James saved my butt!

I must say I disagree with the negative review by Criminal Defense client below. Lawyers are there to fight for you, not get you out of the charges. That is up to the prosecutor and only the prosecutor. James did exactly what he said he would do in the beginning; he said he would fight for me. 1.... All attys have you go through their assistant. If not, they will charge you for every single phone call, email and etc. You want to go through the assistant. 2. If he doesn't update you on a regular basis, it means there is nothing to update. My case lasted a year. Was he supposed to update me every week for a year? No. 3. With James, No news is good news! 4. "Does not work quickly." ?? Of course he does not work quickly. He is trying to drag out your case in case you are found guilty. Would you rather go to jail now or a year from now. 5. The fact that James took his time on my case worked to my benefit. At first, the prosecutor wanted to hang me out to dry. After several months, she finally found the truth and let me off easy. Last, attorneys are like girlfriends. If you do not like the one you got, find a new one. There is no guarantee that you will like your attorney. You have to find the right one for you. James might be rough around the edges, but when it comes to fighting for you, that is what you want. For me, James is the only attorney I will use (hopefully I will not need him again) but I do keep his card in my wallet at all times.

Outstanding attorney !

I was pulled over on my motorcycle with no probable cause. I was arrested under charges. James Weart fought for my license and it was returned and The charges were dropped. James took my call in middle of the night and was there every step of the way. When you find yourself in a situation like this, ...you need a friend and an aggressive lawyer! I consider James Weart to be the best of both.

Someone you can count on

I was in jail and he got me out the next morning and kept me informed unless he was in court then his staff had all the updates for my case. he got the case thrown out for something the policemen didn't do the right way on his paper work. It was well worth the money not to deal with other out come fo...r sure I keep his card with me all the time....
