About James
An intense commitment to excellence and professionalism, combined with a genuine desire to help those in need, makes James one of the most sought-after criminal defense lawyers in Upstate New York.
James is dedicated to the defense of those wrongly accused or harmed by the actions of the government. Working tirelessly to represent his clients with every resource available to him, delivering the very best legal experience, and never settling for less than the best possible outcome are the rules he lives by. James has focused his whole career on representing the wrongly accused, and he measures his success in lives and livelihoods saved.
James has successfully defended hundreds of clients in federal, state, and appellate courts. Over the past decade, James has developed a unique, client-first approach to defense. While some attorneys seek to do the least possible, James believes clients get the best results when no avenue of defense is left unexplored. James has developed a team of investigators and experts, along with the attorneys, paralegals, and support staff of the firm. Together, James and his team investigate, negotiate and fully litigate every case, to achieve the best results possible for the client.
Criminal trials are rare. But James believes that every case should be treated as though it could go to trial. By investigating and litigating every case as though the trial is likely, instead of just a possibility, James ensures that every accusation is challenged, and every possible weakness is explored. If a case must go to trial, James and his team stand ready and able, with an established track record of successful verdicts and judgments.
This flood-the-zone approach has resulted in significant victories for clients. Situations that seem the most hopeless can end up having the best outcome. This happens because James and his team have the imagination to envision the solutions others miss, the dedication to work harder than their adversaries, and the courage to explore every available defense. Expertise, belief in the possible, and dedication: James brings these to every client’s case.
