Exceptional. A true advocate.

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.

Outstanding attorney!

I contacted Mr. McMinn on a Saturday, to see about getting my license back for a traffic ticket I had failed to take care of almost a year ago. Not only did he immediately get all of my info and take care of the old ticket, but also the newest ticket I have as well! All for a very reasonable price. I... was able to go to the DMV that upcoming Friday and got my license back for only $10!! He is amazing. What magic!!! I highly recommend him to anyone needing help getting their license back. He absolutely knows what he is doing!

The right man for the Job!

I was charged for a car wreck in which multiple charges were applied with no evidence except for myself actually being at the scene. James was very professional and precise. He always called me back and gave me positive feedback and or atleast had an optimistic outlook on things. Even when things are...n't looking so good for you it's always good to have a positve person in your corner and giving you excellent advice. I was confident all the way through my trial because James was very knowlegeable of the laws and the different judges. He applied for a speedy and fair trial after about our 3rd appearance. In the end this small but strategically placed motion was what in the end resulted in my case being dissmissed and not having to pay thousands of my hard earned money to the city of Winston-Salems court sytems. If you need and honest affirmative to the point lawyer, in your corner this is the man you need to have counsel you! I could never thank James enough for his hard work and perserverance to shine light on the truth and be a strong professional in the midst of a complicated court system.

Great, Compassionate Lawyer

Mr. McMinn is the lawyer to call! He convinced the judge to dismiss my DUI case after it was postponed 4 times by the court over a year and a half time. He was always prompt in returning my phone calls and would take as much time needed to talk with me. He is very knowledgeable about DUIs and will do... a thorough job defending his clients.

More than Competent and Capable

I highly recommend James McMinn and here’s why: • At our initial consult he listened intently and noted any single detail that gave us an advantage. He had our entire defense mapped out from start to finish by the time we were done. He was able to extract and showcase several points that I never w...ould have considered consequential. • He had very good rapport with the judges and the DAs—no one was out to get him and there was no unnecessary drama to heap on top of my already stressed situation. • Despite having no administrative staff he was attentive to details and made sure everything got the right place by the deadline. • In the beginning I had a million questions and he was nice enough to answer my questions almost immediately…nights, weekends, on holidays…it didn't matter. He was happy to answer my questions as if it were no bother. • I never felt judged. This was important to me.
