Let James Medows Work For YOU

I found James Medows to be very knowledgeable, trustworthy, understanding and hard-working. From the very beginning of my journey through the court system he was there for me, explaining everything, and providing essential, sound, legal advice. He doesn't make any false promises. What he does is ...work tirelessly for you in order to ensure the best possible outcome for your case. He has a very good rapport with the assistant district attorneys, district attorney and judges. He explained every step of the process to me throughout my court case, negotiated diligently on my behalf, and secured the best possible outcome. Most important, James was there for me to answer any questions that I posed to ease my mind at all times, both inside and especially outside of court on his own time. He also helped me greatly in personal issues and other matters on the periphery of my case. I can write this review in the comfort of my own home due to the hard work of James Medows. If you want an honest lawyer that you can rely on and REALLY work for you, I certainly recommend Mr. Medows.

Charged with 6 Misdeameanors, retained James Medows and walked away without a criminal record !

I was going through the worse time of my life. I was charged with 6 misdemeanors. I retained Mr Medows and he immediately began to work on my case. As A result of my arrest, I was facing the loss of my teaching license, my house, my car and everything else :( Mr Meadows was able to negotiate a deal w...here I walked away with a non-criminal violation and NO criminal record. Mr Medows is sharp, knowledgeable and has great oratorical skills. Additionally he has great rapport with his colleagues (Judges, DA's etc). James Medows is highly professional, respectful and compassionate. He will work hard on your case and call/text you updates and answer all of your questions. Mr Meadows was able to get me a earlier court date and my case was resolved quickly and I am moving forward with my life. James Medows restored my livelihood. I highly recommend him. His rate is reasonable and he will work hard to get you a favorable disposition. I cannot thank James Medows enough for his hard work and dedication with regard to my case!

Sincere and compassionate

Mr. James Medows is extremely compassionate and sincere. He did not treat myself or my son like clients he treated us like if we are personal friends or family. He was completely and thoroughly engrossed in helping us since the first phone call. Mr. Medows left no stone unturned. I was honestly surpr...ised on how efficient and professional he was and how comfortable he made myself and my son feel. I can go on and on about Mr. Medows I would definitely recommend his services to anyone in need of an Excellent attorney. Caring, compassionate, affordable, professional and thorough. It's unbelievable to say but he was on a level unsurpassable by I would say most attorneys in his field. He was so compassionate that one conversation consisted of Mr. Medows letting me know that regardless of time day or night even if it meant 4am to please contact him and he would immediately communicate back. He is definitely the attorney you would want if ever in a criminal situation. Thank you so very much James....

Honest lawyer who genuinely cares about his client.

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.

James is Excellent! Dont waste any more of you time looking for any other Lawyer!

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
