James Blatt saved my life

Did a miraculous and professionally perfect job for me.

Posted by Janet | May 14, 2014 | DUI & DWI

Bad things happen to good people

A criminal attorney is not what I ever hoped to need. When my son was picked up on a DUI I knew I needed the very best.. The night he called me from the police precinct, my first thought was, I don't know any criminal lawyers. Who is going to defend my son? Without a reference, my fingers scoured the... internet. Something about his website put me at ease. When I called his office, it was already late, but his secretary answered as fresh as if I was the first call of the morning and Mr. Blatt got on the phone immediately to speak with me. Right away his professional manner put me at ease. He explained everything my son would be going through and how he was going to be there with my son every step of the way. Knowing every time I felt afraid that Mr. Blatt would always be there to take my call and patiently talk me through my fear is what kept me kept me sane. He handled my son's case as if it were his own child's life in jeopardy. When your child is behind bars, the whole family is in prison. Mr. Blatt made sure my son got back to living his life as quickly and painlessly as possible. To me, Mr Blatt's expertise and integrity is unmatched. I can never thank him enough.

Thank you Mr. Blatt

Overall Great work. My case was very complicated and I was not sure if anyone would understand what really happened. Thankfully Jim and his team understood completely and more importantly got my case dismissed!!! Thank you!!! I would highly recommend.

Got the Job Done!

Mr. Blatt took on my case head on and was able to get me no jail time. Not sure what I would of done if I had to go to jail. Unfortunately Mr. Blatt was not the first attorney I hired for my case. After wasting my time with the first attorney I was ecstatic to find a law firm that actually cared a...bout my case. I would highly recommend him.

James Blatt never tells you truth He only takes your to take your money but those promises will never get delivere

Mr james Blatt is the worst attorney you will ever find in this profession Mr Blatt never will tell you the truth He will make promises and false promises that he will get you this relief in your case but the only thing you get from him is false promises Mr James Blatt wants your money and he want...s to become friends to Prosecuting Attorney Mr Blatt always wants his good relationship at the cost of his client with District Attorney and make DA happy with his service Mr Blatt aim is to take maximum amount of money and provide you minimum service He wasted my two years and never filed one page of motion to reduce the charges or motion to dismiss my case as promised to judge in my case Because Blatt is always with prosecutors not with his client I had very terrible experience with this Attorney please keep away with totally dishonest and thief Attorney Keep away from this criminal Attorney Do not retain him

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
