I initially contacted James for my daughter to see if he could challenge some of the sections in her separation agreement, which was filed in Virginia. She'd moved back to Texas and needed an attorney in Virginia. The first thing that impressed me was that James returned my call on a Saturday after ...I'd called his assistant Friday afternoon. My daughter emailed her papers and set an appointment for a few days later. James said there were some possibilities for argument, but the cost would likely outweigh the return. He was careful to explain everything in layman's language instead of legalese, was patient and took as much time as necessary to ensure that both of us understood everything about the process. I appreciated there was never an indication that he could get more than the agreement stipulated or recommend we should take it into a courtroom, although I believe he could have done that and enriched himself at our expense. James was completely above board and I felt good that he'd given my daughter the sound advice. I'm very impressed with his attitude, and I wouldn't hesitate to call him again if I need legal services. I only wish he practiced in my city.

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.

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.

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.
