It was a pleasure working with Mr. Short and his team in the resolution of my case. His entire staff was always available, responsive and professional. After having hired and "fired" 2 previous attorneys for poor service, it was a joy to finally have someone working with me. Thank you Mr. Short ...and to your entire team!!

Right from my first consult to the end, Mr. Short was honest with me and did everything he could to lower my offense. Through the time he represented me, Mr. Short lowered my charge from a class 1 misdemeanor to just a speeding ticket. If I ever need legal counsel again I will definitely go to Mr. Sh...ort.

Mr. Short was wonderful in dealing with my domestic assault case. After concluding my consultation I decided immediately to hire Mr. Short to represent me. With the help of his assistant, purely for quick response for any questions I had during my case, Mr. Short never failed to keep me up to date wi...th any and all information I needed and requested. Mr. Short displayed wonderful knowledge of my case and never let up on the judge while consitantly reitterating the importance of not selecting a deferred block so that I may one day complete an expungement. Today, 4 Jan 2017, was the last day in court for my expungement hearing. All went great and my expungement is in the works just waiting on paperwork to process through the system. Mr. Short was able to get finish my case with a "no conviction" and also was able to get me "first time offender status with a not deferred outcome" allowing for my expungement. I only had to complete an angeanagement class. All in all Mr. Short would definitely be my first choice for representation in the future.

If you need a top defense attorney who is professional, trust worthy, articulate and equitable then look know further. Jim has an exceptional work ethic and leverages all of his resources available to resolve any legal issues. Our family had a need to use Jim as a lawyer and he went way above and b...eyond our expectations and was able to get our case dismissed. If you need a lawyer in Virginia, I highly recommend Jim Short.

Mr. Short is an extremely personable attoruney and was the only reason I was able to get my traffic violation from reckless to speeding. When first meeting with him I felt like I was meeting with a friend/family member and that's because he's 100% invested in your best interests. If you're looking to... resolve any criminal defense, DUI and DWI, family, social security, or guardianship disputes in Hampton Roads give him a call.
