The best defense attorney. Hands down.
James went above and beyond the call of duty for my case. Not only were my charges reduced, but the sentence was reduced from a possible 30 yrs to 15 days. He is truly a saint and the best at what he does. I cannot begin to express my extreme gratitude for him and what he did for my case.
