James Cosmano is the BEST DUI lawyer

I hold a CDL. I drive a truck for a living. I was arrested for DUI after the police found me sleeping in my vehicle. I blew a .16. I received a statutory summary suspension because I blew over .08. I hired James Cosmano because he is the best DUI lawyer. James won my summary suspension hearing and m...y license was valid again. James had my DUI charge dismissed after he argued that the police failed to follow the law during the DUI investigation. My record is clean and I am back driving my truck. James is a great lawyer who you can trust to fight for your rights!

Best of the Best!!

As promised, James Cosmano was beside me every step of my case. At each court appearance, James was well prepared and professional. My felony charge was reduced to a petty offense (traffic ticket). I am grateful that James Cosmano was my lawyer.

Awful!

This guy is a complete joke. Real nice when you 1st meet him & says what you want to hear but after that it was all downhill. Never gave me a set price & demanded $500 every time I saw him & got mad when I didn't pay him even though I paid him $500 several times! Then when I had enough of this loser ...& told him I'm hiring someone else, he was like 2 hours late to his last court date with me & had a real bad attitude. That's the thanks I get for giving him way too much money. Screw this guy & definitely don't go to him!

REVIEW

He asked us for $500 cash up front and said he could get the driving charges dismissed. Then upon our first court date got a continuance and told us to get my boyfriends driving extract by the next court date. He calls the day before the next court date and tells us we have to pay $500 more or he w...ill withdraw. We changed lawyers.

Would rather go to jail than use him again!

He was late both times we met, he attempted to extort $1500 dollars from me after I already paid him $500, he left me in the court room by myself after I refused to write him a check for another $1500. He claimed I wrote him a bad check, which he then cashed. He also took my car registration and pr...oof of insurance with him and to date has not returned it. One star is too many for this guy. Stay away!
