Got back 90% of my 100K seized

A Utah trooper seized 100K in cash (after they skimmed a few grand off the top for themselves) and Jim was able to get 90% back in a settlement with the state about 3-4 months later. He could have gotten 100%, but he let me know that Utah would drag their feet for a year knowing that they didn't have... a case as Jim had identified some things that invalidated the search (dog hitting on the car with a back window that was cracked open). The entire time Jim was good about answering all my questions, calling me back, keeping me informed during the process, and not misleading me in anyway (sometimes lawyers like to over promise to get you on the hook—not Jim). He was recommended to me by someone who knew attorneys around the area, and I would recommend him to others as well. Overall a great guy and someone you want on your side during a fairly scary experience (huge portion of life savings being seized). Jim knew all the characters involved locally (had dealt with the cop that pulled me over, knew DA, judges, etc.), which can be really important in any type of criminal defense; you can just tell he's a respectable guy, which means the people he has to work with have a higher chance of treating him well. I put the fate of my life savings in his hands, and he came through big time. Great guy, would work with him again and would recommend him to anyone.

Salt Lake Board of Realtors

I met Jim Bradshaw in 1997 when he represented myself and my ex-spouse on a Felony case out of Salt Lake City, UT. The case lasted for 3 years with many ups and downs every months. Jim and his staff put in many, many hours and hired investigators to counter the Prosecuting Attorney's office deep po...cket budget the Fed's have at their disposal. Jim succeeded in acquiring downward adjustments on mandatory sentencing that other attorney's would have given up and accepted. Jim is a fighter and takes pride in getting the 'BEST' deal for his clients. A brand new female Judge and former Prosecuting Attorney was just assigned to be our Judge. Ours was her first case. A tough woman. Bradshaw is one of the most respected Attorneys in Utah, very well known and skilled in the Federal Courts. Fast forward 2017 (20 years later), after paying all my restitution and starting a new life, I was determined to get my Real Estate Sales License back. I hired Jim Bradshaw to represent me and accompany me to sit before the Division of RE Committee Members, consisting of 12 members. After 2 hours and many probing questions Jim gave awesome testimony on my behalf. There is no way I could have done it without him. Period. Today I have a thriving RE business and very grateful for his assistance. It's is worth every effort and cost to invest in an excellent Attorney. Don't cheat yourself. You could end up with nothing but regrets.

Best Defense Attorney, Period.

I was referred to Mr. Bradshaw by a former US District Court Judge for a case that I was involved in. I found Mr. Bradshaw to be the most professional attorney that I have ever dealt with. Beyond his professional expertise, Mr. Bradshaw demonstrated an empathy for my situation that I found nothing ...short of amazing. I truly felt that Mr. Bradshaw cared for me, my family and getting the best out of my sticky situation. Through his advice and legal expertise, the case I was involved with went from a potential felony to a potential misdemeanor to the charges being dropped. I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Bradshaw. He is not only an excellent attorney, but an excellent human being as well. Thank You again for all you did.
