Best I have ever delt with

my experience with Mr. Barnes had to do with being wrongfully accused of sexual battery. We went thru a trial jury and proved my innocence. I say "we" because that was how it felt. I totally had a partner in my time of crisis. Not only was Mr Barnes fee more than reasonable, my phone calls were alway...s returned promptly and his assistant Margaret was wonderful to work with. if you find yourself in a situation like mine, do yourself a favor and seek out legal representation that is the best around. you will not be disappointed

EXCELLENT DUI ATTORNEY

Jim Barnes represented me on a DUI. After my initial consultation with Mr. Barnes, I felt relieved to know he was handling my case and that I was in good hands. He is very personable and gets along with all the right people in the system. Mr. Barnes got my charges reduced to reckless driving. Thank y...ou so much.

Lawyer who believed in his clients.

Mr. Barnes represented me in a personal injury trial where I was being sued as a third party defendant. Mr. Barnes not only has a great personality and makes you feel comfortable to have him representing you, but he also displays a positive outcome attitude and is very confident and sure of himself ...and his abilities. I was very grateful to him with the outcome of the trial and I have, as well as other family members, have used him a couple of other times. I recommend him highly...

BEST LAWYER EVER!!!!!

I normally do not leave ratings. But James barnes is hands down worth my time to leave a review. I have used James barnes a my criminal attorney since 2009. I had a very confusing case when I first hired him. I had a vop and a bunch of new law felony charges! I felt like I was going to be in jail for... a long time. I hired mr. Barnes after sitting in jail 2 weeks due to a felony vop. 2 days after I hired him he got me out of jail! I have recently had to hire him again on another vop and new law charges. I would never think of hiring anyone else. I trust James barnes he has always been attentive to my needs. And I know I get on his nerves texting him everyday worried about my case! And not once have I ever not been able to get a quik response directly from James barnes himself! He has always been honest,concerned,and helpful. I know when hiring him that he will do everything in his power to help me. Every case is different and he is only human he will Definitely do all he can to help. Every case unfortunately does not end perfect or without consequences. But mr. Barnes will definitely come out with a lesser consequence at the end of your case! Thank you James barnes I love you. You have become a part of my family! I will always recommend you to any one in need of a criminal offense attorney! You deserve 1,000 stars!

James Barnes gets the job done

I hired Jim Barnes to represent me, and a family member, and know I received as good of representation as was available. One of the cases was a criminal case and the other a civil matter. I was confident in Jim's representation. He understands the process, knows what information to share and request... so neither of us wasted any time on non-issues. Comparing the results from others in the courtroom and our family member was proof enough of the good quality representation. Furthermore, the civil matter resulting in our winning a good result over the opposition. Our thanks to Mr. Barnes and his staff.
