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 work!

Jim helped my out with my DWI. I met with him for the first time the day after my arrest. From that point forward I felt that I was in good hands. All my questions were answered. He explained the process which for a person not familiar with the legal system helped ease some stress. All the differ...ences between the laws and what DMV does where explained and what I would have to do given the possible outcomes. Through his efforts I was able to plead to a lesser charge and avoid criminal charges. I just had to do what they told me to. Thank you Jim!

First time DWI arrest

This DWI arrest was my first time being in legal trouble, and it was devastating. After a few days of denial, I finally started researching lawyers and came across avvo. I narrowed it down to a few lawyers/law firms that had excellent reviews and scheduled initial consultations with each. Mr. Daley c...alled me soon after I emailed the Team Green Lawyers and I was able to meet with him within a few days. When I came in for my initial consultation, the woman at the front desk was really friendly (this actually makes a big difference when you are in a position where you feel like a terrible person). Mr. Daley greeted me in the waiting area almost immediately after and brought me to his office. He was empathetic/relatable and really informative. He explained the charges, my options , and what everything would ultimately cost. He answered all of my questions in detail. I think I spoke with Mr. Daley for over an hour, and never felt pressured to "choose him." He's a good guy, and I did choose him. I called Mr. Daley a lot, and he always got back to me right away if I didn't speak to him that same day. He had me complete the Victims Impact Panel and referred me to a drug/alcohol counselor for evaluation before my court date. It was great to get this done beforehand because I wanted to put this all behind me as soon as possible. Mr. Daley was also able to have my court date moved back because the initial date was on a day I had a college class I could not miss. On the day of my court appearance, Mr. Daley already worked out a deal with the DA to have my misdemeanor DWI conviction reduced to a traffic infraction, DWAI. Originally, I had two tickets for DWI (one they issue at the time of arrest and the other once you are at the station and consent to a breath test with a BAC of .08 or greater) as well as a ticket for failure to come to a complete stop at a four-way stop. All of these charges were dropped after agreeing to the lesser charge of DWAI. I am really pleased with how quickly Mr. Daley was able ot take care of this for me. He stayed in contact with me and was always prompt about getting back to me to answer any questions. I would recommend Mr. Daley to anyone facing similar charges, he did a great job. My only recommendation to clients looking to hire Mr. Daley is to maybe research an alternative drug/alcohol evaluator other than the one he refers to you, which will be Forensic Consultants (cost $175). I say this ONLY because there may be a less expensive option (like Syracuse Community Health Center or something like that). Good luck, and it gets better!
