Speeding ticket

I was a client of James Flores, In February of 2015 I received a speeding ticket for going 90 on a 55. James informed me that this was a misdemeanor and he would try to get the charge reduced to a petty offense. He was successful in doing so and I'm very happy with the way he handled everything.

Dui-Criminal case

So if you are in trouble like I was, you need to do two things; get a lawyer, and call this guy. I was charged with a dui in June and within a couple of days I started to get many letters from other attorneys with either generic promises or scary stories of jail time and hefty fines. If you are here... reading this, you know what I mean. I am glad I made the decision to ignore them by coming to this site instead; and ultimately making the decision to contact Mr. James Flores. I found him to be professional, honest, and very knowledgeable in criminal law. Based on my discussion and his prior experience with this type of criminal proceedings, I hired him. Now I must admit I truly thought I had a no win case, I really only hired an attorney because I thought it was the best chance of hopefully receiving minimal fines/penalties. As I met with Mr. Flores though, I started to change my mind a little, he immediately began working on my case. He first explained how he would work get my license back, then how he would proceed to fight my criminal case and try to win it. He made the filing that same day to get my license back(something I thought I had lost). After going to court twice, he got my license back. No breath analyzer for my car, and no restrictions. While other attorneys in the courtroom were questioning how he did it, another attorney approached me as they were leaving and commented on what a great attorney I have. Yes, I repeat, another attorney approached me to say what a great attorney I have. Mr. Flores is a pit bull, he does not give up in court. During the phase with my license the judge questioned his argument, Mr. Flores did not back down and continued to argue for me, with the judge finally backing me. He will go through all of the little details of your arrest, and will look at your case from all angles to give you the best possible defense. He will not back down under pressure, and he will fight for you. On the date of my criminal trial Mr. Flores was well prepared, he had all of his arguments in order, and covered with me his final version of how he was going to question the arresting officer. During the trial, he paid very close attention to what was said so during his cross examination he was able to refute some of the testimony made by the officer. He brought a laptop with him to show video of my booking at the police station. I counted five objections that he made during my hour long trial, and only once being overruled. To my surprise, I was found not guilty. Not guilty for something just 6 months ago I had resigned myself to losing my license, probably paying a huge fine, and/or possibly receiving jail time or going through dui education class. Now was luck involved, yes, a little. Was a skillful attorney involved, yes, Absolutely. I truly believe the results of my case would have not been as favorable if I had another attorney. I found the rate for my case to be affordable. I paid one fee for my case and was not charged any additional costs. I would highly recommend him if you are any type of legal trouble.

Excellent Representation

I hired Attorney James S. Flores to represent me in a traffic court. From the beginning, I had the opportunity to always speak to Attorney Flores directly. He always answered all the questions I had and would always call me back -usually on the same day when I contacted him for information on my case.... What I liked the most about my attorney was that once he analized the situation of my case, he immediately developed the strategy for my defense. He was confident that we could win the case, but was very honest to explain me all the potential outcomes, even if the Judge does not rule in my favor. In such way, I was mentally prepared for any final disposition from the court. Attorney Flores is knowledgable, punctual, reliable, and will find the best strategy to properly defend his clients. My case was a complete sucess. All the charges were dismissed, so there is not damage in my driving record. I am so glad I was able to find Attorney Flores. I will highly recommend his office to all my family and friends.
