Do Not Hire James! Find Someone Else!

0 stars! I would highly recommend and advise you to seek an alternative option if you are seeking a criminal defense attorney to represent you in your legal matter. James is not the person you want to hire! He will gladly take your money and let you rot in jail and hand you over to the system. You be...tter hold onto your money tight and run the other way if you want a fair chance in court. I hired him and my daughters dad sat in jail for 5 months getting his court date pushed back. I fired him and hired another lawyer who did the job in 1.5 months. He kept making excuses that he could not obtain the discovery file, but his office is literally located across from the courthouse! He is the worst lawyer I have ever dealt with! They answer the phone when it’s time to make a payment, but any time you reach out to follow up on your case, they make you feel like your inconveniencing them as if you are not paying them an arm and a leg to work for you! When you hire a lawyer they work for YOU! Not the other way around! Save yourself the Trouble! DO NOT HIRE James for any criminal matters.
