OUTSTANDING!!

James was extremely professional, upfront, honest, and personable. He is extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy, and VERY easy to work with. Fees are beyond reasonable!!! I was charged with a misdemeanor for a short lapse in auto insurance. With James' guidance, my case was dismissed in court. THANK YO...U!

Horrible communication

He rarely picks up the phone to assist. Horrible staff and communication! Stay Away!

I'm sorry you had this experience. Most people will receive a response from me within 24 hours and usually a lot sooner. As of today, I do not see any voicemails, emails or texts from you. Perhaps you do not have my correct information. You can reach my office at (631) 465-9500. My email is [email protected] and my cell phone is (516) 319-1810. As far as my staff, I have an intentionally small practice so all my clients deal directly with me. I do not know which "staff" you are referring to. If you have tried to reach me over the past week, I have been very busy and maybe I missed you, but again, I see no correspondence. If you would like to contact me, I would happy to assist. Either way, I wish you luck.

A pleasure to work with!

James was very helpful and informative from the day I contacted him. I hired him to represent me for tickets related to my car accident in February. He was great with communication, very informative and I felt confident that he could navigate this process for me. I am very happy with the results and... would recommend James to anyone that needs a criminal defense attorney.

Saved my life !

When I thought hope was lost and my life was over. This man restored it all for me! Got stopped twice by Suffolk PD, and after receiving more than a couple tickets, I knew I would have to pay a hefty fine and most likely lose my license. Well, was I wrong for thinking that? After consuming James for ...a day and a half, not only did I fix my license and bring it back into working order but this God sent of an attorney went to court in CI, told me to not to worry and go to work. I went to work and about 11AM gives me a call and asks “do you want the good news or bad news?” I said give me the bad news first to get it over with, he said “bad news is we won’t have anymore business with eachother after the good news” I’m shocked to hear that so I say give me the good news! “Good news is the judge dismissed both cases and threw back all out” I looked like a kid wanting to jump up and down at work. This man is the real deal ! Anyone that needs a lawyer or has a future case or even wants to consult him for any advice, hit this guy up ! He’s the man and I couldn’t be more appreciative and grateful for his help ! James thank you again !
