Posted by Jess Lokay | July 06, 2017 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

What a relief!

I ended up randomly googling lawyers in my area when I panicked after getting my only DWI from a checkpoint on a holiday. I'm in the healthcare field and feared this would forever affect my career. I found Jim because his group of lawers at TeamGreen were the best rated in Syracuse,NY. He treated m...y consult with empathy, stayed an hour late to review my case and walked me through the possible outcomes without any pressure of hire. Professional, caring, and very knowledgeable! Of course I hired him, his fee beat all the competitors, and he worked with my financial situation. the experience was as painless as could be (given this mistake costs thousands$) and it was reduced to a traffic offense. Additionally, I reached out to him for questions after the conviction, and he gladly called me back. Gladly would hire him twice if misfortune finds me again.

Amazing Lawyer

I couldn't believe I could have such a huge lack of judgment, but I did and I have had to pay the price for one night of drinking. Jim was a huge help with my DWI case. I walked into his office embarrassed, scared, upset, and mad at myself for what I did. From the moment of meeting Jim he was kind, c...ompassionate and extremely knowledgeable. He listened to me, looked over the situation I got myself into and explained what the next steps were. I sat with him for over an hour in which he made me feel as comfortable as I could feel at the time. I never felt pressured to hire him, but I'm so very thankful I did. I had a lot of questions from day 1 and all of my questions were answered in a timely and professional manner via email, text or over the phone. He explained the whole process in which I was not familiar with the legal system at all as I had never been in trouble before. Jim helped ease some stress as there is a mass amount of it when dealing with a DWI case. He gave me advice on what to do next in which I followed everything he asked me to do. There is a lot to go through, but take one thing at a time and get through it. I do have to say being organized, timely and doing everything Jim asks you do; you will get a more favorable outcome. This had been such a traumatic experience for me to say the least, but with an amazing lawyer such as Jim Daley by my side I got through it. On day 1 he said you will be a different person when this is all done and he was right. I couldn't ask for a better lawyer and I would recommend him to anybody who has got into trouble. Thanks so much Jim for helping me get through this experience and it's been great working with you!!

Awesomeness!

Back in April I was arrested for agrivated DWI with a blood alcohol content of .19! In the state of NY they will go back 25 years now any alcohol related offence and hold it against you. (Had an ai 20 years ago) I called team Green and talked with Mr Jim Daley. His knowledge and compassion to my sit...uation was impeccable. I called him the day before court and he drove almost an hour the next day to be there in my defense. I can not tell you how greatful I am for Mr Daley, he was always a phone call or text away, and on top of his game, always kept in contact with me. He managed to help me get a very favorable outcome of an ai and no interlock on my car. I was so happy with the outcome I felt compelled to write a little something although not much of a writer. If you find yourself in need of a great lawyer at a reasonable rate, I highly recommend Jim Daley, he truly is a class act!!! Thanks again Jim for all you have done!!! Sincerely, Timothy

Excellent

Jim Daley was recommended to me by a close friend. Jim was professional, knowledgeable in every aspect, and highly respected by his peers. He knew who to talk to and explained the process and how thing were going to happen. We were kept in the loop at all times and Jim was very easy to get a hold of ...when needed. His competence accomplished our ultimate goal.

Defense attorney for DWI

I hired Mr. Daley after my case went unsettled for over 2 years, and my first attorney kept not showing up in court with me, and the Asst. DA in the neighboring county where I was arrested didn't respond either in attempts to get this settled so I could move one with life. Mr. Daley immediately met ...with me, explained everything as where things were at and my best options for taking the consequences and getting it all settled. He took his time to be sure I understood everything, moved things forward, and got it all settled. I can't thank him enough. I would highly recommend him as an outstanding professional.

"Mr. Daley is a lawyer you can count on to guide you through the criminal law process. He has a great deal of experience in the field of DWI. When he as a prosecutor he worked for several years in the DWI unit. After he learned that field really well he moved on to major crimes in the felony trial unit.
