Fresh start

I was looking at 15 years, Mr Hayes fought the tiger lady (D.A)and won,at the time he was a public defender, in my opinion he's one of the best criminal defender lawyer around,I highly recommend him. He went above and beyond, putting his name and reputation on the line for someone he didn't know,his ...investigations we're spot on,his encouragement and determination for his clients is awesome, I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Great lawyer, always there to help you !

Well, I was arrested with a tourist visa in the US this past summer for a felony class C second degree assault and my charge was droped into a misdemeanour. He was always there to talk to me, answer my calls and he's still helping me now even if I'm back in my country. I'm plainning on going back in... the US. Mister Hayes is still helping me.

"I've been opposing counsel on both criminal and family cases with James now. He cares about his clients - he negotiates, he does his research, and he works hard to get good outcomes for the people who hire him. He's well liked in the Springfield legal community, and he's well-respected as an attorney. Both are very important. He has my endorsement."
