James W. Cawley Jr.

Best attorney I've ever met he was my court appointed lawyer and he still worked on my case for a year and a half subpeoning evidence filing motions and eventually going to a jury trial where the plaintiffs were 5 police officers against me so needless to say it was a scary situation to be in but the... truth was on my side and attorney Cawley came prepared with his a-game. The jury found me not guilty and the court officer told me it was the quickest verdict he's ever seen a jury return. Thank you jim.

He was a young lawyer when he represented me. In hindsight I believe he should have advised me differently on the case. I now believe I should not have taken a plea which caused me other problems as a result, and some major inconveniences. He did file a document which allowed me to end the proba...tion earlier than I might have. However I was not advised that as an out of stater, I would have to stay in Mass while on probation. Further after reviewing the police report for the first time in the courthouse, I was asked for an instant decision. The report in essence and in retrospect should have been a defense for the charges I faced. And the Plaintiff's witness which become my witness eventually getting a dismissal as my action should have argued and considered self -defense causing IMO the DA to drop the case.

I am currently being represented by attorney cawley who was appointeed to me by the public defenders office on a failure to requester charge I was charged by the clinton police department on october 2oth 2012 I was arrested by officier Karkl schmidt attorney cawley has refused to do a deposition on... detective schmidt aftetr he claims that I failed to notify him of my change of address when the officier know that I gave him a copy of the new lease of the residence that was moving to 20 days prior to my physcally moving to my new residence in fact attorney cawley has failed to develope any type of defense against these allegations
