"I endorse this lawyer. He is a former prosecuting attorney with years of trial experience. He is NOT AFRAID to take a case to trial. He is an experienced trial lawyer who will fight for his clients to achieve the best outcome possible. He is a member of the National College for DUI Defense (NCDD) which is an elite organization for the best of the best. I recently attended a NCDD conference where I was able to discuss the intricate details of DWI/DUI cases with Jim. There is no doubt that he has extensive knowledge in this area of the law, and for ANY criminal offense for that matter. I highly recommend Mr. Ransom as your go to guy for any criminal case in the State of Alabama."
