Hired lawyer

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!!!

Keep looking for a better attorney -this one isn't good

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

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.

Lawyer that gives lawyers a bad name

If your searching for an attorney. Hit back a few times and start your search over. Jim Haupt is the worst attorney I have ever dealt with. Promises you things that should be easy to get yet fails to. Shows up late and unprepared to court. Makes you look bad due to the fact he's so unprofessional. I ...thought because of his ability would justify the price he charged, and back up the promises he made. He'll ruin your case to the point when you look for another attorney they won't touch it for any amount of money because they don't want the loss to tarnish his reputation. Take my word for it find someone else. Or regret not doing it when it's to late like I did!

Review

You had to call him to ask about a court date the day before...he would not contact you at all or keep you informed. He had no clue and had to contact us back to verify thinking it was on another day. Not to mention the fact he lied and would not even look into your case or know anything about it u...ntil the day you are suppose to be in court, right before you would walk in, and that's if he wasn't late. He would tell you a positive outcome of what things might be and all be the opposite.
