"James is a very knowledgeable and diligent attorney, who doesn't hesitate to share his expertise. After reading one of his articles I reached out to him for advice on a matter that came across my desk, . He gave me--an attorney he had never met--very detailed information, and referrals for lawyers in my community that could provide more insight into local practice. I would recommend him to anyone."

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known James for several years. He is a hardworking attorney. His reputation, as a great criminal defense attorney, is well deserved, as he knows his stuff. He works with a very reputable and outstanding plaintiff's attorney in the area of personal injury and contributes significantly to the firm in their attempt to achieve good results for their clients. There is one thing you should not overlook. If you are in a lawsuit, the last thing you want to worry about is whether you can talk to your attorney or whether you want to do so. James is fun to be around. He is easy to talk to because he listens and responds to your concerns. However, he is the type of person to still be truthful in his assessment, even if it is news you do not want to hear. It is a characteristic you want in an attorney (sincere clarity). Importantly, he gives his cases 100% effort."
