Let me preface this review by saying that I have been involved in the insurance profession for over 20 years and have dealt with literally hundreds of attorneys in 5 states, I have never dealt with a more honest or hard working attorney than Mr. McMinn. I recently had a need for an attorney r...esulting from an incident that a vehicle that I own was involved in a hit & run accident, I hired McMinn based on his excellent reputation in the Winston-Salem court system, which is where my case was being heard. I won't go into the full details but I charged for not providing the details of the accident that I wasn't even involved (other than owning the vehicle) and was treated unfairly by the officer and needed an experienced attorney that really understood the law and could provide sound counsel. Mr.McMinn exceeded my expectations! He gave me his personal cell phone and answered every call / text over the course of the 6 months that it took my case to be resolved. He advised me of all the possible scenarios and was never condescending or made me feel dumb when asking questions. He fought for nearly 6 months to get my case dismissed which was the right thing, vs pleading. This took significantly more time/effort on his part but he was adamant that was what should be done. I can honestly say that Mr. McMinn is the best attorney in Winston-Salem for me and if you need an attorney that is going to really fight for you and your best interest, I think he is the best attorney in Winston-Salem for you too! He was concerned about doing the right thing vs just how much money he would make on my case. That was refreshing to me and is why I felt the need to write this review. I wish all attorneys treated their clients like James McMinn treated me. 5 stars++

Mr. Mc Minn was exactly who I researched before hiring him. The best of the best outcome was recieved. Being charged with felonies, but ended up with minor misdemeanors. In court he was very professional and cool at the same time. He was very informative and confident in this case. I was a bit nervo...us. After speaking with Mr. McMinn I felt alot better. On top of that, the case went smoother than expected. Mr. McMinn also had alternate solutions for the case. I highly recommend Mr. McMinn to clients in need of his services. He superseeded my expectations and was very detailed of the outcome.

I can’t recommend Mr. McMinn highly enough. He is an effective and efficient criminal defense attorney who is as friendly with his clients as he is aggressive in court. He will go above and beyond on your behalf. He knows the law inside out and thinks outside the box, finding angles that others will ...not, while also being accessible, making you feel at ease, and explaining everything in clear, down-to-earth terms. Mr. McMinn will fight for, and achieve, the best possible outcome, which, in our case, was getting our minor son’s charge dismissed without conditions. Should we ever need an attorney again, be it for a serious or a minor matter, we know he is the person to call. Many lawyers are competent, but few are as engaged, passionate and creative: he will present a unique, relentless and fierce defense for any case, and he has the skills to win it. And he answers his own phone, anytime, right away! Thank you James.
