James Anthony May

I would like to thank Mr. May for his care and compassion in my time of need. Mr. May is very knowledgeable in the field of law. He scared me straight and never gave up on a hopeless matter. He stayed in contact with me and made sure I followed all court orders and helped me complete all requiremen...ts of drug court. I recommend Mr. May if you have a need for an attorney.

Last year, a family member of mine had the great misfortune of dealing with a difficult officer in hillsborough county. Her legal scripts landed a total of 8 charges; 2 felonies, 6 misdemeanors. She was freaking out & I was trying to find someone who could properly attack this case & simply get the ...best results. Money was tight so if that someone was reasonable, then bonus. After calling around, asking a few friends, I made contact with a lawyer in Orlando - best of the best. I din't even get half the arrest details out when he says 'I know a lawyer near by you that will be perfect.' I asked if he was experienced, he handles these things; he simply said 'he's good, probably the best I know for this situation.' I had no idea what I was getting; looked around the web but there was little info. I decided to call & feel him out; I had a list I had narrowed down to about 3-4 locally that were all very good. In less than 2 minutes on the phoner & especially in person, you know this is the guy you want - energy, passion, knowledge of the system & the law, ambitious/fearless,, understanding, & a warm & kind spirit. I remained calm until my wife met him; she had to be comfortable with him, she had to choose him. Not easy because she was overwhelmed & stressed like never before. The first office visit was like everyone that followed - Mr. May makes you feel comfortable, he takes the weight, the burden, he makes you laugh & you know that everything is going to ok because somehow you stumbled upon the best guy for the job. Without getting bogged down with details, this situation didn'[t go away over night. I was very involved with the case, the defense, & the progress. Mr May constructed multiple layer; a strong defense, a contingency, a contingency for various contingencies, & a Hail Marry just in case. He was literally thinking of all outs;; including the unlikely possibility of a 'Super-Prosecutor' walking in court with absolute evidence against my wife. All said & done, at a more than reasonable rate, Mr may refused the prosecutor's offer of drug court, he knew he could get better. I was nervous, my wife uneasy - he compelled them to drop 5 of 6 of the misdemeanors, both felonies, & agree to plea no contest to a misdemeanor drug paraphernalia, with a withhold adjudication & do a drug evaluation with 6 months probation. Attorney May wasn't done there - he leaned on them a little more and they agreed that she would be ejected from probation immediately if the drug eval found there were no drug issues. So, from 8 charges including 2 felonies, and evidence - Mr May got7 of 8 dropped & my wife proved to not have a drug problem & she was ejected from probation as soon as possible. He navigated the court system seeking the best scenario to benefit his client, he worked multiple prosecutors, refusing offers most would take, all in pursuit of is initial promise - he said that he will fight for every inch, he will constantly seek the best possible result my wife could be afforded, & he will defend my wife & fight for her every minute of this battle. He lived up to & surpassed all my expectations, all of what he promised, & most importantly, my wife was represented in the best way possible. In summary: James May is great father & family man, a thoughtful, caring friend through a horrific process, & he's the muscle you want in your corner when you need some legal muscle. I don't write these comments for anybody, anything, or any product. I write them so that if you are struggling, nervous, & overwhelmed by some legal issue - Attorney May is a cut above the rest. Get the best, call Mr May to represent you, your family or your dearest friends. You will not be disappointed & I can almost guarantee that when it's over, you'll be writing one of these reviews because you'll want to add to the growing list of evaluations-like me, you'll want to make sure that people fully understand & believe the descriptions of Attorney James M

Attorney James Anthony May is one of the best attorneys in Florida hands down! In my particular case I was charged with Marijuana possession and drug paraphernalia in Tampa FL. At first I actually called my old attorney in Orlando FL. where I used to live and he told me I live out of his territory... now but that he knew someone who could help me out here in Tampa and who is good. Honestly I was upset that I had to use a different attorney but I called Mr. May anyway and he said he could definitely help me out so we set up an appointment. At the appointment Mr. May explained to me all of my options and assured me that I need to not worry and that he will take care of everything. After that I pretty much sat around and did nothing as he worked on the case and did whatever it is that he does. We talked here and there but it was him just mainly telling me to rest assured and that he had everything under control. Now I really cant get into all the details of my case but I will try to put into perspective the best I can.. Basically all I can say is I have multiple priors including the same charge which I was charged with which was Marijuana possession and paraphernalia and all I walked away with was minimal court fees!! Thats it!!! Thank You James LEGALIZE IT!!!

From the moment of my arrest (cultivating Marijuana), James was an anchor in the storm. With my career, public image, and passion to make a difference in our community, on the line, I was at ease knowing James May was my attorney. I knew my charge was serious and needed, not only the best, but also... someone who truly cared. It was obvious that Mr. May truly cared about my well being and displayed a sincere interest in looking out for me, as if it was his own matter at hand. He did a remarkable job of reassuring me that he was there for me, always. I felt supported! In truth, I never understood what a counselor of the law is until I met James. I could tell from our first meaning, this is more than a job to him, it's a passion and it showed in every interaction we had. I will not hesitate refferring James to anyone I know who may need a counselor of the law. If I had to do it all over again, I would pick James as my attorney no matter what options I had. He cares and it shows!
