My Social Sercuity Disability Case

After being denied twice from social services, Mr James E Short came highly recommended to me, by a reliable source. I was frustrated, tired and I just didn't understand how they turned me down. After meeting Mr Short, I felt at ease. He was very professional, informative, and thorough about handlin...g my case. He made sure I knew what to expect once we got a hearing and he kept me abreast of any forms or information that came in. Not ony that he was most kind and genuinely caring, and we won the case.

Speeding ticket

Jim was able to go behind and talk to the police officer before court, He asked the officer if I had been respectful while receiving a speeding ticket and he said I was. He was then able to get the judge to dismiss the ticket if I took a online driver safety course and pass and send in a copy of com...pletion to the courts . By taking this course I also get a reduction in the cost of my auto insurance. I would use James again without any question

Great guy in the community and great lawyer

I have known Mr. Short from his work in the community through service organizations and his helping the youth in Chesapeake. Mr. Short helped me regarding a real problem I had with Western Branch concrete. It was a great outcome. I also enjoy calling for all kinds of advice. His rates are very fa...ir.

Thorough and Supportive,

We found ourselves in unknown territory when our son was arrested for a DUI. Mr. Short took the time to answer all our questions. Walked us through every step of the process. We then needed him for services related to custody and visitation of our grandchild, again Mr, Short was there to assist us. H...e and his staff are extremely knowledgeable and thorough. We were pleased with the results and would highly recommend Mr. Short.
