Review James Morris

Smart and trustworthy person to have in your corner

Posted by

I contacted James when I was arrested for a DUI. I had been in some trouble when I was younger, so not completely new to the court systems but now, as an adult, I knew a DUI conviction could negatively affect me in my job and I wanted to be sure I was doing the best to protect myself. While I'm not happy with the situation I got myself into, I was glad to have James in my corner advising and taking care of things in the best possible way. I have already referred him to another friend as well.

James was great. He was very knowledgable about the law concerning my situation. He went out of his way to make sure he covered every aspect that was looming in my case. His friendly personality also help ease my nerves not to mention that his rates were very reasonable.
