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. To 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.

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 law 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.

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!

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 how 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.

James Angelino is the most professional, knowledgeable, compassionate and experienced attorney you will find anywhere. When my 17 year old daughter was charged with marijuana possession, Jimmy took the case and immediately filed for Pretrial Diversion. He worked with the court to get her approved and really put my daughter at ease. There were some issues that had to be addressed and Jimmy worked through them with us. He communicated with us every step of the way and explained everything so we knew what to expect. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better – I highly recommend James Angelino when in need of legal representation in criminal court.

I could not have asked for a more protective, more caring person to represent my son. His knowledge of the law and what a realistic outcome will be is outstanding. My 19 year old received charges from incidences he was not even privy to. (Overreaching detectives/DA? #dentoncounty) This was his first, and only, encounter w/ legal issues and we were flabbergasted. There was no evidence linking him to any of the crimes. Mr. Angelino helped us fight every step of the way. When the date came to select a jury for trial all charges were dismissed, post haste. Jimmy cared about our case, was in constant communication w/ us, even reminding me of court dates the day before. He was always positive w/ my son making him feel very secure and found a way to bond with us. Jimmy Angelino is the only attorney you will ever need for criminal matters. Thank you so much, Jimmy.

James is an extremely knowledgeable attorney and a tenacious fighter for his clients. What impresses me the most is his ability to remain calm and collected in the most high-pressure situations. Likewise, he has a true passion for helping others that is immediately evident to anyone who spends time with him. I strongly recommend James as a trusted counselor and advocate when the results truly matter.

James was first appointed to me by the court for a case about four years ago. I was going through a rough patch. A bit later I got into some more trouble and called him. He is excellent. Caring, knowledgeable, prompt,and got the job done. I now call him for any and every legal question or complication or piece of advice!!
