This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent lawyer

James is a very good lawyer. He helped me get a misdemeanor dismissed, even though my case was tough due to the nature of it. His price is pretty good. Ever since i went and talk to him in person, he seemed very confident about what he does and that made everything more easy and less nerve wrecking. ...I highly recommend James To represent anybody in court. Honest, Respectful, and Trustworthy lawyer. Thank you James!
