"James has worked with me on a number of very serious cases and recently helped me to get a young man out of jail on a Sunday night when many of my other lawyers were unavailable or unwilling to go to court without being retained in advance. The client's mother refused to pay anything until her son was out of jail and no one else was willing to spend 6 hours getting a defendant released without being paid at least $5,000 in advance on a B Felony drug case carrying up to 9 years in prison. James Magee took the chance and went to court and convinced the judge not to set the $50,000 bail requested. The client was released without having to spend a year or more in Riker's Island. It's that type of dedication and skill, along with being a former Assistant District Attorney who is respected and trusted by every judge and prosecutor in New York that makes James stand out amongst thousands of criminal lawyers. In our business winning is everything, second best is not good enough."

"I endorse this lawyer. Magee is a good guy, extremely helpful and knowledgable in criminal defense. None of those things should be underrated."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Magee is extremely knowledgeable in many different areas. We worked together at the DA's Office, and I know that he is an expert in the field of criminal law. But what separates Mr. Magee from the rest is that he has experience in civil litigation and personal injury as well. Simply put, if you need ANY type of litigation attorney, Mr. Magee should be the first lawyer you call."
