Patient & Professional

My first time getting into some trouble with the law, James was patient and explained everything thoroughly. I would definitely recommend him to anyone I know!

Excellent Attorney!

I had a lengthy DWI case which lasted almost two years, James was always in communication with me to let me know what was going on during this process. He definitely knows the laws and reviewed my file constantly and any tapes the DA had presented for my case very thoroughly. Case was eventually di...smissed before the trial started and I know James worked hard on my case for the entire period. Great, professional and respectable attorney and I always felt like I was in good hands with him. Would DEFINITELY recommend him!

Not guilty

James certainly knows his stuff. I was a little nervous at first, but he worked his magic and represented me better than I expected. You won't be disappointed with his work or his knowledge of the law!

Look No Further! James Fletcher: "The Solution"

Young , alone and beyond scared describes everything about my experience BEFORE consulting with James Fletcher. After our consultation, not only was I certain that I wanted him to be my lawyer, but in doing so, it marked the last day of my worries. James was not only diligent and assertive, but he s...howed admirable empathy when it came to dealing with me and my case. Going through the justice system has a way of making an individual feel down on themselves and at times the severity of the situation can feel overwhelming. James Fletcher was there every step of the way and from very early on, I knew my case was in great hands. Being a first time offender, I can tell you the level of uncertainty was baffling, but Mr. Fletcher not only explained everything thoroughly, he really dedicated himself to making sure I received the best outcome possible. After a couple months of dealing with having to go to court, James came back with a verdict that proved to be the solution I'd been searching for. I participated in something known as the "First Offenders program" which ultimately proved to be a benefiting experience and something I took a lot.... and soon after, my case was dismissed . Above all, I would describe Mr. Fletcher as hard working, approachable, and super professional. The most memorable thing about Mr. Fletcher was how he and his team went above and beyond to make sure that what was a young college student who made a mistake; That he got to learn from it, and become better for it. Thank you James, believe me that you are at the top of my list for anyone who ever needs legal help. 5 Stars all the way (would give you 6, or 7 if I could)
