James Gary Sullivan

Aggravated Assault of a Family Member - Dismissed. I strongly recommend Mr. Sullivan. He is exceptionally understanding, helpful, and displays a high level of professionalism. Never had to worry about him not answering a call or text ever. He was always there for me when I needed here no matter w...hat time it’s was to answer questions or whatever it was I needed. He deserves more than five stars. Thank you, Mr. Sullivan, for everything you’ve done, and for being such an amazing person. He genuinely cares about you and the outcome of your case. I knew I was in good hands as soon as I hired him. I will definitely recommend him to anyone in the future, without a doubt.

If I could give 10/5 Stars I would. Mr. Sullivan is a smart, compassionate, and amazing at his job. I was charged with family assault, something I never thought I would be charged with. My Ex at the time and I had a lot to drink one night and things went south. There was an altercation between who'd ...drive and the night ended with me "pushing" her. A police officer was called to the scene to investigate and I was charged. In the state of Texas a push or a shove can be considered "assault." I contacted Mr. James Sullivan who seemed to have the qualifications and experience. Luckily, my ex worked with me and him to solve the misunderstanding. The event was an eye opener for me and I learned a lot from it. The event took place almost 3 years ago and Mr. Sullivan is still assisting me on legal advice. I will always recommend this man for the job. Thank you Mr. Sullivan.

A couple years ago, I received a DV felony based on the false and emotionally-charged testimony of my then-partner. This was especially difficult because it was a long distance relationship; I lived halfway across the country. I attempted to live with her to advance our relationship, and needless to ...say, that didn't work out. Jim Sullivan has dealt with many similar DV cases as evinced in these reviews so I knew I could trust him. His strategy of getting the case dismissed by the grand jury spared me from taking multiple trips down to Texas for multiple arraignment hearings and, of course, a trial. Jim is extremely thorough in gathering info, ranging from text messages to psychological diagnoses, all in order to convince the grand jury to dismiss the case. I am endlessly thankful for his work, and we are now working on expunging the case from my file. It's like a bad dream coming to an end. Thanks again!

Mr Sullivan is an amazing criminal defense lawyer who I hired for the dismissal of my family violence case. I could not have asked for a better person to handle my case! I am an international immigrant, living in the US on a visa for more than a decade. Work pressure and COVID stress led to an alt...ercation between me and my spouse one day. Cops were involved and I was booked for family violence. I have always been a law abiding person, still working towards getting the American citizenship, and I was distraught when this happened. I contacted Mr. Sullivan over a long weekend and from the first call itself, it felt as if I was speaking with a family member, who really wanted to put me at ease and help me. He told me to stop worrying, and heard my story in detail without rushing me. He took over my case and worked very hard over the next few weeks to convince the DA to get my case dismissed. Mr. Sullivan's fee was reasonable, and he was always there to answer my questions. He returned my calls either promptly, or at the earliest opportunity. He was very professional and empathized with me throughout the process. He gave me hope that everything will be alright and comforted me whenever I felt low. He also tried his best to resolve the differences between me and my spouse, as he firmly believes in the sanctity of marriage. Mr. Sullivan is genuinely a nice person, and I can vouch for the fact that he is a smart and dedicated lawyer. I hope no one ever has to use the services of a criminal defense attorney but in case you do, you will not find a person better than Mr. Sullivan to be on your side!

James Sullivan quite possibly saved my future from disaster. He's a fantastic lawyer to have in your corner and I'm glad I didn't go with someone else. I recently had a case come up that I needed some serious help with. I never had a criminal record in the past, and with my career, having a blemis...h on my record like this could potentially black list me. The situation rose when my wife and I started getting into very large, drawn out verbal arguments that sometimes led to the police being called. She had stopped taking her medication (anxiety and depression among others) which led to her irrationality in many situations. One particularly bad morning, we had an altercation as she blocked me from leaving for work and she later called the cops with an assault claim, thinking it would just scare me into coming home. Instead, they arrested me for Assault Family Violence (another fancy way of saying domestic violence), with which the D.A. takes it upon themselves to charge instead of my wife telling them not to. Needless to say, I was more than a little scared. I could have an assault on my record that could NEVER go away, regardless of probation or deferred adjudication. or pre-trial diversion (make sure to look into this if you have been charged with Assault Family Violence). I called James Sullivan after talking to about 8 different lawyers. Half of them were outrageously expensive with no promise to do any actual work, while the other half were scaring the hell out of me by saying that I could face jail time. Sullivan's approach was very different. He was calm, collected, and understanding. His background in various criminal cases gave him a wide breadth of experience – so he could communicate exactly what was coming, the steps I needed to take, and the possible outcomes of every decision. He was prompt, on time, and ALWAYS composed. In the end, I now have a way to get this case dismissed (without trial) and we are moving forward. Pretrial intervention is another way to get a case dismissed, but what Sullivan worked out is even better. This was a much better resolution than I could have ever hoped for especially after talking with other lawyers. Sullivan's fees are extremely fair, especially for the knowledge, expertise, and work he puts into your case. The fact that he can convey composure and seems to genuinely care for what you are going through is a huge bonus. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Give James Sullivan a call first.
