James Gary Sullivan

I recommend Mr. Sullivan 100% to anyone trying to get the best result in their felony case. I was very impressed with his professionalism and care. He was never late to any of my court settings and he gave me good advice on what to do to help my case. He soon became more than a lawyer and more like a... friend by being there for me on my struggles with my case and life. I was charged with aggravated assault of a family member with a firearm. My case was a really bad one, but Mr. Sullivan was able to get the best result possible. I expected to get 15 years or more in prison, but at the end of everything he worked out a deal for a misdemeanor where I only spent four months in Harris County jail. This was a slap on the hand compared to what I expected. Mr. Sullivan was very diligent in his work and knew what he was doing at all times. He even speaks really good Spanish and was able to communicate with my sister since she doesn't speak English well. I recommend Mr. Sullivan to anyone looking for a professional, responsible, caring, smart, and effective lawyer. He really cares for his clients and that's something that is hard to find nowadays. He even helped me with a great payment plan. He is worth way more than what he asked me for and I am greatly appreciative for his work, professionalism, and friendship. He is a very smart person and he is always giving advice for life betterment. I really admire him and don’t have anything negative to say. He is so humble and a great person to be around. He knows the law like the palms of his hands and even on the first day he prognosticated what the prosecutor’s offer was going to be (15 years TDC) and what he was going to get it down to (1 year HCJ) and he did it even though I thought it was impossible. Thank God for people like him, thanks to him I'm done with all my problems now and I'm thankful to him for everything he did, thank you Mr. Sullivan. Sincerely, M. Delagarza

I hired James Sullivan to represent my 17 year old grandson who was charged with public lewdness after he and his girlfriend were caught fooling around at their high school. I could not be happier with the result. Sullivan persuaded the prosecutor to dismiss the case in exchange for my grandson takin...g a decision making class and performing 6 hours of community service. Sullivan is extremely efficient and professional. We only had to go to court twice. Sullivan was responsive to my phone calls and emails and always available to answer questions. I would recommend him to any of my family or friends that might need the services of a criminal or juvenile defense attorney.

My wife and I attended the rodeo this past February with a couple who are close friends of ours. Needless to say, we drank a little more than usual and took an Uber back to my house. As the night progressed on, my buddy and I got into an altercation that ended up with me making a drunken mistake and ...striking him in the face with my fist. Law enforcement was called to my house and I ended up being arrested for assault with bodily injury. I am a first responder, and needless to say, that kind of mark on my record would have ended my 20 yr career. When I returned home the next day, I immediately began my research to find a good attorney with a stellar background and who was also financially feasible. After hours of research, it was without question that Jim Sullivan was the man for the job. I truly can't say enough about this man. From the initial meeting where I shared my story to the day we were in court, Mr. Sullivan was compassionate, steadfast, and resilient to my needs and getting the case dismissed. His interaction with the district attorney was genuine while being dedicated to the mission of having these charges dropped. In the end, Mr. Sullivan fought for me, my family, and my career with an outcome better than I had imagined. The charges were dismissed. I can now continue my life in a career I am very passionate about and it is all thanks to Mr. Sullivan. Thank you, sir. You are truly the best.

Atty. James Sullivan addressed my case and overall situation with an impressive amount of humanity and sympathy. This was quickly made apparent as our first conversations concerned the root cause of the behavior that led to my arrest more than the technical legal aspects of its consequences. Atty. Su...llivan made the effort to understand me and where I came from in order to address the underlying behavioral issue. That is, to ensure not only the resolution of the legal problem at hand but also the prevention of further complications with the law. At that time, my situation was further complicated because I had a similar case pending in FL relating to my addiction. Atty. Sullivan even went as far as to search for addiction support groups in my area and suggest a few, and his generosity moved me to begin attending meetings close by. They've helped me tremendously. Atty. Sullivan was able to obtain an arrangement at the first court setting that resulted in a case dismissal at the second court setting after I showed concrete evidence that I was seeking help for my addiction. A better outcome could not be desired. I was given the chance to get my life on track. I have stayed sober ever since and am now returning to work as a professional in my field. Atty. Sullivan also charges very reasonable fees. For all that he did for me I owe thanks to Atty. Sullivan.

In July 2017, my then 16 year old stepson was accused of a sex crime involving a young half-sister in a different county. CPS got involved and then law enforcement. Our son denied the allegations. CPS closed their file in August with no finding, but in February we received word that we had to appear ...in court the next week. We were shocked and unprepared. After searching online, we decided to hire James Sullivan as our son’s attorney. Sullivan is board certified in juvenile law and has defended more than 100 juveniles and adults charged with sex crimes. He understands the complexities of these cases. We met with him on Friday of that week which left him only one business day to prepare. My wife spoke with Mr. Sullivan over the phone and described our son’s family history. My wife divorced her first husband, the biological father, less than a year after our son was born. The biological father himself was sexually abused by his own father as a child. During custody visits, he was not allowed to leave our son in his father’s care unsupervised, but he did so anyway. Our son has no memory of being abused by his paternal grandfather, but he may have been. When we met with Mr. Sullivan, he explained the urgency in making a decision as our son was already 17. If we fought the case at trial and won the nightmare would be over, but if we lost the consequences would be a disaster for our son’s future. At a minimum, the DA’s office would seek a determinate sentence which would lead to a public record of an adult probation or even prison sentence that could never be sealed. Mr. Sullivan would do whatever our son wanted, but he said he could probably persuade the DA to let our son have probation until age 18 and our son would have to finish the sex offender treatment program. After our son described what happened when he visited his half-sister and her outcry the next morning, Mr. Sullivan said the specific details, the immediate outcry and his family history made the allegations seem credible. He asked our son if he would be willing to take a polygraph test. As fortune would have it, he was able to schedule a polygraph that same afternoon. Unfortunately, our son failed the polygraph and then came clean about what he did. We met back with Mr. Sullivan and our son said he wanted to try and get probation. We only had to go to court twice. Mr. Sullivan worked out a great deal with the DA. Our son will be on probation for less than 9 months and will have to finish the treatment program. If he does so, he will not have to register as a sex offender and will be able to get his record sealed. Mr. Sullivan took a genuine, vested interest in our son as a person and a young man facing an incredible ordeal. We couldn’t have asked for any better representation nor do I think we would have gotten it. This wasn’t about a win in court, this was about making sure that the rest of my son’s life would not be defined by one terrible moment. Mr. Sullivan is everything one needs a lawyer to be. His expertise is time and money well invested. If you or your family need representation, I highly recommend that you put your faith in Mr. Sullivan as my wife, son, and I did.
