James William Haupt Jr.

Jim Houpt was a very professional attorney during my court case. I was involved in a domestic violence case that he could have had dropped but I chose a different route for personal reasons. Then after the case he went the extra mile to help with things that were on the back burner. He has helped out... multiple friends of mine in cases far worse than mine with also positive outcomes. He may not answer your phone calls but he will return text messages. You have to remember you're probably not his only client a text message gets things done phone calls intrude on getting things done. He even took time on Christmas Eve to resolve a different matter that was not part of the case. Thank God for lawyers like Jim Houpt.

First and foremost, disregard any negative reviews you may have seen or read about Attorney Haupt... they could not be more beyond the scope of reality. None of them are even close to relevant according to my experience. I have had to use other lawyers in my life for other circumstances and they we...re great. But, Jim was the best. He went above and beyond when I needed him the most. He would ALWAYS call me back and / or reply to my texts. He even has texted me way after normal working hours to update me on my case. He also worked on my case all hours of the day and night. He also took my call and met me on a Sunday for a consult. He is aggressive and a fantastic negotiator. That only happens if you know the facts and proof of the case, in which he did. Not only did his hard work get me the lowest penalty possible but he was extremely down to earth and personable the whole time. God forbid I never need a criminal defense lawyer again, but if I did, he would be the first person I would call. Even after my case was resolved, he still answers my calls if I need advice. Not only is he a great attorney but he is a great person. I am genuinely grateful I was even able to meet him. I say good luck in finding a lawyer with all of those qualities. If you are in need for an impeccable attorney, he is the perfect candidate. Also remember, we all make mistakes and that does not define who we are as human beings. Stay strong, confident, positive, and call Jim Haupt today!

Attorney Haupt talks a big case when you first meet him... don’t buy it! All the rules he stated to me about an OVI that would cause my case to be thrown out or at the very least reduced he didn’t even file with the court. I had to constantly ask for driving privileges, ask about things posted on my ...case online he seemed to know nothing about. He flat out lied that he filed for suppressing evidence and filed for a witness narrative when he didn’t. He made a lot of promises of phone calls, meetings, filings and then I go to court and get state mandatory minimum anyway. If it’s your first offense you’d represent yourself better. Maybe in a few years when he gets some more experience and builds better relationships at the courthouse he’ll serve the community better. I really feel he dropped the ball and sometimes didn’t even remember about my case. Very dissatisfied. He offered me a refund but then ran out of the courthouse before I could actually collect it from him lmao. Surprise surprise !

I’m not writing this review because I got a great outcome, I am writing this because I’ve been in trouble before and Mr Haupt from the beginning told me what might happen from good to bad. He retuned every call, and believe me I called a lot more than I should of, he made it convenient for me when I... wasn’t able to drive, and was always truthful when I asked questions. He did everything possible to fight for the best possible outcome and he got it! So even if I would not have gotten what I wanted i would still rate him the best attorney professionally and as a person. There is no bad thing I can say and would hire him again ,god forbid , if I ever get in trouble and would recommend him to anyone who is in trouble.

IS THE WORST ATTORNEY I EVER HAD..ITS NOT HIS LIFE HE MESSES WITH, ITS YOURS....I WOULD OR WILL NOT RECOMMEND THIS MAN FOR ANYBODY..I BELIEVE I GOT A SHITTY DEAL..SURE DONT MIND TAKING YOUR MONEY...BUT WORKING FOR YOU IS LIKE PULLING TEETH....MAKES PROMISES HE NEVER KEEPS OR DOES....ALL I CAN SAY IS ...LOOK FOR SOMEONE ELSE...PUBLIC DEFENDER WOULD HAVE BEEN ATLEAST THE SAME OR BETTER.....
