Hire him!!
James Curtis is an amazing attorney! When I found myself in the position of facing a DUI charge, a place I never thought I would be, James was the best decision I could have made! He is experienced, competent, and caring. I am beyond pleased with the outcome of my case, and believe 100% that it would not have been possible with any other attorney.

He not only got it dismissed he helped me with my custody outcome
James is a true pioneer at what he does and his work truly speaks for itself. I saw how respected he was in the court and the knowledge he had helped guide my case to dismissal. I was so nervous with the outcome of my case due to child's father trying to use it against me in our custody battle but not only did James come in and take care of this matter, it helped in the outcome of my other case. I am forever grateful. I would highly recommend James. Very professional and straight to the point.

Mr. Curtis: A Steadfast Advocate
Mr. Curtis guided me through my first (and hopefully last) interaction with the criminal justice system. He successfully achieved a dismissal for my case. His finesse, thoughtfulness, local expertise, and quick thinking were all incredible assets in ensuring that my case did not escalate into a conviction or even a trial. I'm incredibly grateful for Mr. Curtis to this day.

The final result of my case was uncertain! James responded to my email and found time to meet the same day to discuss my case. I am proud to report the case was closed and I am moving onward with my life today. James is your guy!!

Second to None, Absolute Best Experience and Service!
Being that I was absolutely terrified of the matters in my case in general, Mr. Curtis made me feel comfortable right away. I hired a law agency and received an attentive, detail oriented, professional and I am forever grateful. He made sure to give regular updates, reviewing materials with me (pertaining to case findings, interviews, and the like), and never promised an outcome he didn't deliver. I hope to GOD that I am never in another situation where I would be in need of another lawyer but hands down, I would return for his services without a second thought. I cannot recommend his services enough. He is very dedicated to his profession and the people he represents. Guaranteed I could not have gotten a better outcome from a different lawyer. HIGHLY recommended!!

James saved my job!
My employer was prepared to fire me if I was found guilty. James got my case dismissed. Thank you for fighting for me.
