James William Haupt Jr.

I was in a fight in millerburg at a race track. No lawyers wanted to take the case because of the jurisdiction it was in. I contacted a lawyer and he referenced mr haupt who called Me. Under Ohio law 2905.1 section B I had EVERY right to stand my ground and protect myself and anyone in my party from ...danger that had occurred I even teyed to defuse the situation before throwing the punch that ended the situation. Me and Mr haupt went back and fourth for months. I gave him evidence I was protecting the people. Video proof. Voice recording from the person i protected stating I was defending her. It should have been an open close case. Mr haupt basically told me I was pleading guilty and slid my final payment back to me in the lobby of the court before trial (I have my cousin as a witness to this). When we went in he didn’t even attempt to fight for me he let me take a guilty plea because we agreed on the probation terms that I could use my medical marijuanna card due to the accident that occurred because of the courts (I was ran over coming back to my town from having to check in) before I was even coherent enough to go to court a month after my brain injury I had to plead guilty to the offense. After being on probation for one year they are changing my originally agreed to terms and taking my medication away from me. I tryed to reach out for help and Mr haupt has yet to respond even tho he told me that day to contact him in 9 months and he would get my probation dropped. I would represent myself in court before I would hire him to do anything other then file a motion.

First off i want to start by saying I think Jim is the best defense Attorney in stark County hands down he's like a pit bull in the courtroom he leaves know Stones Unturned he's very thorough i was charged with a F3 burglary and a theft which is a misdemeanor this has took 8 months out of my life not... to mention all the money that it has cost me and I haven't slept in 8 months so today I was found not guilty of all charges so to all that reads this review if you retain Jim as your attorney you can't go wrong it's the best decision that you could have ever made

My significant other was facing up to 5 charges, James was able to drop it down to one charge. James was always well presented, well structured. He was passionate, knowledgeable, on time, and very helpful. James had managed to really help my fiance, I would highly recommend James to anyone looking fo...r a great attorney. James kept his communication with us the entire time and we were able to rest assure that he would get the job done which he did. GREAT GREAT GREAT ATTORNEY!!!

James talked a good story but he didn't fight for us. He was late to court dates or postponed. He advised to plead guilty telling us house arrest and we ended up with 2.5 years mandatory prison and revoked license for life. It was an accident that took a life but no drugs or alcohol and it was not r...eckless driving. But our attorney didn't try to prove any of that. Dont use this guy. Keep looking
