When I found James, one of the first things he mentioned to me on the phone was that it was his job to worry about my case now, and I should do my best to put it out of my mind.

"Mr. Seplowitz is a high-skilled criminal defense attorney. He is a true gentleman in the courtroom. He is always prepared and has a strong grasp of the criminal code.

"James is a fantastic lawyer who is very familiar with the the criminal justice system in both New York and New Jersey. Working with him was a pleasure and it is a privilege to know such a helpful attorney. He is extremely knowledgeable and I would recommend him to anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney."
"James is an excellent attorney who is well respected by judges and other attorneys. He is smart, hard-working and a strong advocate. I highly endorse this lawyer."
"James is an outstanding attorney. He is very knowledgeable and well respected in the legal community. I have had the pleasure of working with James on several matters and believe he is a very skilled advocate. I highly recommend James to any prospective clients."
"James Seplowitz is one of the finest attorneys I have had the pleasure of working with in New Jersey. His knowledge of the law and approach to the profession are to be admired. He is an attorney of the highest caliber."
"I have known James since his internship with a prominent NJ Superior Court Judge, and suffice it to say, the strong, positive impression I had of him those years ago has not only been confirmed, but strengthened. He is a first-rate attorney of the highest caliber and integrity."
"Mr. Seplowitz and I worked together for 9 years, so I know his abilities and experience well. He is far more than just an excellent lawyer. He not only knows and understands the law, but he knows how to anticipate changes to it, how to strategize cases for the best possible result, how to use his extensive network of connections and his well-deserved reputation with prosecutors to get his clients outcomes they could not have imagined. If I were to get in trouble, he is the attorney I would turn to."
"I've been very fortunate to work with James on many criminal matters involving multiple co-defendants. I've seen first hand how considerate and patient he is with his clients. He answers every question honestly and carefully. It becomes very clear from working alongside James that he wants his clients to understand the charges facing them and the alternatives they have available. If they insist they are innocent, he has the rare courage to take the case to trial. I'm proud to consider him my friend."
"I have known James for many years and have always found him to be helpful and extremely knowledgeable. I readily endorse him as an attorney."
"I had the opportunity to meet Attorney Seplowitz while attending a National Criminal Law Seminar. After spending time with Attorney Seplowitz I have to say I was amazed about his insights into the criminal matters presented and about his insights into my own cases. It is rare to find an attorney who spends significant time developing his knowledge of the law. It is even more rare that the attorney is personable, smart and not afraid to take his client's case to trial. It is without hesitation that I endorse Attorney James Seplowitz."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I have known James since he began his legal career and consider him one of the top criminal defense/dwi defense attorneys in the area. James has an encyclopedic knowledge of cases and fights for the results his clients need. James is a great resource for fellow attorneys and always willing to go out of his way to help."
