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!
