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!

Couldn’t Ask For More
From the very first consultation I was confident I was in good hands. Jim knows the law and is professional yet truly cares for his client. Through the process of facing multiple charges I was at ease. At the end I maintained my freedom, started a new beginning and gained a new lifelong friend. I ...

A completely unsatisfactory experience with Metz
I fired Mr. Metz after I realize that his representation of me was sloppy and ineffective. I I originally hired him for a third offense DWI that there was ample evidence that I was not even driving. Metz would not discuss case law with me and dismissed it with a condescending attitude of he knew best...

Replied last April 21, 2021Per William, "there was ample evidence that I was not even driving"? That's funny because that is NOT what William told me at our initial free consultation. "Sloppy and ineffective" are 2 things that I am not. I pride myself in ALWAYS being prepared and doing the best I can for each and every one of my clients on EVERY case. In fact for William, I was able to get his bond amended multiple times as he requested of me to allow him to travel out of state, etc...but amended for him to still be in compliance with alcohol testing provisions of his bond. William did NOT pay me in full up front, he made a partial payment which I earned during my representation of him (that lasted well over a month). Quite frankly, per our retainer fee agreement, I could have demanded him pay the balance owed to me per our contract/retainer fee agreement; however, because he did retain another attorney I did not request that he pay the balance owed to me (in fairness to him because I thought it was the right thing to do).

Knowledgeable and timely
Mr Metz has represented a handful of Livingston County cases of people that I know. In each case, James was swift, knowledgeable and thorough. As matters arise, I recommend Mr Metz and I will not hesitate to reach out to him for representation.
