"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!

Superior DUI/DWI Attorney!

Jimmy Angelino is the best choice for DWI/DUI defense! He won my case with his insurmountable knowledge of the system with ease, flow and grace. Jimmy was recommended to me by 2 people when I was seeking recommendations for representation. I was impressed by his extreme depth of knowledge of both... sides of intoxication cases, in addition to him truly caring about the wellbeing of his clients. His intention is authentic in every aspect, which is what I respected most about Jimmy. I knew I had the best lawyer when the judge commented, while we were on a break, that I had "an excellent lawyer one of the best", and this was before we won! Another key moment of reference that I had the best lawyer, was when the police officer who arrested me was exiting the court room expressed to Jimmy, that he had never been challenged with the depth of questioning in a court room before. This confirmed in court, that he is highly respected by all members of the justice system If you want a lawyer who will explain your options and work tirelessly, up to the day of the trial, to win your case, Jimmy Angelino is the lawyer to do it! His knowledge of the law and experience on the police force allows him to bring to light several aspects of your case other attorneys would miss or overlook. . Jimmy went out of his way to keep me informed of the progress of the case and my legal options. I recommend James Angelino to anyone who doesn’t want to take a chance with his or her DWI/DUI charge. Jimmy is an excellent choice for anyone who wants a lawyer who truly cares about the wellbeing of his clients and wins!

Amazing Lawyer

Mr. Angelino was referred to me as "the lawyer that cops are afraid to go up against." He did an amazing job communicating with me (via text, which is perfect for my generation.) Not only did he win my case, but he kept me confident and really seemed to care about the results.

Excellent attorney !

James Angelino helped me through the terrifying ordeal of a DUI charge. My confidence in him was there from the very first visit to his office. I was scared and alone through it all and he assured, comforted, and never candy coated the situation. My charges were complex and my trust in his ability wa...s paramount. He was always available to answer the numerous never ending questions I had. I would and do recommend James to those who are looking for a smart, patient,extremely knowledgable in the law and his craft, and above all caring and non judgmental. Thank you James from the bottom of my heart I can never express in words how you saved my life Nathalie

The Best Choice in DFW!

Jimmy Angelino is the best choice for DWI/DUI representation. He is knowledgeable, straight forward, and WINS CASES. I met Jimmy in 2008 while looking for legal representation after a questionable DWI arrest. I was impressed by his in-depth knowledge of both sides of intoxication cases. The y...ears he spent as a Police Officer for Dallas and the Chief Prosecutor handling intoxication offenses provided him with a depth of understanding beyond that of most criminal lawyers. Jimmy clearly explained my options and listened to my expectations for the case. He worked tirelessly for over two years, up to the day of the trial, to see that my charges were dropped. His knowledge of the law and experience on the police force allowed him to bring to light several aspects of the case other attorneys would have missed. In court, it was easy to see that he is highly respected by all members of the justice system. Jimmy went out of his way to keep me informed of the progress of the case and my legal options. I recommend James Angelino to anyone who doesn’t want to take a chance with his or her DWI/DUI charge. It is easy to be overwhelmed when it comes to choosing the right lawyer, but choosing correctly can mean the difference of moving on or going to jail. Jimmy is an excellent choice for anyone who wants a lawyer who truly cares about the wellbeing of his clients.
