Villanova University college student

I have known James Doyle for over six years now, and the more I got to know him, the more I realized how smart he is. He has helped me with countless legal advice ranging from disputes with former landlords, to under ages, to criminal mischief charges. with the rental agreement, my friends and I ren...ted a house, and after our lease was up, the landlord wanted us to pay thousands in retribution to furniture and other mis. objects that were already broken when we got there. He advised us to sign an agreement outside of the courtroom to prevent a lawsuit of over $2,700 plus courtroom fees. Our backs were against a wall, we could justify somethings and perhaps get off on them, but the rest we could not prove. They were not our fault but since we did not take any pictures before entering the place, there was no proof it was not us. The agreement stated after we paid, the landlord could not come back and sue us for more, which saved us potentially thousands. With the underage, a friend of mine climbed a 20 foot Temple University flag pole, stole their flag and was arrested two blocks later. He was charged with criminal mischief and an underage. This could potentially mean a suspension of driving license, hundreds in fines, and a plentiful amount of hours for community service. When they went to court, James met with the DA, created a profile for his client stating how the is an upstanding Villanova student, first offense and is willing to pay retribution for the flag. He also said a few other things, and eventually all the charges were dropped. James is a great lawyer with plenty of experience and knowledge for such a young good-looking lawyer. He is not a typical lawyer, he has a wide range of knowledge of the law and could help with almost any kind of law.

James Doyle-Highly Recommend

James Doyle recently helped us with the sale of our home. James was extremely professional, and thorough. He explained every step to my husband and I so we were completely informed and comfortable with the process. Since James was able to help us execute this contract and help us with the paperwork... and setting up the settlement date and meeting, we were able to sell our home without the cost and hassle of a realtor. James was quick in expediting the sale and paperwork so we were able to complete the process in just about 30 days. Given that this was our first time selling a property without the use of a realtor, we had many questions which James was quick to answer and made us feel extremely comfortable. The sale went smoothly and all parties were happy (buyers did not have a realtor either so they relied on James' assistance as well). I will recommend James to any and all of my friends and family who are in need of an attorney in the future and we will be using James' services again in the future.

hungry and diligent

Mr Doyle is a very hard working and very persistent, young attorney. He shows all of the qualities you would want in your defense lawyer. As a lawyer just starting out, he is miles ahead of other lawyers with his experience and he is very hungry, all of which point directly towards the notion that ea...ch and every time he will work tirelessly and diligently to fight for you and your respective dilemma. Highly recommend. Thank you for your hard work, Jamie.

Expunged record request completed QUICKLY & hassle-free by James Doyle

While applying to my dream job, I was afriad a small run in with the law from many moons ago would show up and distract the future employer from selecting me as the right canidate. Within two days of contacting James Doyle, my paperwork was complete to have my record expunged. He took the time t...o explain to me the process and costs up front, no hidden fees or suprises. Will certainly hire him and/or refer him to anyone who has any issues or run ins with the law - past or current.

Excellent Representation

James Doyle is a very trustworthy and excellent selection as an attorney. James represented me in a case, and he provided me with the best representation throughout the entire process. James’ professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy character made me feel he was truly working for my best interest... at all times. He always kept me informed as progress was made, and he always remained positive and confident. There was never a time I could not contact James in a reasonable amount of time. For these reasons, I highly recommend James Doyle as an attorney, and I will absolutely recommend James to my friends and family members. Although I hope I do not need an attorney many times in the future, James will certainly be the first person I call!
