Dedicated Lawyer

James Barnes and his assistants Elizabeth & Shelley worked hard to resolve our case to the very end. James is honest and fantastic with keeping up to date on new case laws. James was always available to answer questions. He is honorable, intelligent, trustworthy and dedicated to winning! James won... our case and saved my son from going to prison for a very long time. Best lawyer to have working for you. With James & his team on your case you know they will do everything possible to win your case. His hard work prevented a trial and long possible prison time.

Knowledgeable, Professional, Excellent Attorney

Mr. Barnes did an excellent job of defending me in my criminal case. He worked very hard to prove my innocence and succeeded in averting a trial. Through his efforts, my felony charge was downgraded to a misdemeanor and prevented any adverse consequences to my career and personal life. I highly reco...mmend Mr. Barnes to anyone needing a competent and honest attorney who will work hard for their best interests.

More than just your lawyer

I found myself in some legal trouble back in October and immediately became frantic on what to do. After speaking with multiple lawyers I was blessed to have met Mr. Barnes. I could tell from the moment my family and I met with him that he was going to do everything he could to get us the best deal p...ossible. And he did just that! My case was pretty cut and dry, so the state did not want to work with us at all. But that didn’t stop James. James and Elizabeth worked tirelessly on the state, and there was never a single moment when they didn’t believe that we would get what we were after. James is more than just a lawyer who wants to take your money… He TRULY cares about the outcome of your case and how it will directly affect you and your loved ones. Meeting James changed my life for the better and my Family and I want to Thank You. If you have any doubts about hiring James then just read my review and know he will do the same for you. Good people make mistakes, but that isn’t what defines us. James will help you see that and fight for you. Elizabeth will fight for you. And you will be glad you hired this team. So from the bottom of our hearts we thank you James and Elizabeth. Professional in every aspect of the word and we won because of the hard work and dedication of you both.
