★★★★★ 5.0 Tily · Jan 2026

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 repr

★★★★★ 5.0 Guido Damiani · Jan 2026

Mr. Short and his staff, provided excellent legal services throughout our case. He was consistently attentive, responsive, and available to answer our calls and questions at all times. He kept us well informed at every stage of the process, clearly explaining upcoming steps and expected outcomes. The results achieved were satisfactory, and his guidance gave us confidence throughout the case. We are very satisfied with his services and would highly recommend him.

★★★★★ 5.0 Nick R. · Nov 2025

Mr.short is extremely thorough and communicative during the entire process and was able to get my charges dismissed entirely!! never dealt with such a situation before and he was very informative throughout the entire length of the case. hes even assisting with the expungement process as well! I truly appreciate his professionalism.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Tina · Dec 2025

I hired Mr. Short hoping for strong legal representation during a small domestic issue(pouring beer on an ex who really deserved it). The service I received was profoundly disappointing and resulted in a traumatic experience. Instead of fighting for me, I felt completely abandoned and unsupported. He also thought my sentenceing was fare. I had to report to a parole officer randomly, weekly domestic abuse classes, and 1 year of probation. Not to mention all the money spent on those places when i had to attend. I beg you to find counsel elsewhere. It will save you time and money.
