Saved my livelyhood

Mr. birch was referred to me by a friend, i had gotten two moving violations,crossing a double line and failure to yield, totalling 5 points , my current driving job and my potential MTA job was in jepordy, so i hired Mr. Birch he was very professional and he assured me me he would do his best t...o get these tickets dismissed after a few postponements and thats exactly what he. Did, I cant thank him enough for saving my job and my future at the MTA. i would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a good traffic lawyer.

Vindication!!

Fantastic experience!! I received a ticket for being on cell phone which, in fact was a water bottle that I was drinking from and not a cell phone that I was talking on. Office had no interest in my explanation. James asked for all supporting documents to clearly show that I was not on cell and he ...took it from there. I did not need to worry about anything from that point forward. James patiently worked with courts to return a not guilty decision. I would absolutely recommend his services.

Non-responsive and Unprofessional

James was personally referred to me by a friend, and regardless of that fact, his professionalism was nowhere to be found. James made multiple assurances to me regarding my case, and told me what he figured I wanted to hear. He took his fee, and then promptly disappeared. I called his office 5 times,... never got a hold of him, and left messages for him to call me back. I have heard nothing for well over 8 months now. I emailed him 4 times, not once did he reply. Not a single call or email returned. So, not only did he lie to me about my case, he ignored any attempt of contact whatsoever. I would urge anyone thinking about using this lawyer to take their case elsewhere.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
