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.

The Best Attorney you could ever ask for!

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 a...nd 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.

Jimmy is an amazing person!

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.

“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!!

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!
