MCMINN ....THE WORD IS OUT!! Criminal Lawyer too!

I contacted Attorney James McMinn a few months ago when I was arrested and charged with public intoxication and resisting a police officer. From the start, I did not feel like I deserved these charges (which alot of people may think that of themselves as well) however, after consulting and hiring McM...inn, it did not take very long at all for him to see my view as well. After he ordered the police officer's body cam video, it was very obvious that within 20 seconds of the officer arriving on the scene of this particular incident, he had reached in at me trying to grab a phone from my ear and then threw me on a sidewalk. He threw me in cuffs as he had one knee in the back of my neck and the other knee in the small of my back, all of this as no one else was on the scene yet. The officer never witnessed any type of public intoxication and I sure as heck never had a second to "resist" anyone!! This officer had a very controlling personality and was to say the least quite abusive with me and I had pictures to show all the horrible bruises and busted nose, etc. that he left me with, which not to mention, was all given to McMinn for my file. Fast forward to my court date, after a couple of them were continued due to the cop not showing up to court, my main man McMinn was ready for trial with the video/pictures/and his magic! As soon as the DA found out this information and had a quick chit-chat with the above mentioned officer, the officer got up and walked out of the court room and the Judge entered. We stood in front of him as the DA announced that after his findings from Mr. McMinn, both of my charges would be dropped and dismissed. Just like that!! I was grateful, I was blessed, but I honestly was at the same time a little upset that that officer and the rest of the court didn't get to see the body cam video played in court! Well, maybe it will be on TV soon???? I haven't made up my mind just how far I may take this....afterall, McMinn said I have a 2 year statute! What a GREAT lawyer! It was a great day in court to see a Winston-Salem police officer..and the DA squirm when they found out my attorney was Attorney McMinn....ready for trial your Honor! :) Thank you James R. McMinn! You're the best!!

Bad an Boujee Attorney!!

My case was pending for almost a year I was worried that I wouldn't find a good attorney in the triad who could get me a good outcome on my case. I was told to go see McMinn and that he was the baddest attorney around. James went over my case and told me what I was looking at far as results he always... answered my questions when I need to know something and doesn't sugar coat anything when it comes to his clients. Went to court and he stood tall with no hesitant and he got the best outcome/results for me!!!! I would recommend anyone with a DWI, Criminal Case or any of that matter contact him he will fight for you to the max thanks again big dawg!!!

He is "THE" Lawyer that you want in your corner !!!

Attorney McMinn is one of the few Attorneys that will do everything possible to get the best outcome for your case. Beyond knowledgeable about how the systems really works. He is not someone that will plead you and then bleed you. He was recommended by a personal Lawyer friend that said he was the be...st, hands down. He was able to get my DWI totally dismissed. I cannot thank him enough. If you find yourself with those bracelets on your wrist.

18 month case. Finally resolved!

Atty McMinn is a man of few words but powerful actions! He strategized the best option for my case and had it dismissed! I was literally speechless! Job well done and I'm grateful!

McMinn is a wizard

I went to attorney McMinn after several professionals recommended him. He was different from the beginning. He is completely accessible and transparent. He's not like most attorneys that require you to call the office and you might hear back. I had his cell number from day one and that was it. He com...municates throughout the process, will answer any question, and is down to earth about it all. Let's just say that he is, without question, the best defense attorney in Winston and you don't have to get a second mortgage to pay him! And not to mention the magic he worked in getting me off my alleged offense! Go no further than McMinn.
