Criminal Defense

James or Jimmy has worked on a numerous of my cases with amazing outcomes. One thing that stood out to me was how understanding and down to earth he is. During one of my cases which was a couple years ago. I was a reckless and broke college kid and he arranged a very reasonable payment plan for me. T...o this day I can’t thank him enough for that . I’ve known James close to 4 years and I know this review is long over due. But James is someone who cares more about the outcome of your case than the money involved, which is very rare these days. I laughed reading the reviews talking about how well known he is at the courthouse. Which I can tell you none are fabricated. In my case was able to meet the judge in private and the first thing the judge says to me was “ You are lucky I like this guy”. From then on I knew this was my guy. Thankfully I don’t have to reach out to him much anymore but all I can say is this man right here changed my life.

He works for you

James is a personable lawyer not looking for your money, he works for you and your needs. I've hired James and had a successful verdict in my case. James is one of the most knowledge lawyers you will meet. James has taught classes to officers on sobriety test. James has worked on both sides of the la...w as he was a cop. Who would you want to better retain then a guy that has worked on both sides. I recommend him to anyone. I have referred James on more than one occasion. James is your guy if you want your verdict taken personal, he fights to win every case.

Excellent Attorney!

Jimmy did a stellar job in helping our daughter out in 2 different counties. He was able to finesse her some incredible deals from the judges and DA's in both counties. He's friendly and responsive to his client, and well respected by DA's and judges. Highly recommend him!

Excellent Defense Attorney

James was awesome and handled three cases for me in both Dallas and Collin county. He is great to work with and he got my charges reduced on a DUI to Wreckless Driving, and got me off on early probation after only completing a third of the time on two felony charges. He knows the judges and knows h...ow to fight for his clients. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is needing advice and representation in any criminal charges dealing with DUIs or drug possession.
