Highly Recommend

James Padgett is very professional, knowledgeable, and confident in his practice! Mr. Padgett will act on your behalf to the best of his ability! Im very grateful for the positive outcome(case dismissed)! He worked diligently and had a very good open line of communication that was clear and concise. ...He kept me updated about the ongoing litigation to where I knew where we stood at all times throughout the case. I highly recommend James Padgett!

2 Counts “ Possession “ - Waiting for disability

I was able to bail out of jail b/c at the time I had a full time job. Now that the state has picked up my charges . I am in very bad health and have , had no choice but to file for disability. I am doing everything I can to pay for this lawyer . Whom may not even get these cases dismissed. I am truly... scared of what’s to come. My court date is less hen one month away. I have to pay this man when he tells me . He will not represent you, if you are unable to make one payment, on the day he had decided. He told me “ if I am unable to make the scheduled payment then we no longer have a relationship.” Do you know how scary it is to be 86lbs , dying from loss of blood , and heart problems. To be spend the money to get bailed out , then money to obtain him as a lawyer, to just be tossed aside due to unable to make a full payment. I am literally contemplating suicide, torn from all my pride. B/C I do not know how I will have the money financially to pay him. Also ... I need to go to the hospital to have a blood transfusion and every time I am admitted due to near death. I don’t even want to go to the hospital b/c I will be admitted, and miss my court date / payment date with this man. I’m honestly not sure if you should hire him or not . I am scared that since he knows I am unable to keep my payment plans with him that he will not do the best job on my case. I get the fact that he should be paid for his work as everyone should. I just wish I felt more at ease about the situation and solution. I’m a nervous wreck, and I really do not see what the point is of me being on this earth any longer. I wish I could work . Or he would at least allow me to oh him as I can not as he wants . All of this is due to my actions of putting myself in a situation that got be put in jail. Believe I’m not blaming the lawyer for that, I am however. Wanting to warn anyone who is unable to make monthly or routine payments to seek other counsel . Or he will drop you. Hope this helps someone...

Good Christian Honest Man

I approached him with a case that was a joke of a case to be honest, but he took it on anyhow. It was a simple misdemeanor but the court was treating it like a felony. He told me not to worry about it that he would take care of it. And he did. He was able to get my case completed within a month's tim...e and every time I called or text him, he answered back promptly. I am not sure about all these people who had put a bad review, but Mr. Padgett is a good attorney and we will use him in the future for other family issues that are arising at this time.

Misdemeanor Case

I went to Mr. Padgett with a misdemeanor and a background. He was able to work out an amazing deal. He's attentative, always available, and does not judge. His work is impeccable and his care for his clients is outstanding. Thank you Mr. Padgett.
