Incompetent

After being filed for over a year, our case was dismissed for want of prosecution even after being given additional 90 days by court.

Mr. Polk provided quality counsel and kept it straight forward

I was in a legal jam and needed critical advise. I contacted Mr. Polk who spoke to me very candidly advised me on the best strategy to keep my record clear of criminal charges.

AMAZING LAWYER!

If you want a lawyer that will truly give his all, Mr. Polk is your guy! I have searched and searched for a lawyer, I went through quiet a few bad ones. I found Mr. Polk and it was like I had weight lifted off my shoulders. Every conversation we had he made me feel more at ease. My case was a child c...ustody case. Scary, yes! Win or loose I knew Mr. Polk did everything he could! We won our case and Mr. Polk was so emotionally in our case it was neat. I can never begin to thank him enough for all of his hard work, he is a very good lawyer that does not want to just take your money and half do the job. I can not say enough good things about him! If you want a great, knowledgeable, caring, true Lawyer Mr. Polk is the one for you! Amazing Amazing Lawyer!

"James Polk - the Texas Bulldog. No doubt about it. He is dedicated to his work; dedicated to his clients; dedicated to the law. If I were to get in a jam, this is the guy I want. The DAs can't stand it when Polk walks in - they know he is ready to try that case. Time after time when the situation was hopeless, Polk would pull off a miracle. He is a damn good lawyer."
