Your case is in good hands with James!
I am so happy I made the decision to go with James! My case was definitely on the longer side, over a year and a half, but James hung in there with me and gave it his all until the very last minute!

Truly Phenomenal
James, hands down, is the best attorney in the area. He's the first and only person I needed to call. I researched him through his Yelp and Avvo reviews and his reputation precedes himself. He's supported me thoroughly and allowed me to walk away free of a DUI on the criminal and civil side. Hands do...
"James is the epitome of an excellent trial lawyer: highest integrity, very experienced, dedicated to getting the best result for clients, and respected by everyone that knows him. As a fellow trial attorney, I have absolute trust and confidence in James, and I highly recommend him to anyone that wants to hire the best."
"James is a thoughtful, intelligent, and dedicated advocate for his clients. His combination of language skills and litigation epxertise make him uniquely qualified to handle difficult cases in a diverse place like Hawaii."
"James is a great guy and a terrific attorney. We met at the National College for DUI Defense at Harvard Law School. DUI is a constantly changing and developing area of law. It's important to be BOTH a great trial lawyer and somebody who understands the complicated science in a DUI case. James is the consummate student in his chosen field and I would heartily recommend him to anybody facing a serious DUI charge."
"I endorse this lawyer. James and I are fellow members of the National College of DUI Defense (NCDD). To be a member you must meet high standards and keep current with DUI laws. James is also a two time graduate of the NCDD Summer Session program."
