James L. Galen Jr.

My boyfriend was wrongfully accused of a Car Jacking and I was referred to James. I was too way to desperate to not give him a chance. Initially, I thought he did not care about helping me or my boyfriend however I took it upon myself to gather all the evidence I could in order to convince him that he will not be wasting his time. When I met with James the first time, he told me for the type of case my boyfriend had he normally charged $20,000+ dollars. I didn't even have the $650 for my rent when my boyfriend got arrested. However, he worked with me and all of my assumptions were wrong. James does care, he'll do his part as long as you stick to yours. People fail to realize this is his career, if you do not pay him, you're wasting his time. He charged me a total of $2,500 and to this day I feel like he undercharged me, but he is such a down to earth lawyer he charged that $2,500 and did everything I wanted him to do for my boyfriend. My boyfriend initially had a 100,000 bond with no 10% and had been in jail for all of 6 days before James got him a 50,000 PERSONAL bond with a tether, just to bring him home to me. We worked very close with James, did whatever he advised and he listened to us as well. Then on the final court date, the case did not get bonded over to trial but dismissed in the Preliminary Exam. It's not the Defense's attorney's job to keep anyone out of jail or prison, it is the Prosecutor's job to put that person in there. James provided 12 pieces of evidence plus during cross examination of the victim and leading detective, and proved that my boyfriend was not the correct offender. I don't care how many lawyers are favored by the majority, I don't think anyone could have left me more satisfied and relaxed during this case than James L. Galen Jr. I'm forever grateful and I wish I was rich so he could have gotten that $25,000 from me, because he deserves it.

Mr Galen represented me on a matter of a OWI charge which occurred in July 2015. Apparently an unidentifiable woman called 911 on me. The police pulled me over leaving a Kroger Parking lot PBT was given ,I was arrested . I hired Mr Galen.He argued there was no probable cause for the stop.anyone who has been in a alcohol related driving incident knows how this situation can potentially ruin you both mentally and financially.long story short he had proven the arresting officer was in the wrong for pulling me over. Prosecution agreed. After 4 months of review and research work done by Mr Galen, I am super happy to say that on this Day December 1st 2015 my case was dismissed. I am free and clear of everything. I cannot thank Mr James L Galen enough for his time and expertise. I would strongly recommend him to anyone who is in need of a defense attorney.

Represented my son in a Felony matter 3 months ago. Couldn't ask for a more knowledegable attorney, kept my family informed as to what was happening. Very down to earth, a people's lawyer. Very friendly staff at his office who were willing to go the extra mile for my son, Mr, Galen really was excellent during the trial and showed us that there is justice in our legal system.
