He failed me in every way possible but charged top dollar. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere

He lied to me from start to finish I would have been off better with a public defender

Clemency hearing

James was EXCELLENT and successful in representing me with a Governors pardon! He was very to the point on how the Governors Pardon works. He spent a lot of time with me in person and was always available by email, text or phone for any of my questions.

bad experience

i had a bad experience with this lawyer, he tried to keep me in fear the whole time he represented me kept forewarning of how expensive the fee for could get if i wouldn't settle to a lessor fine , then he switched his rate after i won the case. felt like i was playing three card molly with a bunch ...of thugs. i won't report him to the bar at this time but i feel he should do some form of community svc. and take some moral class to teach him to have some respect for any of his future clients regardless of their race.

Replied last August 16, 2013

I gave a full analysis of this case to the client and I gave what I believe in my best opinion was a decision that I would reccommend. However, the client wanted a trial and I did my absolute best in the trial. This included cross examination of the witness that brought out facts that then led to a Not guilty verdict. Also, I was able to get this verdict without offereing the client to testify. I never brought in race or anything of such and this disppoints me.
