Meet the Business Owner

James A.

Business Owner

I focus on Criminal Defense & Municipal Court Cases for several reasons: First, many people arrested for crimes have no previous experience with the law. They need two things: They need to be educated and they need a good advocate.

They come from all walks of life, all ages, all professions, and are both male and female. Most importantly what they need from me is knowing that everything is going to be ok and the way I tell them that is by giving them the information that they need to make decisions. I can make a difference in somebody’s life, I can educate them and then ultimately be the best advocate possible for their case
