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!

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.

Saving grace!

I reached out to James after receiving his letter and my court date was the following day (6/27/23) at 11am. I went with my gut based on the reviews here and sent James everything he asked me for. I was driving my friends car back home from my fathers funeral on 6/7/23 and got pulled over a moving vi...olation. The officer gave me a ton of tickets. It turned out my friends registration was suspended so I got a misdemeanor for that plus multiple moving violations and vehicle violations (side window tints, windshield tint, apparently brake light was out). I was facing a criminal charge (potential 30 days in jail) with over 20+ points that would’ve taken away my drivers license because of an officer on a power trip. I had just buried my father and left the cemetery 30 mins prior. James went to my court arraignment, as I could not make it, and got all of my tickets dismissed except for one, which was turned in to a parking violation ticket for $225. He protected my clean driving record and my clean criminal record. Truly a blessing in disguise, I can not explain my gratitude. I spoke to him only once for about 20 mins to discuss the case, and for 10 mins after he represented me in court to discuss the outcome. It was that easy. I have never been so impressed with results.

Best Lawyer ever

Basically I had a lapse in my insurance which I didnt knew about and DMV also didn't notify me so they suspended my registration. Cop ran my license plate and gave me 8 misdemeanors. Scared and worried because this never happened to me before and I have never been to court. I was about to pay up som...e other agency who were charging my alot of cash and didn't even let me meet the attorney until the day of the hearing. I just casually checked my mail, Mr. James Schwartz's letter came and gave him a call. He was very convincing and straight forward. I met him in person last Saturday and I swear he did exactly today in court what he told me in person. Got my misdemeanors dropped and I paid my fine and all of this was done within 20 to 30 minutes. Best attorney ever .

Great lawyer!!!

I highly recommend anyone looking for a good lawyer to call Schwartz!! In a dire situation I needed help had no lawyer at the time. Difficult case and was still able to dismiss with just some community service. Very professional, honest, and made me feel he cares for my situation and best interests ...and not just money. Saved me in a sticky situation that had evidence too. Highly recommend definitely call him. Thank you James Schwartz and Paul Seres!!!
