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.

Tough/Smart Attorney

I had the privilege of working for James and was impressed with his tenacity as an advocate and counsel to clients. I highly recommend him to all my clients with criminal issues big and small.

Trustworthy. Tenacious. Professional.

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 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.

Posted by T.W.C. | January 10, 2014 | DUI & DWI

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!
