Great Outcome

My 19 year old son received two drug related charges while traveling back to Illinois. Because I live in the western part of the U.S., I wasn't able to be there with my son. I found James online and called him to explain the situation. James was able to reach a very favorable outcome, without eith...er of us ever having to be there in person. My son and I are both extremely pleased with James. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

James Watzke

During the process of my case, Mr. James Watzke had made a great effort to provide the best legal representation and allowed for a lenient sentencing. I would highly recommend his services.

Excellent Work

I was charged with Possession of controlled substance in the presence of a minor and they were trying to revoke a probation sentence. James worked hard to get the probation violation dismissed. The district attorney then tried to punish me with 10 years of probation on my new charge. James worked tir...elessly to get the district attorney to lower my probation to 2 years. James was very knowledgeable about the law, about what the police did wrong in my case and he kept me advised about the status of my case. I'm done with the criminal justice system in Oklahoma but I would recommend James for any legal matter where attention to detail and dedication to the client is important.
