James Egan

My facts could not have been worse. I had a second DUI offense in 7 years with a car accident and a .21 BAC level. Every other lawyer said I would probably do 45 days in jail if I didn’t go deferred. Mr. Egan’s legal team has decades of experience and they promised me a strong and recognized legal... defense for my very serious charge. James Egan’s team identified a series of legal issues and filed motions for the criminal case, resulting in a major reduction to Negligent Driving without any jail time. They also beat the license suspension, which is clearly their forte. The outcome they got for me goes beyond words and is frankly jaw-dropping. They saved my life! I would highly recommend their extremely solid legal services to everyone charged with DUI. These guys are all legal geniuses!

When I first met James Egan and his team of attorneys, I found out I missed the Department of Licensing 20 day deadline and that my license was going to be suspended for 90 days. On top of that, I was going to need SR-22 insurance for the next three years. The Law Offices of James Egan were able to... get DOL to grant me a late hearing request. They then won that hearing and saved my license. On my criminal case, despite blowing over the .08 legal limit, James Egan’s attorneys were able to convince the prosecutor to give me an infraction instead of a misdemeanor. I avoided jail, I avoided a license suspension, and even avoided a criminal conviction. I’m very happy with my legal services.

I had blown over twice the legal limit and my commercial driver’s license was at stake. A DUI conviction or a DOL loss would have ended my career as a truck driver. James Egan’s team was able to win my DOL hearing and get the prosecutor to reduce my DUI charge to a Reckless Driving, saving my commerc...ial driver’s license and my job. Absolutely amazing work.

I blew more than twice the legal limit and knew I was in big trouble. I am required to travel to Canada as part of my job and I knew a DUI conviction would likely keep me out of Canada for life. The Law Offices of James Egan got my case reduced and saved my job, and advised me to stay calm, positive ...and optimistic through this stressful wait time, which was invaluable, helpful and sound advice. The prosecutor was trying to put me in jail for five days but instead I walked away with just some community service. James Egan and the other amazing attorneys in this fine firm exceeded all my expectations and I couldn’t be more pleased, and I am forever grateful, humbled and indebted to the entire team at the Law Offices of James Egan.

I hired James for my first criminal offense, a DUI no blow. My case had no particularly unique facts, but I ended up losing my license for a year and spent a total of 36 hrs, including 24 straight hours in jail. James told me "There's a 99% chance you won't go to jail.". I have no idea if he was... full of it or if I just got unlucky. What I do know is that I paid $4500 to go to jail and lose my license for a year, which was really terrible. REALLY terrible. It seems James' attorneys' strategy failed: he never was able to get a hold of the Prosecutor to bargain. I had several continuances and it was pretty clear my attorney, Carl, Linda, whoever there was there that day, was just finally talking to the Prosecutor about my case right on the spot. In other words, on the criminal side, it's not clear to me James' attorneys did ANY work other than to show up (when other clients of there's were there too), and try to get a 5 second word with the prosecutor. I ended up pleading to reckless and got JAIL. My understanding is this is a strange result. So I got unlucky, or, again, James failed.
