James Stafford is an outstanding lawyer.

I retained James to defend my daughter, then a college student. He made her understand the gravity of the charges and was able to achieve an excellent result for her. The experience changed her life and gave me great confidence in the system which James navigated with aplomb.

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.
