Posted by Brandy | May 05, 2018 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

"God Sent" is the best way to describe Mr. James!!!

The title pretty much sums it up for me! Mr. James was definitely heaven sent. I looked through tons of sites of lawyers and was given an array of fees, some out of this world, and promises that I will be able to get off of probation for a felony DWI. Just to have a clue of what I was getting my... self in, I did some research. Mothers against drunk driving organizations are very prevalent all through out Texas. There isn't getting off the probation. So I was thinking to myself, why would I pay an arm and a leg for false promises. So I was back to square one. I then inputed my information and shortly after I received a message stating that he was a friend of my judge and know for sure I won't be able to get of early , but on the bright side may be able to get the conditions modified. Finally, someone who "kept it real" and honest. I hired Mr. James and no time ( right at 2 weeks) I was given a date for my hearing. Yesterday, I went before the judge not knowing what to expect. Not even a good 15 minutes later, all fees for the remainder of my probation (2 years) waived, released from in home device of known as the infamous breathlyzer i had to blow in 3 times a day since 8/4/2014, and was noted I could also do the mail in reporting. I can say Mr James and Rebecka (his fellow Lawyer who stood in his place yesterday) went above and beyond for me. I couldn't ask for anything better!! I have them on speed dial just incase anyone needs them!
