James Anthony May

James is an exceptional attorney who went above and beyond to ensure my case was handled with the utmost professionalism and care. From the very beginning, he impressed me with his prompt responses to emails and clear communication, always keeping me informed and reassured throughout the process. His... deep knowledge of the Pinellas County court system and extensive legal experience were evident every step of the way, and his strategic approach led to the best possible outcome for my case. James’s affordability was a pleasant surprise, especially considering the high level of service he provided. I couldn’t have asked for a better advocate during such a stressful time. I am incredibly thankful for all that James did to make a complicated situation feel manageable and stress-free. His dedication, expertise, and understanding of the intricate court procedures saved me an immense amount of time and headaches. Every dollar spent on his services was worth it, as he not only achieved outstanding results but also provided peace of mind throughout the process. I highly recommend James to anyone in need of a private attorney—he is truly the best in the business, and I am beyond appreciative for everything he accomplished on my behalf.

I Was fortunate to be referred to Attorney James May ( as he does not advertise) & I am so grateful! Mr. May is highly knowledgeable, trustworthy , respected ( in the legal community ) & sincere when he takes on a case. He kept myself and family up to date on any and all correspondences with the... court & what to expect every step of the way . We cannot recommend him enough! He is worth EVERY penny !

I’ve had the pleasure of working with James on my DUI case. I cannot emphasize enough how glad I am to have found him. From beginning to end James treated me like a friend and not just a client. I was shopping around for lawyers to help me with my case and it was quite upsetting how I was treated. I ...saw 2 lawyers before going to James and they just cared about whether I could pay them for their services which I understand. However, when I first saw James at his office it was a completely different vibe. I was visibly upset during my first visit but after specking to him for just a few minutes he promised me that he “would not allow anything bad to happen to me.” A promise he kept! He made clear that if I followed his instructions and completed them as fast as possible I would be alright at the end. He was right! James worked tirelessly to the very end to help me and he does it for everyone that walks into his office. He kept me up to speed and answered every question I had along the way. When you are going through anything requiring his services of course you want to know your lawyer is knowledgeable of the law but in my humble opinion I personally also want someone who will treat you like a human being an not just another client. I hope this review helps clear any doubt that one might have on whether or not to have James on your side. He will not rest until he gets the best result possible for you! In James May I trust!

James is a great attorney. 5 felony charges reduced to 1 misdemeanor with no jail or probation. He is a man of his word. He said if he would get me off and if he could do it quickly he would even knock off some money owed and he did just that. Great guy too. He responds quickly to all questions and ...genuinely cares about his clients. Thank You James!

I was picked up and charged with driving under the influence. I questioned friends and searched on the internet looking for an attorney to represent me. I was advised to be careful as there were a number of very high priced attorneys who did very little but take your money. I interviewed a number of ...lawyers, who were recommended as very competent and experienced. I chose James May. After listening to my recap of events, he put me at ease with his knowledge of the process and his detailed explanation of exactly how he would handle my case. His fees were very reasonable and in line with the other lawyers with whom I spoke. At every step of the way when I had questions, James was there with options and sage guidance. What I was delighted to discover was that James appeared to have an extremely good relationship with the people who were prosecuting me and a keen knowledge of which judges to avoid, if possible. The bottom line is that James got the DUI charges dropped down to careless driving (not even reckless), adjudication was withheld and no points! I am so grateful for James’ hard work and dedication to my case. He is a down to earth, very caring individual and an experienced, knowledgeable attorney who knows how to work the system. I hold him in highest regard and would unconditionally recommend him should the need arise.
