Highly recommend

I had a very good experience. He was very helpful, and did a great job. He took time to teach me how to breath good and how to control my anxiety and stress in court. He did a great job in the court while defending me.

Quiet Bulldog Attorney

James has a unique way of quietly and confidently crafting a story that incorporates the law and is interwoven in the specifics of the case that leave opposing counsel clueless of what direction he is taking. He is brilliant at strategizing and understanding the unique nature of each individual case... and made sure he addressed every issue of my case in a strategic and methodical manner. I have never experienced another attorney so skilled at managing case details so effectively. PLUS, he did not charge me for my initial consultation.

Helped in a time of crisis

James Giries promptly helped me in a time of dire need. Was transparent and honest about the situation and what I need to do. Took time walking through the situation and offering his experiences with the situation.

BEST FAMILY LAWYER WE COULD ASK FOR !

Mr. Giries was the third lawyer we met up with regarding our case, and the only one to sit down with us at the beginning and explained his strategy as many times as we asked him too, he was very thorough throughout the whole process. He was always available through e-mail and phone calls and answered... all of our questions completely anytime; English isn't our first language but it absolutely wasn't an issue working with Mr. Giries, he was very professional and patient while handling our case. The process was taken care of in a very short amount of time and we couldn't be happier working with Mr. Giries. Thank you!
