Car accident

James was recommended by one of my friend. I am from Europe and all of my family members live outside of US. The car accident was not my fault, so it was hard to accept, it could happen. To deal with everything in my life was difficult being a single Mom with a special needs son. When I decided to hire an attorney, I knew in my heart James will be the best for me. I was hopeless and scared when we started our journey together. From the first minute and even now, I felt like he is not just my attorney who works for getting paid, he was my friend and family in the same time. He made out of my case the best. I will be always thankful and grateful for him and also for his staff. Do not hesitate if you need an attorney, He would be your best choice as well!!!!

Great, Excellent, Superb

Most Capable, Great Service

Very thankful to have engaged Tampa attorney James Guarnieri. He was very detailed in evaluating my case, aspects of the police charge and explaining p e. outcomes. No hard sell, and the rate if he were to take the case laid out upfront. Mr. Guarnieri eventually got the charge dismissed altogether. I highly recommend his services. I'm age 50, and this was my best attorney experience ever!

The absolute best

Mr. Guarnieri, thank you. Thank you for everything. I caught a nonsense charge and the state was desperately trying to throw the book at me. I have no priors, yet I was treated like a criminal. I am a single father, and I don't make a whole lot at my place of employment. I was refereed to Mr Guarnieri by a friend of his family. I was terrified. This charge would jeopardize my well being for my child, and yet he assured me everything was going to be alright. And he was right. He fought for me and I beat the charge. I was lucky--so blessed to have this gentlemen represent me. When he called me with the good news, I literally broke down in tears. This man and his amazing receptionist saved my future with my daughter. I will forever be indebted to both of them. I would recommend Mr Guarnieri to everyone looking for legal representation. Phenomenal work. You will not be disappointed. I assure you

Trustworthy and brilliant.

After my insurance company basically told me to get lost, my family and I were devistated. Mr. Guarneiri helped keep us calm and comfortable through the tedious process, answered all of our questions, and secured us an amazing settlement. I can't recommend him highly enough... he is amazing.
