I needed representation for a plea withdrawal in criminal traffic court. This is not your normal hirer an attorney type situation. I Googled Mr. Fowler and wrote him a generic fill this out type of form not really expecting much. I was delighted to see an email the very next day. Wether it was a well... done auto response or not it got my attention. I called his office and his lovely assistant Lisa answered. From that first moment the whole process was first class. I was able to get an immediate consultation with Mr. Fowler the next day. I was greeted in a clean office environment by Lisa and shortly thereafter sat down with Mr. Fowler. He was able to pull some files beforehand and we dived into my situation. After a bit of some hesitation Mr. Fowler agreed to take on my case. It was a bit out of his usual field of practice but was honest with me the whole time. I am a pretty good judge of character and I never once felt uneasy about his demeanor or confidence. He was honest with me the entire hour we discussed what options I had and we both agreed I should have hired him sooner! I retained Mr. Fowler and a month later we walked out of court with the absolute best outcome possible. Not only is this attorney first class but his honesty, integrity, and families values, which he clearly holds high, are remarkable. The precense of his brother on my court date, who is interning for him over the summer, reassured me even more this guy isn't like 95% of attorneys I have come across before. I would highly recommend anyone with legal issues or troubles to sit down and discuss your situation with Mr. Fowler. He will do all that he can to help or will find the right person for your situation!!!

I am so impressed on how quickly and diligently he worked. Arrested on the 12th, notice to appear 13th after spending the night in jail. Released on ROR declining public defender. After countless letters,many phone-calls and research on other lawyers I chose him because his office staff was so court...eous, quick appointment time and feeling good about his other reviews. We met on the 16th where he was all business and explained the entire process and what I could expect. I immediately hired him on the spot with a deposit. He works with you financially. I was in shock when that afternoon he already filed Waiver of appearance,asking prosecution for discovery and my plea not guilty. He emailed my forms for my records and it was even showing up on the Sarasota Clerk office website. The relief I felt is indescribable...I KNEW I made the right decision. He told me step by step what needs to be done and I followed all instruction immediately. On the 29th we got notice it was dropped and abandoned by the State Attorney office. It never made it to my arraignment scheduled for the 30th!! This life altering event was over in 17 days. I feel it was his aggressive swift action in phone-calls and paper work that made this happen. I highly recommend him for a Criminal Defense attorney!!

If you need an attorney fast, and you are in a difficult situation, the last thing you need is to feel like you are going to have to sacrifice quality representation. James was referred to me for a difficult situation in late 2014, and from the first consultation, to the recent dismissal of my case, ...the attention to detail and professionalism was unparalled. Having to rely on someone when you don't know them, and you are worried about your case, can be scary. James knowledge of the law, his contacts with the legal community, and his experience and insight all served to give me peace of mind through this challenging time. I would refer him in the future, and while I hope I never have to use him in this sort of case, I will happily stay in touch with him as his counsel, advice and contacts will surely be needed again. I hope if you are looking for competant representaion you will give James a call, and that he can do as well for you as he did for me.

Mr. Fowler was referred to my family at a time of need. The best decision we made was hiring Mr. Fowler and his incredible staff. Mr. Fowler met with us and took time to explain the complete process of what might occur. Understanding the process and the steps we were moving into meant the world. Mr. ...Fowler was aggressive in finding out what was going on with our case and keeping us updated as to where our case stood. Mr. Fowler and his staff made our horrible experience easier as we progressed through the process. In the outcome, thanks to Mr. Fowler our results were excellent. I highly recommend Mr. Fowler, his skills and reputation are unsurpassed.
