Proffessional lawyer. I got the results way ahead of my expectations. He is someone whom you will find very easy to talk. He knows his stuff and he exactly know what he is doing. As this one was my first experience ever I would never go to anywhere else in future as I had really great outcome. Definitely recommended!!!

My name is David Volk, an attorney who practices primarily insurance defense work in Philadelphia. I have little to no criminal defense experience. My mother obtained a couple of traffic tickets in New Jersey. Mr. Abate was responsive to my questions and concerns. And while my mother was willing to pay money for his services, after considering the very unique facts of the case, Mr. Abate felt it was best for her to simply pay the fines and move on. There are not many attorneys (if any at all) who would turn down a case. He did so and exhibited a level of integrity you will not find in many attorneys. From one attorney to the general public, if Mr. Abate says he can help you with your matter, you should trust him. It is that simple. Best of luck.

James was differentientiated from the outset of my process. His professionalism and presentation stood out and it was an easy decsion to retain James. He was proactive and always kept me informed. I was very pleased with the outcome as he helped me get my traffic violation dimissed completely with no fine and no points.
Working with James is money well spent.

James is a talented, diligent, and perhaps most importantly, a responsive lawyer. I felt comfortable and comforted knowing he was handling my case in which I was accused of a low level crime. He was attentive to my needs and calmed most of my worries during a very difficult personal time.

I chose Mr. Abate because he was straight forward with me and gave a frank and honest assessment of my son's case, explaining all aspects of the law and what we were up against. He held our hands through the process and reassured us that this too would pass. We dealt only with him. Sometimes we had to wait to reach him because he was in court, but we preferred that over being passed off to an associate. In the end, his advice was excellent and his familiarity with the law, the court and its personal was helpful and a positive factor in resolving our case. We would unhesitatingly recommend him.
