About James
Biography
I am a former police officer and prosecutor. I fight for my clients and ensure their rights are protected. When you have charges pending, or have been in an accident, you need an agressive lawyer who knows what to do and isn't afraid to take a case to trial. I have tried more than forty (40) cases as a prosecutor, and have tried cases as a defense attorney as well. My firm's mission is to give my clients premium legal services and treat every client like they are my most important client...because they are.

produces near miracles
Best result imaginable, Jim and his partner contacted me within hours of leaving a message, they were super affordable, have a great staff. Took care of every issue I had, and a couple I didn't know I had. Not planning to get in trouble again, but if I did would defiantly go back to them

Outstanding Attorney
Jim helped me navigate a very complex case very methodically and was always present to answer questions and in many occasions walked the extra mile to get the outcome I deserved. My case required working with multiple organizations and coordination which Jim did a splendid job at. I highly recommend...
