Great Lawyer

I would highly recommend Mr. Casey he is a very professional and honest attorney. It really shows that he cares about the outcome of each and every persons case. Excellent communication whether it be through email or in person he takes the time to answer any and all questions and fully inform you abo...ut what options you have with your case. He was appointed my CDA for a case recently and i lucked out because i couldn't be happier with the results and he was able to get my criminal case dismissed.

Awesome lawyer!

James is THE MAN!! Couldn't have been happier to have him representing me. I lucked into getting him assigned to my case. There was a "conflict" with the public defender, and he was assigned to my case as a "Conflict Attorney." From the get go, he was excellent at communication. He listens, gi...ves his honest opinion, adds value and is 100% intent on getting you the best possible resolution for your case. Coming off a horrible experience with my last case/trial, this was quite a refreshing change and, I believe, how a lawyer/client relationship should work. He was attentive to my needs, receptive to my feedback and together we developed a sound approach to our plea. He was honest and direct that there was a very low likelihood of winning the case, if we went to trial. So after reviewing the discovery, and all the work I had put in on my recovery to date we went back to the judge and he gave a better offer. Then, we tried a couple new things and got an even better offer, the second time around (from a very unforgiving judge), which I was very happy with and ultimately took. Most lawyers pretend like they're actually listening to you but are distracted and aren't actually listening. But he actually listens. He's also available at all reasonable hours during the day, when you need advice or to bounce thoughts off him, and if he isn't, he'll arrange a better time to talk. He was a whiz in the Ventura County court room. He knows the people, the judge, the system and exactly which buttons to push. Above all else, he is very nice and approachable and a true advocate for you, and that makes the entire process (which is already very difficult) so much less stressful and overwhelming. I cannot recommend James and his services highly enough.

Outstanding Divorce/Family Attorney

I would recommend James Casey highly. He made an incredibly bitter, 2+ divorce much more tolerable. Because of work I had to stay on the east coast, so Mr. Casey basically kept things moving in California so I could continue to provide financially for my family. His attention to detail, streamlined... communications, and clear directives provided everyone involved with the right facts and timely information to move forward, including a supremely arrogant opposing attorney. Mr. Casey stated facts without using bullying tactics, and I'm convinced my divorce would still not be finalized had Mr. Casey not been my attorney. Thank you again, Mr Casey!!

James Casey Review

I would highly recommend James Casey to anyone in need of legal help. He is extremely experienced and hard working. He eased my anxiety about my case and was available to meet with me or talk on the phone whenever I felt the need. I am confident that he will get me the best possible outcome in my cas...e. I am very grateful to have him as my lawyer.
