Posted by Michael | September 20, 2017 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

DUI Counsel

Mr. Anders was assigned to my son's DUI case by the court. My son, being over the age of 18, made the decision and qualified for representation via the Court. Once I received my son's consent to include me in his communications with Mr. Anders, I was immediately impressed with his demeanor and know...ledge. During the entire process, well over a year, Mr. Anders kept us abreast of the entire process and was always accessible. I would highly recommend him for your legal needs.

State jail felony

I picked up a state felony charge last year, and James was assigned to pick up my case.it took almost a year to get through it,and he stood by my side every step of the way.I told him I was innocent of the chargers and he never doubted me.He ran with it,never accepting any plea deals and standing str...ong against the DAILY, today we shot 2 plea deals down with no hesitation on his part, and a few moments later charges were dismissed. Let the man do his job, and he will get it done. Thank u James Sincerely, Jacob
