Best lawyer I have ever had

He got all my charges dropped in Superior Court. I have dealt with multiple lawyers but he was the first that has truly fought for me and knew who I was in the courtroom and always stayed in contact with me.

No fail, on point, best lawyer I've experienced.

James came highly suggested to me by a close friend after a DWI charge. I was scared to death about the outcome. James reviewed my case and broke it down to me in a very straight forward, human manor. His expertise and knowledge of the law was reflected every time we went to court. Everything he said... would happen, happened. He actually texted me the night before every time we had to go to court. On top if that he was very open to answer any questions and make me feel at ease at anytime, even late at night. He always stayed in contact with me and reached out to make sure I was in complete understanding of what was going on. He even offered to meet with me on a Saturday because of my work schedule. I went to him the day after I realized I had a failure to appear, he went to court the next day and got it dismissed. After multiple continuances, my case went to trial. There were no witnesses for the procesution present, and although I was very nervous James said he was "going for it". All of my charges were dismissed and I am so thankful and feel blessed to have had James on my side! He is really an advocate for the people & I would reccommend him to anyone that has dwi/license issues.

I received a NOT GUILTY June 2016

In July 2015 I was charged with a felony and 2 misdemeanors Child Abuse in a case involving a five year student who was never asigned to my classroom and I never had ANY physical contact with this 5 year old. I was looking for a lawyer who could prove my innocence. I had heard of McMinn and how great... he was as a DWI and traffic court lawyer. Something deep inside of me said he was the one being he is a defense attorney. This case went on for almost a year with continuance after continuance. McMinn continued to work hard and push for a speedy trial each passing month. Meeting all my needs as a client, answering all questions I had no matter what time of day it was. He showed up to every court date. I felt confident and secure knowing he had myself and my case in his best interests. My trial finally came around June 13th 2016 lasted three consecutive days and James McMinn defended me in every way even asking me if there was anything that I wanted him to ask he made a great argument to all my charges to where the judge on June 15 morning dismissed the felony and shortly after lunch the jury had a verdict of NOT GUILTY on the 2 misdemeanors. I am forever greatful for McMinn and Im a true believer in my Christian faith and I believe that attorney McMinn was placed in my life for many reason. I give God the glory and I ask God to bless him and his career in helping continuing to help the innocent and those in need to have someone great stand by them in time for justice. He knows his job and the laws of north Carolina. He will always be my first choice when needed. God bless you McMinn. You were born to be great. And you will be honored for that. Thank you, Your quiet timid client Juneaice D. P.S his consultation was FREE 60 min. And payment arrangements are flexible considering I was terminated from Job by the state of NC.

DUI dismissed. McMinn goes to battle for you, and gives it all he's got.

Several years ago, I was charged with a DUI by a corrupt officer looking to boost his numbers. After another "reputable"(and very overpriced) lawyer in town had given up trying on the case, I had decided to take it back over for myself. Eventually I wound up with McMinn being assigned to my case whil...e he was still a public defender. Almost immediately after looking at the case and the facts, he knew what to do. In practically no time, he convinced the A.D.A. to drop the unfounded DUI charge, and got me a plea deal that dealt with my case in a timely manner. As a direct result of his hard work at that time, and continually since then, I now have my license back after many years of being without it. He has helped many of my friends and family in the time since then, and I highly recommend keeping McMinn's cell phone number in your phone, and making him your first call the second you feel yourself approaching any type of legal hurdle whatsoever! If you have any kind of driving issue going on in court, or any other criminal matters, minor or major, make McMinn the next call you make, you won't be disappointed!

DWI Case

My son was charged with driving while intoxicated and Attorney McMinn represented him. The advice that he gave us from day one was very solid and helpful as the case unfolded. He told us what to expect and what not to expect and that shows a lot of experience dealing in with these matters. Attorne...y McMinn was available to us every time that we needed to speak to him or he called us back in a timely manner. My son had maintained his innocence throughout the process and in the end we were able to get a not guilty verdict with a jury trial. Thank you All Mighty God! And thank you Atty James McMinn. My son can now get his life back together again. Attorney McMinn showed the skill and passion representing my son that I would not rate second to any other attorney. We would definitely use him again.
