Great Attorney

James helped me through a tough situation and I was a nervous wreck and he walked me through it step by step and made it all go away!!! I couldn't be more grateful. I highly recommend him if you are in a tough spot. He cares about helping others and has the best staff.

Consultation

Recently, I had the pleasure of speaking to Mr. Hairgrove over a phone consultation about a problem concerning my son. Many attorneys come off as being pretentious and impersonable, acting as if they're doing you a favor and making it obvious that their payday is most important. How refreshing it wa...s to speak Mr Hairgrove. I spoke with him for approximately 30 minutes and not once did I feel hurried. Mr Hairgrove never spoke about retaining his services or related costs. He just talked to me about the issue and offered good sound advice. I was the one who offered to pay his fees for a conference call representation in which he could have easily accepted and made some easy cash. Instead, he told me that he would make himself available if needed but offered me enough sound advice that would help me settle the matter without an attorney. I worked for over 30 years in Law Enforcement and met some good attorneys but many that I didn't care for because of lack of ethics and integrity. Mr. Hairgrove seems like one of good lawyers that still believes in integrity over profits. I would not hesitate to retain his service if needed! Thank you again!

Mr. Hairgrove has been vey helpful and caring to me and my family. Hes worked on a DUI case and a misdemeanor case for me. He knows I use to struggle with alcoholism , but he was so helpful and even spent time talking and reassuring my grandmother at the courthouse. Both cases had good results. I wou...ld highly recommend Mr. Hairgrove to anyone looking for a good, caring lawyer.

Great Attorney

Great Attorney, he explained everything to me before my court date and after the court dat, he shows up in court multiple times with a flat rate. He is a fighter.
