Outstanding Attorney

Mr. Angelino did everything for me that he was supposed to do with my case. This was the first DWI charge so the outcome of the case was very important to me. Mr. Angelino was very knowledgeable in Collin County, and it worked for me to choose him to represent me. Overall I rate him an EXCELL...ENT rating and a fantastic lawyer, and a really upfront and cool guy. I'd recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney.

"Mr. Angelino is very good counsel, please take his advice for the future"- My Judge

I hired Mr. Angelino after I felt afraid for my fate being in another lawyers' hands with whom I had previously hired. I am a stay at home mother and feared being away from my children. I felt if I stayed with my first lawyer, I may very well be sent to jail. James, first and foremost, calmed my fea...rs. He immediately took over my case. James doesn't sugar coat the facts, but is reassuring. It was nice to have someone fight for me and my family! Which led me to have the courage to seek help and make some changes in my life. James walked me through every step. Constant communication was kept, usually via text messages! He was very respectful to my husband during meetings and included him discussions. (Which helped my husband stay positive for me.) After my court appearance, the judge turned to me and said, "Mr. Angelino is very good counsel, please take his advice for the future." Those words said it all! Thank you, James, for believing in me and for all you do!

Exceptional Legal Representation.

Mr. Angelino is a great lawyer all around. He always returned my phone calls in a timely manner. James didn't beat around the bush either. What was going to happen was explained to me before anything was filed or brought to court. I was very confident in Mr. Angelino's ability to carry out what he h...ad explained to me what was going to happen and what he could do for me. Anytime I had a question he was more than willing to answer it. I always refer anybody who asks for a lawyer to him.

“The Angelino Commitment” Provides the highest standards you expect from an Attorney

Mr. Angelino is a Lawyer who not only has tremendous knowledge of the Field Sobriety Test “Manual” and “DWI Laws” but also knows how to effectively “cross-examine” an officer in front of a jury. In my case – The arresting officers report indicated that I was driving while Intoxicated and ‘failed’... multiple field sobriety tests. Once Mr. Angelino reviewed the officers report, video and transcription of my arrest he was able to prove the officer performed almost every test on me incorrectly. The officer even testified under oath, in front of a Jury that he fallowed each test “by the book”! Mr. Angelino asked the arresting officer to “provide his book” ( Training Manual for Field Sobriety Tests ) to the court , however the officer was not able to locate it. So, Mr. Angelino provided “every Field Sobriety Test Manual written” for training officers on how to perform these road side tests when suspecting a driver is driving under the influence of alcohol to the jury, and proved the officer inaccurately performed the tests and inaccurately described my performance and results at the time I was arrested. After two days in court it only took the Jury less than 10 minutes to deliberate and find me “not guilty”. Thank you Mr. Angelino!!

James Angelino is a great lawyer!!!

Mr. Angelino is a great lawyer! He bypassed all my expectations as my lawyer. He went above and beyond to help me in my case. I payed significantly less for my ticket than I originally thought and my community service was cut in half. James stayed on top of my case and helped the whole way. You can ...tell he cares about his clients and wants to do the best job he can do. I will hire Mr. Angelino for any future legal problems I have and I recommend him for anybody looking for a great lawyer.
