Best Lawyer

James Haupt was an absolute lifeline during one of the most challenging periods of my life. I was facing a serious situation, and the stress was overwhelming. From the very beginning, what truly set James apart was not only his impressive depth of legal knowledge but also a genuine compassion for my ...situation. He was always there when I needed him, providing clear advice and emotional support whenever things got tough. James’s personal dedication and empathy ensured that I never felt alone in navigating my legal challenges. Thanks to his dedication and genuine care, I went from a place of uncertainty to being free and relieved. I’m deeply grateful for his help and would recommend James to anyone who needs a lawyer who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely invested in their clients.

Good work

Jim defended me in a sexual assault case that we won unanimously no debate. I was falsely accused. He is a good lawyer, he is patient with you, lets you give your opinion, has resourceful connections to assist you, a calm level headed person and fights for his clients. He keeps a tight defense as wel...l, anything that can be used against you possibly he makes sure he doesn’t use it. If the state is trying to beat him they will really have to EARN it, he isn’t gonna give them ANYTHING. The best thing is he tells you the absolute truth. He doesn’t just tell you “you’re gonna win the case” just to get your money just like most lawyers do. He lets you know what you’re facing and tells you he is gonna put in effort. He is careful with his words and doesn’t try to make promises he can’t keep. Jim gave me a free consultation and even gave me some immediate advice before I even hired him that helped me beat my case in my opinion. If I wouldn’t have listened to his advice I would’ve probably lost my case because no matter if you’re innocent or not the police don’t care, they just want an conviction. He catches details that many may gloss over to help you. I had many people testify against me and he made all of them look like fools. Police and detectives included. He also is liked by alot of people in the courthouse which MATTERS ALOT. To everyone Anybody dissatisfied with his communication, his communication method is more old school, its best to text him asking what time is best to meet or when you can call than to text him about small things. He’ll remember whatever you text when you talk though.

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!!!

Save your money you’re literally throwing it away

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 !

Don't even bother

James Haupt is the epitome of unprofessionalism. We hired him to represent my brother in a DUI case and he lied constantly. He never answered his phone and when he got back to us, he was always beyond rude. He even failed to show up to my brother's court dates when he needed to. Do not waste your tim...e and money.
