Posted by Fierra | January 14, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Federal Trial Lawyer

Frankly this guy was off the charts, in my specific case. Whether or not I got criminal charges wouldn't be the only factor in deciding whether or not I would ever rehire J.Stappler. To be honest, I wish I would have gotten a better deal on my day of sentencing. Of course in the end, I thought, "what... would have happened had I pursued taking my case to trial". - At any rate, Mr.Stappler actually allowed me to hire him late in my case, After two different attorneys weren't going to take my case. Plus many attorneys don't practice federal law. I was/am incredibly lucky to have hired a highly punctual lawyer, respondent , also with extensive experience. James was supportive in and out of the courtroom, and it was a pleasure to have him represent me.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
