This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

He is so amazing and we strongly recommend him!

My wife was involved in a DV case and facing deportation. We hired James Wessel as my wife's personal defender. He is very professional and experienced. He first comforted my wife, instructed to us about what is his strategy to defend and what materials to prepare. Then, he contacted immigrant lawy...er for advice and negotiated with the prosecutor again and again. And today, we just got this case downgraded to the level of DISMISSAL. He is so amazing and we strongly recommend him!
