James Clark Davis III

My son got in a bit of legal trouble that could have resulted in some jail time. Jim told us our options, responded timely to court requests and prepared thoroughly for trial. He thought of things that the court didn’t. The outcome was amazing. Jim is smart, friendly and kind but definitely gets t...he job done!

After a lack of judgement, I found myself with a DWI. I immediately searched AVVO for DWI lawyers in my area. Upon finding the law offices of Gerstenzang, O'Hern, and Sills, I was set up with Jim. At a time when I was extremely distraught, embarrassed, ashamed, and anxious, Jim helped me go throug...h the steps of properly setting up my case. His recommendations, such as pre-emptively installing an interlock system and receiving an alcohol and drug assessment helped immensely. Arriving at my court date with evidence I was proactive and showing I was responsible and had a one time lapse in judgement was extremely helpful. Jim was always available for any questions and concerns. Not only did Jim help me with my legal issues, he helped put my mind at ease during one of the most terrible experiences of my life. Mr. Davis is extremely knowledgeable, competent, prompt, eloquent, personable, and understanding. Thanks to Jim and his law office, I believe I received the best possible outcome for my case. Jim is honest, and reasonable. I would extremely implore anyone in the Albany area who needs a DWI attorney, to employee his services!

I was charged with a DWI in the Summer of 2012. I was found to have an elevated BAC and had caused an accident with a parked car. I felt like I was done, the evidence seemed to be there but the first thing I read when seeking advice was "get a good lawyer". I wasn't sure where to turn but I found a 2...4 hour line for DWI defense in the Capitol region for the Gerstenzang, O'Hern & Hickey firm in Albany NY. The next day (a Sunday morning) I was in touch with James Davis. He proceeded to go through all paperwork and immediately pointed out some holes in the accusation papers. He also informed me that my area had tougher than average DWI prosecution due to lax prosecution in years prior. He told me my odds of getting reduced charges but always said(a trademark of his) is that "We are going to swing for the fences." Throughout the pretrial time frame he brought his A game and was there for me at all times of every day(I felt bad when calling and clearly hearing his kids in the background). He swung for the fences and hit a home run. The case never get to trial and he had all but 1 charge dropped(failure to stay in lane). I only appeared in court 4 (2 in the first week) times total over 6 months James is a great guy and a great lawyer you can rest assured that you will get the best possible outcome when your trial is in his hands.
