John Martino, Family Attorney on Sep 21, 2018
Relationship: Worked for lawyer

James is an amazing lawyer. As a supervisor to me at the State Attorney's office he was always helpful. He has exceptional knowledge of criminal law and a great wealth of experience.

Lawrence Avallone, DUI and DWI Attorney on Sep 21, 2018
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

James is an excellent attorney who I have known both as a prosecutor and a defense attorney. His vast knowledge of criminal law will be a great asset to his clients. I am happy to endorse James.

David Jancha, Criminal defense Attorney on Sep 21, 2018
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer. James is not only smart lawyer but an honest and ethical person. We have been opposing counsel on a number of very serious criminal matters over the years. His recent move from the state attorney’s office to the criminal defense bar is a loss for the state and the gain for those accused of crimes. On top of all of his legal experience, he is just a good person
