James George Kontos

Jim and Alex were exceptional in handling the case I brought to them. After a year of consistent effort they were successful with all charges dropped. Through the duration of my case Jim and Alex kept me well informed of my options and potential outcomes. Once in court, their performance was phenome...nal in discrediting the false accusations laid against me and instilled confidence for the process of taking the stand to give my personal statement. Their thorough investigations and detailed follow up work was a solid foundation for private interviews and cross examinations. If the conduct of my case was not enough to display their professionalism, the respect that others have for them in the justice system speaks for itself.

Upon providing a retainer from my family it was expected that this attorney would provide competent zealous representation. Over the course of several months their efforts fell short of even satisfactory. Poor communication, if any at all. No zealous representation . No effectively as to potential... strategies, outcomes or detriments. Failure to adequately appraise my son( client) regarding on going issues/ discussions with prosecutors as the case progressed. Being an accused in any serious criminal matter certainly lends to significant stress worry and reliance on others expertise and professionalism. Based on what I believed to be an underwhelming defense strategy the end result was a tragedy for my family resulting in my son ( client) taking his own life. I have no confidence in these attorneys and absolutely do not recommend them.

James and Alex worked tirelessly on my case, clearly presented me with all the facts, provided me with all the options and then vigorously defended me in court. I credit them with the successful defense of my case and the eventual Nolle Prosequi of my charges. They are well respected by the court, an...d I could not recommend a better firm for your defense.

When it comes to hiring a Criminal Defense Attorney, there are virtually thousands to choose from. Like Forrest Gump's famous analogy,..."Attorneys are like a box of chocolates. You never know what your going to get." Sad, but true...not all lawyers are the same. Many have far reaching objectives an...d petty agendas that can be the driving vehicle for your case's outcome. Other attorneys lack the higher legal skills to navigate your case and your interest through the complicated legal system. When you retain and hire James Kontos for legal representation, you can leave all of that at his door step. I have known many attorneys in my life and have yet to find one that posses the skills, quality and personal integrity that Jim carry's in his brief case every day. He will always put his client's interest first and foremost. He never plays legal games and prosecutors call for help when he shows up with a new case. In my opinion Jim is one of the top ten defense attorneys in all of Central Florida. If you hire him, you will receive the finest legal representation money can buy...
