James the Scammer

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.

Worst lawyer ever. JUST A SCAM ARTIST THAT WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY

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

I do not have a private client named "Mike" or "Michael." Nor have I ever received any money from you whatsoever. I suggest you ascertain exactly WHO you contracted with for your representation...because it was not me. Sincerely, James Askew.

Excellent defense

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.

Outstanding performance!

I'm very pleased with the service I received from Jimi Askew. He was very professional and provided detailed information on the legal process. Jimi, you are amazing! You came into the middle of my case and just simply took control over things. You and Adrienne were there when no one else was and you ...two helped me beat a case that was a dark cloud over my head for a year. You came in after the original attorney I hired walked out on me. Jimi was there to guide me. With little time and a lot of hard work Jimi made it look easy, as if he had taken the case from the beginning. Jimi seems to have great knowledge and wisdom in the art of communication. Jimi assured me of the quality of my case, made me aware of the circumstances and all potential outcomes. He is a lawyer that makes sure you understand what's going on and never leaves you in the dark. Fantastic performance during trial, not once did you make a mistake. I couldn't thank you enough, Jimi. I truly appreciate your hard work. I would highly recommend Jimi Askew (Attorney at Law), he is honest, consistent and clever, knows what he's doing and gets he job done! "Not Guilty" sounded so good to hear. Thank you Mr. Askew!

Great experience advocate!!

I am a lawyer as well and have worked with Mr. Askew over the years. When I got a bogus traffic ticket i knew to call Mr. Askew. He is an experienced litigator and is well respected. In the end Mr. Askew was able to get the case dismissed!! He is highly recomended!
