I was arrested in New Jersey for very serious narcotics offense. The minute I met James he made me feel calm and comfortable that my case would be handled properly while at the same time making it quite clear that I was in a serious bind and that he could not guarantee an outcome. I felt so assured ...I was in good hands I hired James to handle my case. James was realistic, confident and supportive of me through out the whole situation. James was always available to discuss my case, and he was always aware of the most recent events that were happening, I never once had to remind him or ask for an update. I would call him anytime and any day and he was there to speak to me. He would meet me anytime I needed to review the case. My case was so complex that anyone would think that there was no chance I wasn't going to jail. James understood what I was going through and was very supportive. He never guaranteed me anything but he always showed me a correct path on how we were going to handle each situation that arose. After a year and half of much tension James was able to help me to receive probation so I can move on with my life. I still can't believe how this was possible and neither can anyone who knew about my case. It was due to James professionalism that the end result of my case was beyond my expectations. I will always appreciate all the work and effort James had given to my case. I would recommend James to anyone with any criminal case. This man will do everything possible to achieve the best

I was referred to James by a friend who interned by him while he was in law school. My dad was away while the NYPD was looking for him. I contacted James and told him what was going on, instantly he comforted me and told me he was going to make sure he'll do everything to make things right. At my dad...s first arraignment, the charges against him were awful, James and his team didn't wait and started the investigation immediately. James helped get my dad out of Rikers in less then 24 hours so my dad can live his life until everything was said and done. Throughout the case James always had our back and always said the truth. James and his team were available at anytime of the day to answer questions or to even have a talk. We would meet at least once a week to give us updates and always made sure my dad had a smile one his face. In court James was always on fire, filing motions and making sure that he did what was best for my dad. Based on my dads charges he was looking at 25 years to life. James fought to the very end and got the case dismissed without a trial. James was not only our attorney but he became a lifelong friend. He saved our family and he gave my dad his freedom back again. I am forever thankful to James and his team and would highly recommend James Kousouros to anyone who needs any legal help. He's an attorney who fights with you till the very end!

James represented my father in his federal and state case. From the very beginning James was very transparent and realistic as to what we should expect making sure we understood everything that was going to happen. He was specific and strategic about what our defense would be and what he would look t...o get. He explained how the system worked and gave us options as to what we could do. He got my father the best results we could have ever hoped for especially given my father's prior convictions. James is frank, direct and gives you the facts so that you can move through your situation armed with all the information allowing you to be strategic and decisive in whatever course of action you decide to take.

Approximately for a total of four years my company was being investigated by the Attorney Generals office. On about March 2014 they raided our facility. When that took place we called Mr. James Kousouros immediately. Our charges ranged from the involvement of organized crime, to insurance fraud an...d tax fraud. After two years of dealing with these allegations, Mr. Kousouros had the charges dropped, and we pled out to tax fraud with no jail time. Although our situation was very stressful and very serious, he always made us feel that everything was under control. I offer the highest possible recommendation for Mr. Kousouros to represent anyone that requires a criminal defense attorney. He was always available to answer any and all of my questions and concerns. He goes above and beyond for his clients and explains everything in detail, Mr. Kousouros thinks and acts accordingly "on his feet"! I am truly grateful and indebted to him for the outstanding job he did representing my family and my company!

My son and his friend both 21 years of age were arrested in Manhattan, New York in July 2015 and charged with a class C felony. The two boys could not recollect any of the events on the night that they were arrested as both were intoxicated. I received a call to my home in Dublin, Ireland to say... that both had been arrested and were been held in the Manhattan detention centre. Neither myself or my wife had any knowledge as to how the legal system operated even in Ireland as neither my son or his friend had ever been in trouble of any kind before. We were in a state of shock and had no idea how to proceed. We were advised by the Irish Consulate in New York to hire a very good lawyer as the situation was very serious. Friend who were living in New York recommended the law offices of James Kousourous. I telephoned James Kousourous late on a Saturday night and hand on heart from that moment I started to feel some release from the extreme anxiety and stress that myself and my wife were experiencing at that traumatic time in our lives. James although outlining the gravity of the situation listed to what we could tell him about what had happened. He quickly moved to have the boys released from custody and posted bail. James ascertained all the facts from the boys as to what had happened and devised a clear strategy as how best to defend their case. I remained in Dublin but on a daily basis I received at least two telephone calls and many e-mails providing regular updates as to the progress been made on the case. Both myself and my wife genuinely knew that we had a top class lawyer looking after the interests of our son and his friend. We had entrusted their futures in his hands. James and his exceptional legal teams had meetings with the District Attorney's office and really defended the two boys rigorously. Every part of the process was explained to myself , my wife and the the two boys in a clear and precise manner. I travelled to New York on the day before the trial and met with James and his exceptional legal team together with the two boys. I really felt total confidence and extreme admiration for James and his team and going into court the next day I felt that we genuinely could not have had a better legal team on our side. In court James and his team performed like true professionals and the Boys pleaded to a violation charge as opposed to Class C Felony. This was accepted by the District Attorney and the Judge. The relief that both myself and my family felt at that time I honestly cannot describe. The boys had learnt valuable lesson and thank god they still had the rest of their lives to live. When I first spoke to James Kousouros on that traumatic Saturday night in July he said something that will live with me forever, "everybody deserves a second chance". James Kousourous definitely gave two boys ,who had put themselves into a very dangerous situation as a result of behaving irresponsibly, a second chance and both myself, my son and his brothers will be eternally grateful for everything that he has done. From arrest to the case finishing took exactly 4 weeks and although this period was the most stressful period in our lives we could not have got through it without the unbelievable efforts of James Kousouros and his exception legal team. From the very bottom of our hearts thank you.
