James Derik Hester

Appearing in court for the first time in my life was a scary prospect. I needed someone on my side, so I searched around for defense attorneys and eventually found James Hester. Hiring him was absolutely the right decision. Mr. Hester made my scary day in court seem like something I could handle.... He made himself personally available whenever I called. I had a lot of questions. He patiently answered all of them. He wasn't done until I had the information I wanted. He clearly knows his stuff. He explained legal technicalities in a way I could understand. But he also understood my situation, and he could get to the heart of the matter and talk about things from my perspective. At the end of the day, he was there to help when I needed him. He got me the result I wanted. I get to see my kids grow up. What more could I ask for? I'm glad I hired Mr. Hester and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

I decided to hire Jim after seeing positive reviews for him here and having my free consultation with him. Although I spoke with several attorneys first, I was very impressed by the amount of time he spent with me explaining things to me, as well as the empathy he expressed regarding my situation. He... even offered for me to reach out to him with further questions even if I decided to not hire him. My thought was that if he was willing to give this much detailed attention and care for a free consultation, it demonstrated an attorney who took a special amount of care and consideration for the work that he does. Therefore, I decided he would be the best choice for my attorney. Throughout the entire process he was quick to respond to communications, always made himself available, and was patient with my many questions and concerns. Furthermore, I was able to walk away with my charges being ultimately dismissed. It was a pleasant experience working with Jim and highly recommend hiring him.

When I first talked to Mr. Hester about my case I was in a panic and very stressed but after talking to him I felt a lot better. He answered all my questions and kept me well informed throughout my case. He never made me feel like I was asking too many question or that I was a bother. He was on top o...f my case and came very prepared. I would recommend everyone who needs a criminal defense lawyer to hire him.

He went above and beyond to find out everything about my case. During covid he kept in contact even came to my job so I didn't take time away from my every day work life. Everytime I had questions he always had the answers. It made me feel very comfortable having him handle my case. After all the wor...k he did my case was dismissed cause I trusted his word and he took care of everything. He is highly recommended.
