James Hal Medows advocates and negotiates - for you. James Medows minimizes the impact of a system that operates to inflict punishment before vindication. For me, James Medows nipped at the outset my potential wrongful arrest and did not try to financially exploit me to do it. Never go into a ...police station unprepared! The police can arrest you without saying "you are under arrest". The police don't read you your Miranda rights. The police - do - isolate you in a subterranean room within the police station to interrogate you without the protection of a lawyer. And I was the victim. A thief duplicated my debit card and stole money from my bank account. I reported the theft to the bank and the police. The detective assigned to investigate my case asked me to come to the police station to provide more information. When I went to the police station, the detective accused me of taking and reporting the money stolen. After questioning me for 40 minutes to effect a false confession, the detective released me. The second time the same detective requested that I come to the station I lawyer-ed up. James, after ascertaining that I was the innocent party, made the detective understand "very clearly" that I was the victim, and James' presence had the detective explaining "very nicely" - even though I thought the detective's excuse was lame - the reason for the second visit. James explained to me the consequences of being charged - even if erroneously charged. An 18 to 24 hour jail stay. An internet publicized arrest. Missed work. Potential loss of job. At least two court appearances: one for arraignment and bail and one for dismissal of the charges. The length of time to correct this mistake is at least 6 months. Bank fraud is a FELONY! James' handling of this circumstance demonstrated his committment to eliminating a societal trauma by preventing another negative interaction between the public and the police. Again, my thanks and esteem go out to James!

Where to begin? Mr. Medows offered to represent me at a rate that only large firms who send one lawyer to represent multiple clients at a time could even begin to approach. The individual attention Mr. Medows would provide me with at a lower price made hiring him a no-brainer. He met me in person at ...his office to discuss the case despite the fact that we had already covered the bases over the phone and via email. During the meeting, Mr. Medows proved to be quite personable as an individual and very passionate as a lawyer; I knew I was in very good hands. As it turns out, the DA decided not to pursue my case (likely due to lack of good evidence), and I got a letter from the courts stating that my case had been dismissed and sealed. Although my case was only four days away at this point, Mr. Medows, upon receipt of a text message from me informing him of aforementioned letter from the courts, immediately offered to refund my retainer fee. He promptly sent out a check refunding every penny I had paid him for his services. I have worked with three lawyers in the past (divorce, simple assault, and DWI), and none of them can hold a candle to the genuine interest Mr. Medows has in helping people, it's as simple as that. I highly recommend Mr. Medows to any and all people who are in a bind and want someone who truly cares about people to handle their case.

If you are looking for a lawyer I would, and do highly recommend James. He is super efficient. I have used him for over 6 years and have found him to be very good at what he does. You don't even realize just how good he is until you observe other lawyers in the court room stumbling over details or p...rocedures. He never stumbles over his words. He comes 100% prepared to court. He has already dealt with the D.A. when he comes to court. He is calm, collected, and reassuring. I would never use another lawyer. He is super honest and does not cheat you for more money. He could easily drag things along but he won't just to save you money. He is the most rear of lawyers and if you have the good fortune of coming across his name, use him. You will find out what I mean. I have every intention of never needing a lawyer again but if the need shall arise, his will be the only lawyer I would call. He is the only one I would put my trust in. Did I mention that he is an excellent lawyer? He is that good. Seriously.

James was quick in getting the case resolved and thorough in answering my many questions. He was very accessible by phone and by text and always took the time to get back to me. He was friendly yet to the point when we spoke. I also found him to be extremely trustworthy, as he told me what my options... were even if some of them wouldn't have benefitted him. His pricing was very fair and he went out of his way to be an excellent attorney.

James is an amazing lawyer and was highly professional, from my initial phone contact with him to the moment he saved me from a conviction and had my arrest sealed (pending my 1 year good behavior, or course) the absolute best outcome I could have asked for! James is is highly efficient and is respec...tful of everyone's time - The Judge's, The District Attorney's, and his Client's. He does talk fast, but that is a good thing, you will get all of the important information as quickly as possible. He was also very good at answering any questions I had, even the stupid ones... From the moment he returned my call about 10 days before my court date he was in constant contact with me via text and email, and even text me the night before my court appearance to find out if I had any final questions he could answer. Very comforting! The day of my DAT he walked out of the court room and said, "I negotiated the deal we were after (ACD), just walk into the court room and sit down", I walked into the room and there was about 50 people sitting and waiting to be called up, I barely even sat down and my name was called, James was waiting at the bench in front of the judge and motioned for me to join him, the DA told the judge what deal we had negotiated, James confirmed the deal and the judge spoke with me for 30 seconds to make sure I understood the terms of the deal, I said Yes, and we were done! James told me to wait in the hallway and he came out about 2 mins later to say good luck and goodbye! It really could not have been easier, or turned out better. Thanks again James! James always presented himself in an impeccable manner and was very well dressed on both occasions we met in person, he had a very good relationship with the DA, he quickly allayed any fears that I had about dealing with the Justice system and made the entire process as pleasant as possible. His fee was very reasonable, and absolutely the best money I've ever spent. His competitors quoted me anywhere from 2 - 8 times the amount James quoted me!! Seriously! I was on this site a few weeks ago feeling lost, confused and scared, trying to do as much research as possible to make sure I made the right decision. Take my advice, stop looking for someone to defend you, and call him, then relax! He will save you time, money, stress and your dignity. Sincerely, SW
