Wrongful Conviction

Our family hired Jim to look at the circumstances of my brother's criminal conviction. He worked hard and kept us well informed. I think he's an expert. He treated us with respect, which wasn't true of some others we went to talk to. He also didn't snow us--he was realistic about our chances of chan...ging anything.

Great results in Motor Vehicle case

I had a very bad car accident and left the scene-a big mistake. James Diamond managed to negotiate with the property owners where I caused the damage, worked with my insurance company and then got me a short court probation. I never lost my license and never got a criminal record. He did a great job ...and I highly recommend him for motor vehicle or criminal cases.

Commands respect

I was investigated for something I did at work. I interviewed a few lawyers. I picked him because he seemed honest, smart and would work hard. He came through. He commanded the respect of the judge and everybody else involved.

Skilled Strategist During Investigations

Represented me during complex federal government investigation and was always thinking ahead. Smart lawyer, good thinker and skilled representer. Agents and prosecutors tried to bully us but he's not easily intimidated. Not all lawyers are strategic but he is. The earlier in a case you get him on ca...se the better, especially when there are many people being looked over for the same thing.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
