Jim took over my case in the middle of it due to my previous lawyer needing to recuse herself. Jim immediately put in motions that my previous lawyer failed to do and I believe it was his hard work that helped the judge see that my charges should all be dismissed. He stood by me as I was summoned to be a testifying witness before, during and after the pandemic as the case in which I had to testify had been deemed a mistrial the first go around. He made sure I was not exposed to any potential charges after I was granted full immunity. He believes in what's right is right and doesn't get wrapped up in the politics. I am so greatful he was the one who stepped up for me. If I ever need an attorney for anything, I will be calling him immediately.
I had James as a lawyer he definitely is a beast he helped me and my brother and was amazing kept me out of jail and was a great help and I owe it to him the best decision I made

Excellent Attorney
Mr. Caramanica was hired to help us with a case of assault resulting from a serious mental health breakdown. He was extremely knowledgeable and compassionate. He always took the time to make sure we understood every aspect of the process.

100% Recommend
I hired James right before the pandemic hit. I thought it would be months before I had to go back into court for a hearing but almost immediately after the courts reopened he was able to get all charges dismissed via a Zoom hearing. Very professional, reassuring, and caring. Even after I left his office he made sure to check in with me. Hire James!

Excellent Attorney
Attorney Caramanica listened in great detail of my problem without interruption, however he recommended a civil attorney, he was honest in answering a question I had that I wanted his professional opinion on. I would recommend his legal services.

Great Lawyer, Great Guy
Jim answered all our questions, got back to us via email quickly and explained everything to us so we knew what was going to happen in the court room. We never knew how long it takes everything to happen in the judicial system! Jim guided us through every step of the way. We will be forever grateful for his service to our family.

Follow-up paper work
I lost an old docket from 10 years ago and he located it for and sent it to my home in Mesa AZ 3000 miles away. No charge for this service. This was very important to me for my new job.
