Posted by Ali | April 26, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Extremely helpful, professional and diligent.

I was wrongfully charged with a first degree felony and arrested, facing the possibility of life in prison. Upon making bail, I hit the ground runninng to find a way out of this nightmare. It led me to the office of James hope. Mr. Hope and his team were incredible. He kept me rather sane same in suc...h an insane circumstance. He was very active and very diligent in the case. Kept me posted and was very easy to reach for questions and updates. Thanks to him, the case never made it to court!! I want even formally charged before he put together an incredible information packet, leaving the prosecutor with very little choice but to drop everything. I'll quote his text when I got the news: "Ali, there was in fact “HOPE” for the defense. You are a free man. —JAMES" Intelligent, professional, friendly, even comical and a joy to talk with. Everything you need from a defense attorney and much more. I will recommend James and his team to anyone who has found themselves on the wrong side of the legal system.
