I don't know if its possible for a criminal case to be a positive experience, but if so, working with James made it about as bearable as possible. Highly Recommended for a number of reasons. I am an artist and was arrested for graffiti in Brooklyn, I was referred his among a few others' services a...fter asking my public defender at arraignment (court demanded private counsel for me). I went in for a consultation and it became clear James did not know this public defender who had recommended him - which I saw as a very good sign attesting to his reputation. James was able to get my charges reduced in a way that, to me, was nothing short of magical. I personally know people who have been charged with the same infractions, and they did not receive anywhere near the same outcome I received with James' services. His knowledge and professionalism saved me a small mountain of time and money. There are a few reasons I would suggest his services to anyone in a similar situation. First off, he's smart - was very knowledgable yet also pragmatic and focused when discussing the outcomes surrounding my case. Second, he's sociable and extremely alert. As odd as it sounds, this was, in my estimation, probably the most crucial element of getting the deal I got - he scheduled an informal meeting with the district attorney and as he put it, "for the price of a cup of coffee", was able to reach a better deal for me, getting misdemeanors dropped down to a violation, reduced punishment, etc. The deal ended up working out even better down the road, once again because of his knowledge of the court's daily operations and day-to-day players. He seemed to know everyone in the courtroom at the time and genuinely care about them on a personal level. Last, he's affordable, and it was immediately obvious to me that he is not concerned about price gouging. In my specific case he helped me with a few details post-sentence that went above and beyond our retainer agreement. He didn't have to do that. As Goethe said, "You can judge a man's character by how he treats someone with whom he has nothing to gain." Also, he's got great style. Couldn't be happier with his services or recommend him more highly. To put it colloquially, he rules.

My son had a violation of protection order against him (which was not intentional), for which he turned himself in. The day & process was long & arduous. However, Mr Medows responded immediately to my calls & texts, explained everything, & came and sat with me while I was waiting. In the courtroom, I... could not have been happier with his defense. There was no guarantee my son would leave the same day, but he got him out. The prosecuter asked for $10,000 bail & we left with no bail on his own recognizance. I can't tell you how grateful I am to James Medows.

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!

I hired Mr. Medows from out of state to help me with an old charge in NYC. I found Mr. Medows very responsive, be it by text or phone. He gave me excellent advice. Met me at the courthouse and negotiated on my behalf to have the charges disposed with no fines. He made a very stressful situati...on extremely easy and his rate was very reasonable. I highly recommend, Mr. Medows. Sent from my iPad
