James Ira Devitt

I was charged with a DUI, Jay was able to fight the DUI and was able to get my license reinstated and avoid jail time. He is very knowledgeable and knows how exactly what he is doing. I definitely recommend him to everyone; he was always available when I had a question, he answered me promptly and ex...plained everything to me. When in doubt of an attorney James is the person you want to have. Thank you Jay!

About a year ago my niece found herself facing some serious charges. After visiting her in jail my family and I ran across a young lady who gave me Mr. Devitt's card and said call him. The best decision I ever made. Not only is he knowledgeable but he gives it to you straight. Having counsel that kn...ows what he's doing makes all the difference in the world. He's very responsive and flexible. We were able to have a consultation over the phone and have a game plan. He even went to visit her in jail to give her encouragement. My niece ending up facing no charges at all. It's no wonder that a year later my niece got into another bad situation , I didn't hesitate to call Mr. Devitt. Again the outcome was favorable, she ended up facing no charges. Truly glad I met Mr. Devitt. I will definitely refer him to anyone in need.

HOW MANY TIMES I PAYED MANY ATTORNEYS. I PAID LIKE MORE THAN 4 AND NONE RESULTED IN THE WAY I WANTED. HORRIBLE WORK, THEY DIDNT EVEN SHOW UP TO MY CASES, SO I WAS HOPELESS RIGHT THERE IN MY CELL IN COUNTY JAIL SITTING FOR ALMOST 7 MONTHS. A FRIEND OF MINE INSIDE THERE TOLD ME THAT I COULD CALL THIS G...UY NAMED JAMES & THAT HE WAS TRYING HIS CASE & THAT HE WAS ABOUT TO COME OUT IN 2 WEEKS. IN MY DESPAIR, I CALLED HIM & HE ANSWERED QUICKLY IN A POLITE MANNER. HE ANWERED ALL MY QUESTIONS & FROM THEN ON HE TOOK MY CASE. HE EVEN OFFERED A DISCOUNT & SET UP A MONTLY PAYMENT WITH GRACE PERIOD. AFTER TAKING MY CASE ABOUT A MONTH AGO, HE SET ME FREE FROM JAIL & SAVED FROM PRISON. IM RIGHT HERE WITH MY FAMILY CELEBRATING THIS GREAT MAN WHO DESERVES THE SUPPORT OF EVERY CALIFORNIAN.

I've never been in trouble before, so when I was caught and charged with a DUI, I was beyond scared. I'm completely oblivious to how the system works. My friend recommended James and it was a godsend. Right off the bat, he laid out exactly what I should expect, what the outcomes could be, and wh...at my options are. He quickly answered any questions I threw his way. And we never crossed any boundaries until he made 100% certain that I was comfortable with any of the decisions being made. The actual process went far smoother than I assumed. I barely had to deal with the courts and in the end, I got the best possible outcome. One thing that sticks out about James his that he's really personable and helpful. I never felt intimidated by him, but knew that he had a firm grasp on everything going on. I would recommended him in a heartbeat to anyone else in a similar situation.

This last summer I was arrested for a DUI in the Valley. I was hit by an oncoming car whose drive claimed I recklessly swerved in front of her. I only blew a .06 which is .02 BELOW the limit of .08, but they still claimed I was "impaired" and charged me for a felony DUI. They said my license could ...be taken for 2 years and since my job needs me to drive the company car around LA, without a license, I'm without a job. This DUI was going to make me and my family homeless. My wife and I were clueless as to what we should do. We have 4 children at home, so this was just not an option for me and my family. We were really scared as to what was going to become of us. Neither my wife nor I had family in the area so we really had no one to turn to. With the economy down the drain, I couldn't just go out and get another job. I knew I needed professional help, more than what the courts could offer in the form of a public defender. I searched and searched for an attorney, until a friend recommended Devitt and Saltzburg. I called Jay Devitt the following Monday and spoke with him regarding my case. He was extremely professional and was able to explain everything in terms that I understood. He was very confident in his approach, which was comforting, since mine and my family's future was hanging in the balance. During all the court dates, Jay was right there with me, explaining everything in terms I could understand, rather than the usual court jargon I couldn't wrap my head around. We only went to court 4 or 5 times before Jay was able to get the charges dropped completely. No conviction on my record and I got to keep my license! Jay, you're the best and my family and I thank you!
