James Gary Sullivan

Mr. Sullivan was the first and only I had to contact about a close friend of mines case (probation violation), he was quick to represent her on her charge and went to the jail to explain all of her options. She had no bond and he was able to get her an affordable bond and I was able to quickly bail h...er out of jail. He was then able to get her back on track and probation ended within 60 days and all fines dropped. I now keep his card in my wallet and will recommend him to anyone. Plus he's a real down to earth guy and a pleasure to talk to.

As parents, we never foresee having to go through the horrors of the court system! We found ourselves in that position in January 2018, when our adult son had an arrest warrant out for a serious felony sex crime. We met with Attorney James Sullivan for several hours at his office, discussing the ...facts of the case and my son’s life story. Mr. Sullivan took the time to really get to know my son who has autism and the difficulties in life my son has experienced. Mr. Sullivan is extremely knowledgeable about the autism spectrum and Asperger’s syndrome. He recommended getting testing and books and resources for him and us. James Sullivan prepared us for the first appearance in court. He advised us to hire a bondsman before going to court. We had the bond in place and the bondsman in the courtroom. Mr. Sullivan was able to get the judge to set a reasonable bond. Our son was able to walk from the courtroom to 49 San Jacinto with his bondsman for processing. He spent NOT ONE MINUTE in jail waiting, which could have been hours or days. For someone with Asperger’s syndrome, that was HUGE. The anxiety level was already off the charts and taking away time in jail gave him room to breathe! We spent 9 months under the shadow of what was to come. Because our son is honest and had told the truth, the court didn’t have much room for mercy. But, over the months, Mr. Sullivan worked with the prosecutor to make sure he saw a man and not just a docket number or a crime. Mr. Sullivan made sure that he knew what the autism spectrum and Asperger’s syndrome are and the effects they have on our son. At the conclusion, Mr. Sullivan was able to get a reduced charge and probation with deferred adjudication. As bad as it is, our son often comments on how much worse it could be for him! James Sullivan was, without a doubt, a gift to our family. Honesty and integrity covered in compassion was our total experience with him. We recommend him highly to any family who finds themselves in the crisis and chaos of the criminal system. With all the lawyers in Houston, it is beyond belief that we found James Sullivan, who was the perfect match for our son and us. We are eternally grateful to him. We are very blessed.

In November of 2018 I was arrested for the first time in my life. I spent time in jail for family violence and it was a moment of failure for me. I feared that my future and everything I had worked for over the course of my life would be in jeopardy. I’m not rich but I wasn’t going to risk my future ...any further, so I reached out to Mr. James Sullivan. I found Mr. Sullivan by googling for family violence lawyers. It was a Sunday and his name popped up showing that he worked on Sundays, so I gave him a call and we spent about an hour talking on that Sunday evening. Mr. Sullivan turned out to be the best decision I made in 2018. I told him I would be pleading not guilty and he told me he could possibly get the case dismissed, which was a relief to my stress. We went through 4 settings together, which required little to no work on my part. At each of our meetings Mr. Sullivan showed great professionalism, positivity, dependability, passion, and most of all he showed me that I could trust him. We talked about life, goals, and achievements. He shared his experiences and wisdom with me, recommending changes to certain aspects of my life. Overall, James Sullivan not only helped me legally, but he connected with me as a human being, and for that I will be forever grateful. My case was dismissed in exchange for community service and I left this experience as a better person. I 100% and wholeheartedly recommend Mr. James Sullivan as an attorney.

I stumbled across James's reviews here on Avvo after my son was being charged with felony assault on a public servant for being one of many students throwing notebook paper the last day of school. I contacted James via phone and he was in court but was able to answer his phone and discuss my son's ca...se. I immediately felt at ease. He was able to get my son out of the detention center within a half hour maximum after I hired him which was about 10 minutes into our phone call. During this horrible process he helped our family tremendously. When we went to court he was able to get the charges non-suited with just a few requirements that my son had to do. My son fulfilled the requirements and the case was closed non-suited- without us having to go to trial. Mr. Sullivan really takes the time to get to know his clients and goes the extra mile to get things done quickly( which is uncommon for criminal court). He knew my son was not guilty of assaulting a teacher with notebook paper and he did not stop until the case was non-suited. I would highly recommend him to anyone that finds themselves in need of a criminal attorney. He will go above and beyond for his clients.

I just want to say that Mr Sullivan is a great attorney and honest person. I was arrested and charged with Interfering with Public Duties. I thought that I was going to get charged with PI or something. We went out on the night to have a few drinks and to come home but that did not happen. I was goin...g through different emotions because I recently had a miscarriage and thought a few drinks would not hurt. Before I knew it I was tipsy and I think something was put into my drink because I never argue with my husband but that night was something else. On the way home I told the Uber driver to drop us off at Denny's so we could get some coffee and food. The only thing I remember was being outside and the next thing I know I woke up in county jail. I started to cry, trying to remember how I ended up there. My husband told me that the police officers told him that I was going to be checked out by the EMT's and then released. He later told me that they separated us and they ended up taking me to jail. The next day after I got released from that horrible place (county jail) which I would like to say that this was my first time ever getting into trouble and being in jail. I was scared out of my mind. We looked up the charges that I was being charged with and we found Mr Sullivan. We talked to him over the phone and he set up the appointment for the next day. Once at his office he explained the process and my options. I was very pleased that everything he explained to us was done by him. He was confident he could get the case dismissed. I asked him what was the worse case scenario and he told me. Thankfully he got the charges dismissed. I told Mr Sullivan that I'm thankful for his service and attention to my case. He is a great lawyer and everything he said was gonna happen happened. I definitely recommend Mr.Sullivan.
