“My journey in law began with a deep appreciation for literature and a dedication to using words to advocate for others. As a lawyer, I’ve carried that passion into defending individuals facing criminal charges. My commitment to criminal defense law extends to advocating for those charged with DUI/DWI, felony, misdemeanor, and other criminal offenses. I believe in leveling the playing field between defendants and the prosecution, ensuring that everyone has access to a fair and just legal process. My goal is to provide effective representation and help my clients navigate the complexities of the legal system with confidence.”

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

"Problem solved - best attorneys in the country! I had a legal case that other lawyers said I couldn't win, and I should just pay up. Then I was referred to the James Law Group. They told me "innocent people shouldn't have to cave," so they strategized to win my case... and we did! Compassionate, hard working lawyers - they truly care about the little guy. If you use the James Law Group, you'll sleep better at night - your problems will go away."
