Wouldn’t recommend to anyone ever!!
Mr. Jim was hired to represent my son. He had my son to sign documents that he himself did not review. This document played a major part in my sons sentence. I paid Mr. Jim $6500. My son was sentenced to 25years at the age of 17. Mr. Jim did not represent my son in the best way.
