This lawyer helped us when no one else would help

My husband and I had some problems and we had a fight. I called the police on him and they took him to jail. He was on probation at the time and I didn’t really realize that by me calling the cops on him that he would get thrown back in jail. The cops said he was resisting arrest and he wasn’t. H...e was just shocked and mad that I called the cops. Mr. Terrell was the best Attorney we have ever had and we’ve had several. He got the results we needed and my husband is now back home. Mr. Terrell wrote a letter to my husband’s boss and he could have lost his job. The video I took of the cops beating up my husband for no reason helped.

Got lucky...

Mr Terrell represented my son who made a really bad decision that added up to 4 felony convictions. Through this entire process Mr Terrell followed each case into 3 counties for a mama who was lost and desperate to help her son. His compassion, experience, and vigilance saved a young mans life. My so...n will have the 2nd chance he deserves thanks to James Terrell.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have worked alongside Mr. Terrell on criminal law matters for many years, and have observed him in the criminal law cases that we are not working together, and I also know of his growing expertise in the area of civil rights, and I endorse and recommend him without reservation. He is trustworthy, effective, zealous, creative, energetic, and truly concerned about the rights of those whom he represents. One could not go wrong by retaining Jim Terrell for any matter which is within his ambit of interests and experience; one could go very wrong by seeking assistance from too many other attorneys."

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2002.

Discipline, Probation; no Actual Suspension issued in CA, 2002

updated on 06/18/2018

This sanction means the attorney had a suspension placed on hold (and ultimately removed) by complying with certain requirements.

James’s comment:

“This disciplinary action was 16 years ago and I regret that during this time, I was overextending myself in areas of law where I had no passion. I now practice Civil Rights 100%”
