Posted by Anne | May 03, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

The best defense lawyer in Florida.

James Amarosa WILL GET YOU OUT OF TROUBLE. Better call Saul? Not if you're in Tampa. Better call Jim. This is THE go to guy for southern Florida. I am an actress currently living between la and Austin now, and I still call mr Amarosa for ANY and all legal advice, though I am states away. He worked w...ith the da when he was younger...can't remember how...or in what context...but it enabled him to KNOW exactly how you'll be tried, quite simply...because he used to be the guy trying you. He has "been behind enemy lines" and he knows their secrets now. But all joking aside, who better to defend you? He GAve up prosecuting to defend those who needed his help in clearing their names. So Not only is he intelligent, He also has this rly unique love of being some sort of sophisticated yet ferocious guard dog for justice. So much so that he is in love with his work. He's addicted to it. He hussles and works tirelessly. It is this love of his work that also tends to make him fair monetarily. I Didn't have a lot of cash so he gave me a fair deal any way, because he rly wanted to see my case absolved. Don't get me wrong. He's not THE cheapest. And you'll pay. But he'll be patient about it, and he'll also EARN EVERY PENNY. He absolutely stunned me with how ridiculously fast he helped me fix my situation. I had genuinely landed myself In a heap of trouble...completely by accident and had no idea where to turn. I was a first time offender who unbeknownst to me... rly pissed off a police officer, which some how led to me getting hit with a completely trumped up felony charge. Jim Amarosa literally laughed at the ridiculousness of this, the moment he heard about it, and did not stop working on my case until it was resolved. He also, went to court ON MY BEHALF several times, so that I could continue to work, and only had to go to the court room when it was ABOSULTELY needed. but some how still rapped it up quickly. He's THE best lawyer I've ever had. HE WILL do the best he can for you. This guy will fight for you. Again, if you're in Florida, better call Jim. He's a rarity. I wish there was one of him in every state.
