I am incredibly grateful for my criminal defense attorney, James Short and his receptionist, JoAnne. From the very beginning, they brought clarity and calm to what was one of the most stressful times in my life. They were clear, concise, organized, and extremely thorough, making sure I always understood what was happening and what to expect next. What truly sets them apart is their compassion. I never felt like just another case — I felt genuinely cared for. JoAnne was consistently kind, patient, and responsive, and her follow-up made a world of difference. My attorney’s dedication, professionalism, and strong representation gave me confidence and peace of mind when I needed it most. This team goes above and beyond for their clients. If you are looking for not only exceptional legal representation but also people who truly care, I cannot recommend them highly enough.
