James Richard Askew

Beware of this attorney. He's a liar and a scammer. He'll tell you he will fight your case, but actually does nothing,g and if it looks like it needs to go to trial, he'll back out and keep all your money. We hired him for a flat fee to take us through a trial in a bogus misdemeanor case. He del...ayed the hearing with continuances for 2 years while he did nothing. Then, when the judge finally set a trial date, he backed out and won't refund any of the money he took. Leaving us in a terrible position and way worse off than when we hired him. He's a scammer.

There is no way this guy has this good of a track record and such great reviews. Basically worst lawyer I have ever dealt with. Told me he would do the best he can to get rid of my bogus charges..but literally just lied ..took my money and did no work whatsoever. Actually seemed like he was more wor...king in favor of the DA and criminal defense. This man is more of a scam artist than a lawyer....I would seriously even question if he is an actual lawyer and even went to law school. Seemed more like he took a one hour online school and printed out his diploma. This man did absolutely nothing he said he was going to do...and I would almost swear he didn't even bother even reading the paperwork and police report

From my first inquiry to Central Coast Criminal Defense I received valuable advice and attention. The team at Central CCCD provided three experienced attorneys to represent me and my case, providing a broad wealth of experience and advice. Phone calls, questions and inquiries were always met with pro...fessional and prompt attention. When criminal charges are brought against you, it becomes an overwhelming and daunting experience. It is imperative that you have confidence in those you hire to represent you. Should a criminal charge be leveled against you, prudence suggests that you make phone calls and inquires with as many attorneys as possible, and Central Coast Criminal Defense deserves your early review. Should an emergent situation require immediate attention, you can have confidence in the representation of Jimmy Askew and his team. All costs, advice on immediate and future steps in your defense, and a candid evaluation of your options are clearly presented. Truly valuable relief in a very stressful situation.

Mr.Askew has done nothing but an amazing job during his tenure as an attorney, I am speaking as a former client and aspiring attorney myself. He has defended myself and a few of the people I have referred to him who were charged with allegations that were unfair and unjust.if you have even an inkling... of doubt that you may be innocent that is a for sure sign to contact Jimmie to see what can be done with your legal matter.

Mr. Askew was able to handle my case and gave me great advice. Mr . Askew was affordable and took our case right off the bat. He is very thorough and efficient in dealing with issues that arise. He was quick on his feet and seemed to always know the answers. Great criminal defense attorney. I would u...se his service again if needed.
