Fellow attorney

I have referred numerous clients to James over the years. I worked with him for many years in the DA's Office and as a fellow criminal defense attorney. I no longer practice criminal law. When i get a call asking for the best of the best: knowledge, patience, intelligence, integrity, experience, I... recommend James because he is honest and the attorney i would use if god forbid a family member of mine needed representation.

"Before I met James in-person, I had seen him on television discussing a big trial -- when I got a chance to watch him in court, I realized he's one of New York's formidable trial lawyers. Having worked in the same counties as James, I can wholeheartedly recommend him without reservation. He's fearless, experienced, and knows how to maintain the upper-hand against the government in both negotiations and litigation."
