Fantastic lawyer

Right from the start James struck me as the competent attorney I was in search of. From our very first consultation, before even hiring James he was already prepared and familiarized himself with my case information. I walked into his office with anxiety about my case and walked out with peace of mi...nd that he was the right attorney for me. He and his secretary Alison were nothing but pleasant to work with throughout the entire process of my case. In October 2024 I was charged with felony drug possession after being pulled over in a traffic stop. I wanted and needed a lawyer that was willing to fight for me. James did exactly that! My charges were eventually dropped dismissed thanks to James. I couldn’t be more satisfied with the outcome of my case. Having to choose again, I would hire him without hesitation. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a competent and professional attorney who gets results.

Not guilty on An F1 agg trafficking also F2 Agg Poss

On January 11th of 2019 my house raided in NEWARK OH. I hired a local lawyer and he basically tried to plea me out. I was told about Mr. Owen through a friend . I set a meeting and they decided to take on my case. From the beginning we had road blocks that my first lawyer laid , but Mr. Owen and his... team navigated the obstacles and prepared a plan for trial. I was facing an F1 Agg TrafficKing (3-11 mandatory time)and the jury was given the choice of a lesser charge which carried 2-8 mandatory time which was an F2 Agg poss. We did not get a fair shake throughout the whole ordeal. Nov 12th Trial was set and and it began. During the whole trial Mr. Owen spoke the importance of beyond a reasonable doubt , and even tho we wasn’t allowed to mention things , he found a way to address it , That day he did what NO other Lawyer could of done in this town and that’s Get ALL 12 jury members to return a NOT GUILTY VERDICT. I owe the Mr. Owen and his team a life time of thank you’d . I HIGHLY SUGGEST THAT YOU HIRE THIS TEAM OF MIRACLE WORKING ATTORNEYS FOR ANY AND ALL LEGAL MATTERS .

The Real Deal

I hired and worked with Jim over eight months on two factually related complex and detailed criminal cases involving felony charges of first, fourth, fifth degree and two misdemeanor one charges. The stakes were high and scary. Jim doesn't back down. He learns his case details and prepares to take it... on in front of a jury. The outcome was favorable. While some attorneys claim to be "trial" lawyers, he's the real deal.
