James is the source for the intricacies of DWI law in Massachusetts. He's the lawyer that other lawyers call for advice on the area of law. He has earned that reputation with a razor sharp legal mind and a courtroom acumen to match it.

Jim is one of the best trial attorneys I have seen. His knowledge of operating under influence is unparalelled. He does a great job keeping clients informed and making them feel comfortable through the whole process. I send all my drunk driving referrals to him and have no concerns that the client will get the best service.

I have seen James many times in court; He is very well respected by judges throughout the state. I watched an OUI trial of his and he did an excellent job crossing examining the police officer, which resulted in a not guilty verdict. He fights hard for his clients. I would highly recommend him to anyone charged with OUI.
