Jim Metz Criminal attorney

Jim was the attorney that helped my son when he got himself into a bit of trouble. He did a great job, made me feel as a mother I had nothing to worry about. He represented my son in the most honorable way. Very professional, and right up front with Joe. I think if Joe would not had Jim as his attorn...ey I would have definitely not felt like my son was in good hands. To this day I can call him with a question and he has no problem helping me out. I believe he really enjoys what he does, if he didn’t he would not be so good and professional with his clients. I was then and still very impressed with his ability to make his clients feel at ease. I would recommend him to anyone who needed his services. A very great man/attorney.

Very nice and easy to speak too

James was referred to me by a close friend and I couldn't be happier that he did. I was very scared about my situation and was filled with guilt before I even spoke to James. After my first consultation with James it was like a weight lifted off my shoulders knowing I was putting my case in his hands.... He was polite and genuinely so easy to talk too. I was nervous I was going to talk to someone and they would make me feel even worse about my mistakes but he never once did that. He acknowledged I made a mistake and I will be able to move forward and put this behind me. He was comforting but also professional. He was able to make my case as short as I believe it could be for my situation and I couldn't be more grateful I found him. If anyone is hesitant about finding an attorney who truly cares about helping you the best they can I suggest James Metz as he was great in helping me.

Extremely Helpful

I can’t thank Jim enough for his help and guidance during a very difficult time. He was always there for me to help answer any questions and help navigate my concerns throughout the entire process. I would VERY HIGHLY recommend James W. Metz ll.

Great

Mr Metz was referred to me by a friend he was very knowledgeable and didn’t give me any false hope! What he expected to happen in the court room was the exact outcome! I’ve hired other attorneys in the past and they seem to string you along just to get every penny out of me but Metz did not! I highly... recommend him and although I hope to not need an attorney in the future I will always go to him with any legal issues from here on out

Good guy to know your going through a bad time

I'm a nurse that had gotten involved in a driving matter. Metz hands down was very thorough and straightforward. He is honest and gets you the best possible outcome of your situation. I personally felt handled as a client from day one. No better person to have on your side. Thank you!
