James Edward Short

I have used Mr. Short for all my legal needs and advice for over 8 years now and he and his staff are always very personable and professional. I have always received sound solid advice from Mr. Short. I recommend Mr. Short to all my family and friends for any legal advise and/or representation. Mr.... Short and his staff are awesome!!! He always returns calls and has even taken my calls on Saturdays/weekends to address and answer questions. I would highly recommend James Short for your legal needs and representation.

James Short represented my son in court and we are very pleased with the outcome. He explained how the courts look at these types of cases and what will usually happen. We were prepared when we went to court and my son was able to attend rehab. He was given time served. It is wonderful to have a law...yer who keeps in touch with the family, visits with his client, and keeps us updated. He truly cares about his clients and their future. I will recommend him to anyone who needs legal assistance. It makes a difference to have someone fighting for you who cares, not just because you paid them. James Short is that attorney. We are very thankful we chose him.

My son received a speeding ticket and we had Mr. Short represent him. I was very impressed with him, not only as an attorney, but as a person. He was honest, straight forward and his advice was excellent. We had a good experience and I could tell he had a good rapport with the Judge also. I would... recommend Mr. Short for sure.

Mr. Short represented me on a reckless driving charge. He was very professional, competent and did an exceptional job in court representing me. As a result the judge reduced the charges to the lowest level speeding conviction. This saved me from having a reckless driving conviction on my record an...d from a huge increase in my car insurance premiums. If you are looking for a good attorney I would highly recommend Mr. Short.

Phenomenal Defense Lawyer! Mr. Short had the confidence to intelligently review the facts and circumstances of my case and craft a comprehensive legal strategy to yield the desired results without compromising his ethical and moral obligation. His interpersonal and public speaking skills were extraor...dinary and on parade; demonstrating a rare ability to articulate the truths of my case in a clear and concise manner before the Chesapeake J & DR Courts earning an unprecedented favorable ruling (dismissal). Mr. Short’s due diligence and commitment to my case far exceeded my expectation of a presumably straight-forward and seemingly incontestable Assault & Battery charge. The Law Firm of James E. Short, PLC is principally responsible for preserving my military career as a senior Naval Officer with over 20 years of faithful and honorable service threaten by force retirement. An amazing feat and noteworthy accomplishment! As such, I am unhesitant in recommending Mr. Short as your clear first-choice! His successes and diverse background showcases the unique skill set incumbent of a trustworthy Defense Attorney capable representing a myriad of clients, military or civilian in need of reliable legal representation.
