I met Jim at rigorous training for DUI lawyers conducted at Harvard Law School by the National College for DUI Defense Lawyers. Jim has the experience and know-how to effectively defend citizens accused of DUI. If you want experience, knowledge, trial skills, and a "take no prisoners" approach, you should hire Jim as your DUI lawyer.
James Yeargan, Criminal defense Attorney on May 2, 2011
Relationship: Worked together on matter
Jim and I went through some of the most intense and comprehensive DUI training a defense attorney can experience. The entire time Jim proved himself to be a tireless advocate for his clients, and an out of the box thinker when it came to developing innovative ways of defending his clients. Anyone would be extremely fortunate to have Jim for their attorney.
Brian Manchester, DUI and DWI Attorney on Apr 7, 2011
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I met Jim at the American Chemical Society Forensic Gas Chromotography Course held last October in Chicago. This course was a very intense course that taught us more about gas chromotography than most of the lab techs who work at the state crime labs. There are less than 25 lawyers in the United States who have taken this course. This is but one example of the dedication that Jim has to be the best lawyer he can be. Jim goes above and beyond to learn the science behind how blood and breath are tested and this dedication to learning are what make him an excellent DUI defense lawyer. Ayone who hires Jim is in good hands
