Awesome Representation

James Barnes is an amazing and knowledgeable attorney and worth every penny if not more for what he did for my case. My defendant and I were sitting with charges that totaled 12 all together and he was able to get our case fully dismissed based on the information he put into the motion. I am also sat...isfied with the time it took to be able to resolve the case at only 14 months which is really fast at the charges that were alleged at us. If you are needing an attorney who will have your back from day one and work hard to get you the outcome you are hoping for then you will not be disappointed with James Barnes as your attorney. I will use James again in the future for an upcoming case I am going to open because I kno James won't settle until we walk out of court with the desired outcome and that is what I want in an attorney. James charges very fairly to appoint you in court, and it you do have to go to trial for your case his price to go to trial is also fair. You won't REGRET J. Barnes

Honest and upfront!

Mr. Barnes does not fit the stereotype given to most attorneys! He is honest and truly cares about his potential clients! When I visited him for a consultation, he took the time to answer ALL of my questions and explained the likely outcome compared with similar cases. At the end of my consultation, ...he stated that “I was a smart man” and he did not want to take my money for something I could do myself. He then proceeded to inform me exactly the steps he would take if I had retained him. It is not ALL about $$$ with him, he is a true professional and has a passion for helping those in need!

Great Lawyer

Jim met with me urgently at night for our first consultation and went to work immediately that same night which is very rare. He's super personable, very organized and clearly cares and will do what it takes to get the job done.

Professional and Savvy

Mr. Barnes and his awesome assistants Elizabeth & Shelly were able to get the best outcome possible. Highly recommend their services to anyone needing help. James helped to resolve a very serious situation. One of my needs was to be always available to answer questions and that was fulfilled over a...nd beyond. James is trustworthy and will give you all the facts and help you through the nightmare of your situation. He is well respected in the courtroom which is why he gets great results. Facing serious prison time he was able to win my case. Respectable!
