I was contacted over a weekend in August 2015 by the parents of Irish Students who had been detained and charged with a felony in New York. The parents were very distressed and worried and needed immediate assistance. Through a contact in the Brown Rudnick New York Office I was put in touch with Ja...mes. It is rare, if ever, in 33 years of my practice as a lawyer that I received the fulsome, genuine and wonderful comments about what James did for these students in New York. His kindness, professionalism, support, dedication and to top it all a great result will not be forgotten. These young Irish Students owe James back their lives. Well done James.

Mr. Kousouros is not only knowledgeable - thoroughly knowledgeable - but he is dedicated, hard working, straightforward and smart. He is what an attorney should be. He is an incredible asset to the profession and most definitely to the clients he represents, many of whom are professionals. He has ...compassion and kindness that permeates his work ethic. He listened, he worked hard and he cleared my name. He was not afraid to speak up, he defended me to the fullest and was not worried about the prosecutors, the judge, the clerks, the system. He took a stance, after much reasoning and thought and then fought for his client - ME.

When in doubt, never fear if you have Mr. Kousouros and his firm on your side. James, not only has the law down packed, he also brings with him a brilliant team of experts. James has this uncanny ability to make last minute deals with details, that his adversaries may well overlook. Most important...ly, he knows the judges, the District attorneys, and how the law works in the real world. We were so overwhelmed with the imperfect court system and rushed mediators, we felt drained. James' no-nonsense approach to the reality you face, is trumped by his extensive history, expertise, and confidence. His one on one approach is warming, and so necessary amongst so much unrest. James had been well referred to us by a family friend and earned our vote of confidence almsot instantly. He helped us remain steady throughout the lengthy process, as we literally laid our lives in his hands. James saved my spouse at the eleventh hour from a disastrous turn of events and helped untangle this huge mess. He sat us down with the good news, the bad news, and most importantly with options. In the end, the results, better than we had hoped for. Thank you for going above and beyond the call of duty. We owe you.

I used James back in 2002 for charges bought to me by NYC ,DA office. Drugs ,Murder,weapons charges you name it...and I was charge...In court the DA made me look like Charles Manson ..I never committed a crime in my life. But James Kousouros Is a GOD in that court room ,lol, no joke ,all charges were... dismissed...but came at a high price..I would love to sue the city for all this BS... Thanks again james

There is no state more vulnerable or frightening than being a criminal defendant. At such a time, there is no stronger presence by your side than James Kousouros. He is extremely knowledgeable. And he is indefatigable on behalf of his clients. My case concerned both new & traditional areas of la...w. Mr. Kousouros, with his decades of knowledge & expertise knew exactly how to handle my defense. Additionally, his keen legal instinct & dedication gave me a sophisticated, cutting edge defense. I could see the respect his defense engendered in both the judge & the prosecution. He sees holes in the prosecution case that others don't. He came up with avenues of defense for which the prosecution was unprepared. And his competence in the courtroom is astonishing: he skillfully questions witnesses into revealing every advantageous fact while minimizing every disadvantageous one, and he is equally adept in his arguments to the judge. Mr. Kousouros combines the best of small & big law firms in the defense he provides to his clients. There is no avenue of defense he won't chase. No amount of work is too much if it can advance your defense. He is thorough. He is respected, which means that both the prosecution and the judge takes him seriously, a huge advantage for a defendant. He does not give easy reassurances. He respects his clients & tells them the truth. I would trust no one else with my defense should I ever again need one. & I would recommend him above anyone else to friends & family.
