CASE DISMISSED, TOP NOTCH ATTORNEY SAVED MY LIFE
Posted by Joe, a criminal defense client
"The first thing that I noticed about Mr. Stanley was his communication. We spoke nearly every single day. He returned responded to every email, voicemail, and made sure that I was in the loop. Sometimes I was scared to read the emails because I feared I wouldn’t like what I read. Which leads me to another point, his honesty. While keeping me in the loop, he informed me of every single finding related to my case. Sometimes the findings were good and sometimes the findings were not so good, regardless he made sure I knew about everything and we discussed every single point. After my first conversation with Mr. Stanley, I could tell he was my best option. I felt comfort and trust with him, which from what I have heard can be hard to find in lawyers.I was charged with Assault in Denver. As a result of this criminal charge, I was living my life thinking I would have no future career, facing burdens of unemployment and finding places to live. Attorney James Stanley saved my life. His tedious, aggressive work saved me from a life of misery.
Another great attribute about M. Stanley, is that he was relentless and has a tenacious work ethic. He explored every possible avenue of attack and defense on my case. We spoke about every possible outcome in my case whether it was good or bad. Due to his nonstop work and efforts, we were able to dissect the case and find numerous defects in the prosecution’s case. I appreciate the fact that Jim looked at every possible avenue we had. During my case and communications with Mr. Stanley, he went out of his way to have his staff reenact what happened to see if they could find anything that could be good or bad for my case. By doing this we were able to see where a jury might find certain avenues of belief or disbelief on each party. The fact that he went out of his way to do this was very comforting. It only added to the sense of comfort and confidence in his work and just showed me how much he cares about his clients. Mr. Stanley put together an amazing package of evidence and information to be presented to the courts and prosecuting attorney. Due to his efforts we were able to get my case dismissed after just one court date; this seems unheard of. Other lawyers I had spoke with about my case seemed skeptical of my story, the outcome, and me. Mr. Stanley took me in with open arms and I must repeat this; I think he saved me a life full of misery. I believe Mr. Stanley is top notch and I would recommend him to any person that ever needs a criminal defense lawyer. He will listen to you; he will give you the honest truth every step of the way even if you don’t like what you hear. You want someone who looks at the facts, someone that will use their experience to get you the best possible outcome, and that’s exactly what Mr. Stanley does. He doesn’t care about how big the payout is, he cares about you, your life, and your happiness. He will be there every step of the way to support you, guide you, and do his very best in making sure you get the best outcome possible. Words can’t really describe how good he is at what he does. He truly uses his intelligence, expertise, and experience in the art of dealing with criminal law and prosecuting attorneys. I just want to say thank you Jim. You really did save my life in so many ways, it would have taken a miracle to find success in this world as a working man if it hadn’t been for your work. Thank you."

FELONY ASSAULT CASE DISMISSED
Posted by Jessica, a criminal defense client
"I was wrongly charged with a felony assault in Jefferson county. After speaking with several attorneys, I decided to entrust James Stanley with my case. He was very thorough in our initial consultation, where he explained in detail what he would do and what I could expect during the process. I was very impressed with his extensive experience within the court system and felt confident in his ability and expertise. He was in constant communication with updates about my case and he was always very quick to reply to any of my concerns. I am so thankful that I went to James because he went above and beyond to help me during this stressful time. James was able to achieve an incredible outcome in my case and was able to get my felony Assault charge with serious bodily injury dismissed in its entirety, which is very rare in Jefferson County! This District Attorney’s office is known for its tough stance prosecutors, who will attempt to squeeze some kind of conviction out of any case, but he put together a concise and effective argument outlining the defense in my case. He took a very aggressive approach with the prosecutor assigned to my case, which resulted in this complete dismissal. James Stanley is an expert attorney and well worth the cost. I am so grateful for all his hard work, thank you!"

FELONY DUI CASE DISMISSED AND DMV CASE DISMISSED
Posted by Jerel, a witness in a criminal case
"In September of 2019 my friend was pulled over and charged with a Felony DUI and other criminal charges. Along with losing her drivers license, she was also possibly facing a prison term and her probation being revoked in another case. After consulting with several attorneys, she decided to hire James Stanley. I became involved with the case when my friend needed a witness and testimony to support the evidence of her innocence! I spoke with Mr. Stanley, and right away from the start I noticed how attentive he was to detail and how involved he was in the case. I was impressed at the urgency he put into getting information quickly and then thoroughly investigating it. Mr. Stanley is confident, professional, courteous, astute, persistent, logical and he fights for his clients! Due to his diligence and relentless pursuit of justice for my friend, her felony DUI case was dismissed and the DMV case was dismissed as well. Everything was dismissed, as if it never happened! Mr. Stanley accomplished this after just one court appearance! It was an incredible outcome- thanks to Mr. Stanley’s expertise and persistence. If you feel the odds are stacked up against you legally, and you are being treated unfairly by the court system, then hire Mr. Stanley to be your criminal attorney. You will be in good hands!"

Domestic Violence Assault Case DISMISSED
Posted by a criminal defense client
"Jim was able to achieve an extraordinary outcome in my case. To convince a prosecutor to completely dismiss a domestic violence assault case in Colorado is rare. He put together a comprehensive and compelling argument for the prosecutor, consisting of 33 pages with attachments. He contacted the main witness in the case and found discrepancies in his account to the police. He repeatedly contacted the prosecutor by phone, mail and email, presenting our case and repeating his arguments to ensure he was heard. He made it clear to the prosecutor that he would take this case to trial if it was not dismissed. Jim has a reputation with prosecutors of not backing down and taking them to trial to fight for his clients, and he put that reputation to work for me in my case.
Jim consulted with other also experienced criminal defense attorneys in his office on what tactics to use in this case and brainstorm of how to build the best defense. He brought in a second lawyer just to handle the complaining witness. The accumulation of all the efforts described above produced the best possible outcome to my case...a dismissal. On a more personal note, Jim was somehow able to help me feel at ease during the most stressful time imaginable. His communication skills are off the charts. There is no need to guess what comes next or what to expect. He even lets you know when he has received each email. I genuinely felt cared for throughout this whole process. His fee structure serves the client more than it serves him. I cannot recommend Jim highly enough."

Miracle Worker
Posted by Jeffrey, a criminal defense client
"I would like to express my deepest gratitude for Mr. James Stanley. I came to Mr. Stanley with an 11-year-old felony warrant. The charge was a class 4 felony possession, with potentially 2 to 6 years in prison, and up to half a million dollar fine. There was an added challenge that the case needed to be resolved in less than 30 days to save my current job. Mr. Stanley facilitated my felony charges being dismissed and he was able to get the case dropped to a misdemeanor. I was sentenced to 18 months probation. One court date! Immediate sentencing! No jail time! No additional fines! Out-of-state probation! An outcome unheard-of for someone who had been at-large, (missing) on a felony warrant for 11 years. A complete miracle! His knowledge and expertise created an extraordinary outcome that saved my life and my career of nine years working in the drug and alcohol treatment field. Mr. Stanley is most gifted with his ability to navigate a complex system by creating amazing submissions to the court. His legal submissions are written works of art. I can’t put into words how his phenomenal documents to the court orchestrated an unbelievable outcome that allowed me to continue my career. He is one of the most gifted and effective advocates I have ever met. I was referred to Mr. Stanley by several top attorneys that I knew in the Denver area. He is well-respected as a marvelous criminal offense attorney and miracle worker for his clients. His reviews on this website convinced me I had found the right person. His 19 year experience as a senior prosecuting attorney and 30 years practicing law are invaluable gifts. I owe my freedom and career to Mr. Stanley’s totally priceless help. He is an extraordinary attorney who treats his clients with dignity and compassion. His communication during our time working together was outstanding. If you're lucky enough to have found James Stanley, hire him. I unequivocally recommend this amazingly gifted attorney."

Mr. Stanley Gets Case Dismissed
Posted by Janice, the Relative of a Criminal Defense Client
"Mr. Stanley was awesome! I hired him to help my little sister who had a criminal charge of misdemeanor neglect. This had to do with her child who was ill. Because of the illness, the child had missed way too much school. This caused the legal/social services system to get involved. They determined this could be made into a criminal as well as civil case.
Not being sure how to hire a lawyer for this type of case, I had spoken to a few lawyers. Mr. Stanley was very articulate on what could happen and what he would do. I felt he was a good match immediately and hired him.
After the first two pretrial meetings, the DA gave notice that they were considering changing the charges to felony neglect charges.
Mr. Stanley obtained medical records, information on this disease and other medical information specific to this child. I cannot believe the volumes of information he sifted through to prove the child was not neglected and was within the realm of normal for a child of that age with that disease. Mr. Stanley's wisdom and knowledge had such an impact on the medical professionals, they willing wrote statements to further back his research on this case. He carefully went through all the police and social service reports to glean the details of their findings. All this information from the various places were skillfully combined to form his argument for dismissal.
The compelling and comprehensive argument that Mr. Stanley wrote to the DA, clearly showed that the case should be dismissed, not upgraded. I believe that based on Mr. Stanley's argument, the DA finally realized that there was insufficient evidence to prosecute my sister on any criminal charges. The DA dismissed the case the day before the trial was to begin."

Best Outcome Imaginable!
Posted by Paul, A Criminal Defense Client
"I was charged with Trespassing and Disturbing the Peace after a dispute with my hotel on a business trip. I am a business professional who found himself in jail for two days with thoughts of losing my job and my family. I had never been in trouble before so when I heard the max sentence for my cases were a year each I was mortified. I hired Jim because during his consultations I knew right off the bat he was much more strategic and calculated than most lawyers and definitely more than the two I had spoken to before him. Jim was very realistic about the case and extremely transparent of all details. His experience in the court system showed as we put together an amazing package of character letters and documents showing my attendance in counseling which resulted in the DA offering a plea deal. This plea deal was so good that I don't have any probation or community service but only have to prove that for the next six months I attended my current counselor. After the six months my case will be sealed in a non-conviction and off my record as if it never happened! On top of that he was a motion to appear in court on my behalf so I never had to return to Denver and go to court. There is no doubt in my mind that his expertise and strategically proactive approach made this impossible outcome a reality. I would recommend him to anyone who is in need of the best lawyer in Denver."

Jim Stanley Gets Felony Case Dismissed. God Bless You
Posted by mother of criminal defense client
"My son needed the assistance of Jim Stanley because of a false allegation made by a girl. He was facing Felony charges that would change this family and his life forever. There was just so much to lose, we spoke to several attorney's hiring none of them.
Jim Stanley from day one, made me feel comfortable enough to share his story without judgement and giving a real sincere feeling of concern for the life of my son. I had spoken with other attorneys, either they were vague or presumptuous, giving me a sense that they were there for the pay out and didn't truly care about the life of my son. For a mother or a family member trying to handle this not knowing anything about the law, it’s extremely stressful and feels hopeless.
Jim Stanley, took all of this away and left me with feelings of hope for the future. He's persistent and his perseverance along with his impeccable reputation as a former prosecutor himself, is what turned this case around. He wrote a 62-page argument to the DA using red and yellow color to point out what needed to be seen so it wouldn't get overlooked. Because when a case gets really big, things and details get overlooked. Not with JIM STANLEY !!!!!
He didn't send just one demand letter, he sent five. He then followed it up with voicemails and phone calls asking to speak to supervisors. He ask for exculpatory evidence, that in his experience couldn't be given. He made sure someone was listening to him. Because you see, the states DA is overrun with cases. It's easy to get shoved under a rug. NOT, with JIM STANLEY. He never gave up or gave in..If you are your loved one needs the help of a Professional Legal team to FIGHT for them...LOOK no further. Even if your case looks unbelievably bad.
My son failed to appear, jumped bond and left the state. This case was a Domestic violence felony assault case. Even if the original charges were dismissed another felony could have been added because he left the state. JIM STANLEY and Team is your team!!!
They got the case COMPLETELY DISMISSED IN IT'S ENTIRETY !!!!
I pray in Jesus name that we never need Jim Stanley for anything else. This was a five-year fight for us across three states.
God Bless you Jim Stanley"

Like it Never Happened...Jim is the Man
Posted by JR, a criminal defense client
"Let me start by saying that what I did was completely indefensible, yet somehow Jim found a way to defend me admirably. I made an honest mistake, and before I knew it, I was charged with a crime that could have taken away my hopes and dreams and goals I've worked so hard for. This thing I was charged with is a big deal...in my case especially if you dream of owning a business in the alcohol, brewing, or distilling industry...I was not ready to give up my dreams because of this admittedly boneheaded mistake I made. Jim is a great guy, and also happens to be a highly skilled and strategic attorney with 35 years' experience. The thing that attracted me to Jim is the fact that he was once a lead prosecutor. I feel like he understands the inner workings of the district attorney's office like the back of his hand, and I suspect he also has the respect of the DA's office...he is not your typical defense attorney. This experience gives him unique insight into how a team of prosecutors operates, and from this insight and hard work he is able to create opportunity. He is absolutely relentless in his pursuit of the 'Best Possible Outcome'...he told me on our first meeting that he did not yet know what this was, but that he would find a way to make it happen. He did his homework; he left no stone unturned. My case will be sealed upon my completion of community service and I will never have to admit being charged with a crime. Unbelievable. Best Possible Outcome? I think even better than he or I could have imagined...and for this I will be forever grateful! Jim is a compassionate and understanding guy...I feel like he genuinely cares about protecting his clients futures. If you are reading this and you need someone to help...look no further...Jim Stanley is your man. You will not find a better defense attorney...trust Jim when your freedom and your future is at stake. Call him now, you'll be thankful you did!"

Professional, Sincere, Awesome, Blessed to Find Mr. Stanley
Posted by James, a criminal defense client
"To start off I need to say this was one of the best experiences I had with an attorney ever. I met with a good amount of different attorneys before choosing Mr. Stanley. Out of everyone I talked to, Mr. Stanley was the most professional, sincere and hands down the most educated. He was exceptional with everything down to the smallest detail. I went from a pretty high-end felony which is the only one iv ever had in my entire life because I made a mistake and he worked endlessly and tirelessly to achieve a better deal. Mr. Stanley was able to go up the chain of command in the District Attorney's Office directly to the supervisor of the DA assigned to the case. Something that is not normally done. He was able to meet with them personally and talk to them to get a better result. He took my Felony and worked it into a deferred sentence with the felony being completely dismissed and me left with a Petty Offense and Disorderly Conduct on my record. Without Mr. Stanley I would be in a very bad situation. He gave me a second chance that I don't think anyone else would have been able to pull off and for this I am so thankful. You have to understand he knows law, he knows how it works and the ins and outs like no one iv ever spoke to. He is one of the finest attorneys I was blessed enough to find. Thank you Jim Stanley. You really are awesome. I have nothing but good things to say and I can't put into words how thankful I am."
Professional, Sincere, Awesome, Blessed to Find Mr. Stanley
Posted by James, a criminal defense client
"To start off I need to say this was one of the best experiences I had with an attorney ever. I met with a good amount of different attorneys before choosing Mr. Stanley. Out of everyone I talked to, Mr. Stanley was the most professional, sincere and hands down the most educated. He was exceptional with everything down to the smallest detail. I went from a pretty high-end felony which is the only one iv ever had in my entire life because I made a mistake and he worked endlessly and tirelessly to achieve a better deal. Mr. Stanley was able to go up the chain of command in the District Attorney's Office directly to the supervisor of the DA assigned to the case. Something that is not normally done. He was able to meet with them personally and talk to them to get a better result. He took my Felony and worked it into a deferred sentence with the felony being completely dismissed and me left with a Petty Offense and Disorderly Conduct on my record. Without Mr. Stanley I would be in a very bad situation. He gave me a second chance that I don't think anyone else would have been able to pull off and for this I am so thankful. You have to understand he knows law, he knows how it works and the ins and outs like no one iv ever spoke to. He is one of the finest attorneys I was blessed enough to find. Thank you Jim Stanley.

Felony Assault Case Dismissed
Posted by Jason, A Criminal Defense Client
"Mr. Stanley was able to achieve an unbelievable outcome in my case. I was charged with Felony Assault and was facing, not only prison, but my life ruined and my dreams shattered. Who would trust a felon's dream to build a school aimed at coaching and mentoring young minds in how to effectively pursue their Why in order to achieve their greatest dreams for the world? Mr. Stanley chose to believe in me, and to him, I owe the opportunity to pursue my Why and to create my burning dream. Mr. Stanley spent several months arguing and providing detailed presentations and interpretations of the facts to the prosecutor in my case. All of his incredible efforts bore fruit - he fully convinced the prosecutor to dismiss my case in its entirety. A complete dismissal of a Felony Assault case is very rare, unheard-of, in Jefferson County. Mr. Stanley spent many, many hours compiling witness statements, preparing sworn affidavits, preparing written arguments, preparing PowerPoint presentations and repeatedly, relentlessly calling the prosecutor assigned to my case. Mr. Stanley submitted over 100 pages of arguments and information to the prosecutor. Mr. Stanley called the prosecutor every week to follow up and make sure he was receiving and reviewing the volumes of material sent. Mr. Stanley followed up on every correspondence to the prosecutor with an email, a written letter, and a fax, and would continue to follow up until he got a reply. Finally, when the court proceeding got to the point Mr. Stanley was going to push for a jury trial, my case was completely dismissed. Mr. Stanley is relentless in his effort and he gets results. I am so thankful for Mr. Stanley. Thank you so much. This dismissal is a dream come true through relentless effort and a pursuit of victory."

Felony DUI Case Dismissed In Entirety, Amazing!
Posted by a criminal defense client
"In September of 2019 I was pulled over and charged with a Felony DUI and other criminal charges. I was facing a prison term and my probation being revoked in another case I had pending. One of the first attorney's I consulted with seemed very skeptical of my story and before reviewing the evidence, told me I would spend at least a year if not more in jail. Needless to say, I was very scared and thought my life and career was over! After reviewing online Mr. Stanley's profile of experience and client reviews, I decided to contact him. He returned my call immediately, and after meeting with Mr. Stanley and experiencing his professionalism, intelligence, honesty, and candor. I knew I had found the right attorney that could handle my extremely difficult and complicated case, that could potentially affect my whole life! His communication during this extremely stressful time was outstanding! He made sure I knew everything. He returned and responded to every email, voicemail, and sent all communications and discovery immediately to me. This created a comforting and trustful relationship, which I needed. Mr. Stanley spent weeks, over 50 hours going over every inch of my case, including viewing the body camera over and over again, looking for any possible defect in my case. He put together a comprehensive presentation using video production software for the sole purpose of influencing the District Attorney to agree with his positions. He mailed a thick packet to the DA that included a CD and a flash drive of his presentation. He mailed this packet at least five times and paid for USPS tracking, so that he would know the moment his correspondence arrived at the DA's Office. Then he would follow up with a phone call to the DA and leave him a fifteen minute voicemail, explaining all the defects he found in the case. I believe that this aggressive and relentless contacting of the DA is why he was able to achieve this radical decision to dismiss this case at such an early stage, after just one court appearance! I was prepared for the case to be set for trial, costing thousands of dollars more in attorney's fees and more stress! The case could have easily drug on for five or more months until the eve of the trial, when the pressure is at the highest for the prosecutor! Instead, Mr. Stanley convinced the prosecutor to dismiss all charges in my case, the Judge agreed and my case was dismissed in it's entirety. I've been told by very experienced lawyers that this is a very rare accomplishment in the Colorado criminal justice system. A fantastic and unbelievable outcome due to Mr. Stanley's non-stop work and tenacious efforts in my case. I owe my life, freedom and career to Mr. Stanley's gifted, talented and wonderful qualities as a human being."

Jim Stanley’s Work Ethic, Knowledge & Professionalism is Incredible
Posted by mother of criminal defense client
"Jim Stanley recently represented my young adult son in a case involving serious traffic violations resulting from a single-car accident. The violations included careless driving, failure to call police, leaving the scene of an accident, and abandoning a disabled vehicle. The ticket totaled 28 points, might have cost my son his license and even had the possibility of incurring jail time. When we hired Jim, he set out a series of steps for my son to follow, including getting character letters and taking a defensive driving class. My son followed all instructions from Jim and responded immediately to requests from Jim over the course of the case. Jim clearly understands the actions his clients need to follow in order to achieve best results because the outcome of my son's case was exceptional. Prior to my son's court date, Jim spoke to the DA personally and convinced her to dismiss the two most serious violations. My son ended up with just a 4 point careless driving ticket and was only assessed a fine and court fees-- a result that we didn't think was possible. From the day we hired Jim he was direct, transparent and extremely organized in his approach to my son's defense. Jim is strong in communication and updated my son regularly when new information was available. He also responded quickly to any and all questions my son had regarding his case. Jim is a straight-forward lawyer and clearly has high expectations for himself. He also expects his clients to follow through, meet deadlines and do their part, as well. I highly recommend Jim and whole-heartedly believe he was able to get the best possible result in my son's case. His work ethic, knowledge and professionalism is incredible. Jim totally exceeded my expectations, and I am so grateful to him on my son's behalf."

Mr. Stanley Convinced DA to Dismiss My Case
Posted by Jill, a criminal defense client
"I had the best and happiest outcome to my case involving my arrest on a domestic violence charge, because I hired attorney James Stanley. It was due to choosing James Stanley as my attorney that I had such a good outcome. Mr. Stanley convinced the District Attorney and the judge that I acted in self-defense and my case was dismissed. But it could have gone another way. And of the many steps in the unfolding of the legal process, if Mr. Stanley's efforts and talents had not been there, I could not have hoped for the same level of success. In my case, Mr. Stanley called the District Attorney assigned to my case repeatedly. Mr. Stanley hand delivered to the DA, a twenty-eight-page argument with photos, attachments and a video. Mr. Stanley filed numerous motions with the Court and he demanded items of missing evidence. Mr. Stanley was relentless in pursuing every avenue toward getting the best possible outcome for me. Look no further for a great attorney, because Mr. Stanley is deeply knowledgeable of the full range of legal procedures and statutes that can protect your best interests. Mr. Stanley has decades of experience in navigating the complex legal territory you will find yourself in. Having a good attorney is centrally important toward getting a best outcome. Mr. Stanley has tenacious legal instincts, and he will go the extra mile for you, and above and beyond, in order to pursue a strong legal position for you."

"Jim Stanley is the man! If you are so unfortunate to find yourself on the wrong side of the law (I was falsely accused of felony menacing while I was acting in self-defense by Jeffco Sheriff’s deputies) This and the other made-up charges would have ended my career and life as I know it! Jim was able to sort through the evidence, carefully put together a very comprehensive package to the DA's office and get me a complete dismissal! This is unheard of! Because of Jim's long-standing relationships that he has made in the DA's office and within the court system he was able to achieve the impossible. Jim was very thoughtful and compassionate with me through this very stressful time in my life. He is very responsive to phone calls and emails. He advocated for me every step of the way. I literally never stepped foot inside of a court room. Jim will fight for you and get you the best possible outcome for your case! If you need legal counsel, do yourself a favor and Jim! I am forever in his debt,

Sincere, Understanding, Knowledgable, Higly Recommend Jim Stanley

"BEST ATTORNEY! You're the most blessed and luckiest person ever to find Mr. Jim Stanley. I spoke to several attorneys before contacting Mr. Stanley. He was the only person who showed me sympathy, was sincere and willing to help me. Just from the initial conversation, my gut was telling me that Mr. Stanley will help me. He is very understanding, competent, knowledgeable and respectable attorney. He has great communication, very responsive and answered all of my worries and questions. My case could not have been in any better hands than Mr. Stanley. No words can express my gratitude towards Mr. Stanley. I had a very difficult criminal case. I thought I was going to have some type of conviction because of the facts of my case. But not so with Mr. Stanley. He worked so hard on my case and was able to achieve such an amazing result. He identified my hardships and circumstances and presented a comprehensive mitigation argument for the DA. In fact, my case will be dropped and sealed in a very short period of time, and I did not have to enter any type of plea at all. Once my case is completed I will not have any conviction at all. My case will be completely dismissed. I still cannot believe that this is real. I am so, so grateful to Mr. Stanley for saving me and giving me a second chance in this life.
I highly recommend Mr. Stanley !"

Exceptional Legal Prowess & Dedication-Remarkable Result
Posted by Robert, a criminal defense client
"I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional outcome achieved in my case. I faced a challenging situation, with the victim desiring prosecution, which made the path to success seemingly improbable. However, with unwavering dedication, my attorney, Jim, went above and beyond to secure a remarkable result.
My case will be entirely dismissed and sealed. This outcome reflects not only the attorney's legal prowess but also their commitment to their clients' well-being. They meticulously prepared a compelling mitigation argument for the District Attorney, complete with compelling video presentations. What truly set them apart was their unrelenting pursuit of justice. They persistently engaged with the assigned prosecutor, presenting additional arguments until the desired outcome was achieved.
Jim displayed an exceptional level of dedication, legal expertise, and relentless advocacy that turned the tide in my case. I am eternally grateful for their outstanding efforts, which have paved the way for a brighter future."

Not only has he given me a new lease on life, he’s shown me that he takes just as much pride in his job as I do. You’re not another number to this man, please believe that. He is one of the most diligent and selfless people I’ve met in my life. He genuinely cares about his clients and will go above and beyond to make sure you are treated like a human being.

Firearm Case Dismissed in Three Months

"It’s hard write a review and come across as genuine, but when I say that Mr. Stanley saved not only my life, but also my families; I am not being disingenuous. Rather than botch up my review, I will provide the basic facts. I was charged with an offense involving a firearm. Any case involving a firearm is a priority with the Denver Court system, and Mr. Stanley was able to get the case dismissed within a few months, and I never had to go to court. Let me state that again, Mr. Stanley got my case dismissed within a few months! More specifically it is a delayed dismissal. This is no easy task, and the fact that it was achieved in such a short time frame is nothing to deride. Denver prosecutors have stringent directives to take a firm position on these cases. Mr. Stanley was able to communicate my case and facts, convincing the prosecutor for a delayed dismissal. Mr. Stanley communicated with me during every phase of the case, providing updates when they materialized, and re-assuring me when I was extremely stressed. He would assign me task to provide documents or letters, and would contact me right away if and when I had questions. I was overly captivated with the determination and investigation that Mr. Stanley demonstrated in my case. In addition to these labors, he did a lot of mitigation work with the prosecutor. Not only was he able to locate a case that was similar in facts, but also this case helped Mr. Stanley construct an argument that established the difficulty in proving this case. Simply put, Mr. Stanley is second to none and I have a high respect for him. I highly recommend him, especially with his background. As I said from the start, he saved my life."

He doggedly pursued my case with the DA's office, highlighting all of the inconsistencies in the complaining witness statements, as well as uncovering every flaw in the case by going over every aspect of the investigation and reporting by law enforcement. In addition, Mr. Stanley demonstrated a vast amount of patience with me, as I had never been in any sort of legal trouble, whatsoever, and had an endless number of questions.

Best Lawyer You Can Hire in Jefferson County
Posted by Rebe, a criminal defense client
"Mr. Stanley represented my adult son on two felony assault charges and a harassment misdemeanor charge all received in Jefferson County. After reviewing backgrounds on several lawyers my son decided to hire Mr. Stanley as the lawyer to represent him. That was the best decision he has ever made!
The facts of the charges were not in my son’s favor. Despite the obstacles Mr. Stanley managed to defend him to the District Attorney resulting in a plea agreement of a deferred judgment (and probation), which means the felonies will be dismissed in two years. My son will be able to continue his life without any felony convictions.
The strategy Mr. Stanley used was to present both District Attorneys with a well written and convincing narrative utilizing character reference letters for my son from his friends, counselors and family that know him best and could vouch for his personal character and non-violent personality. Mr. Stanley then contacted the two different Deputy DAs assigned to each case and went over and over his argument to give my son a break. I don’t have any criminal case experience except from books I’ve read and movies I’ve seen. But this strategy seemed to get my son’s background and personal character in front of the District Attorneys and helped explaining why he/she might consider giving my son a second chance to redeem himself for the charges.
In addition, because Mr. Stanley convinced the DA in the harassment case to allow a lower-level misdemeanor and dismiss the original higher misdemeanor, my son may eventually be able to seal the record on the entire case. Mr. Stanley was able to secure my son a great outcome in both cases. I highly recommend him as possibly the best lawyer you could hire in Jefferson County for criminal representation."

Case Dismissed. Absolutely Recommend Attorney Jim Stanley
Posted by a criminal defense client
“Jim Stanley was able to achieve an outstanding outcome in my case; he invested time and energy before our first court date, preparing written, audio, and video presentations of evidence (or lack thereof) and ultimately convinced the prosecution (DA) to completely dismiss the case without having to go to trial.
There were NO conditions or requirements on my part and NO plea of any kind was required. The case was dismissed due to Jim’s hard work and his ability to get a wise DA to listen and consider the facts Jim presented.
Jim has many valuable years of experience and knows how prosecutors think, how they analyze a case, and what it takes to convince them there are problems with their case.
Even when my case was handed off to a new prosecutor, prior to our court date, Jim did not hesitate to invest time tracking down the prosecutors assigned to my case and to meet with them in person, at no additional cost to me.
Jim is thoughtful in his approach and interactions; I appreciate how he gave consideration to what (and when) he presented materials to the prosecution, and he did so in a way where the info was digestible and helpful so they could make an informed decision to drop the case. He timed the delivery of multiple written presentations he prepared and provided to the prosecutor, so as to not overwhelm him with too much information.
All Jim’s work and knowledge led to getting the case dismissed. (That is extremely rare- to get a domestic violence case completely dismissed in Jefferson or Gilpin County without having to go to trial.)
Jim’s fees are very reasonable- especially in light of the extensive work he does, the time he invests (working on weekends too!) and his network of contacts and resources. His work up-front on my case helped me avoid the headache and horror of going to trial AND it saved me from paying the added expenses for that process.
I cannot say enough good things about the work Jim did and the results he got for this case. I’d absolutely and without hesitation recommend Jim to friends and family, should they ever need his services.”
Case Dismissed. Absolutely Recommend Attorney Jim Stanley
Posted by a criminal defense client
“Jim Stanley was able to achieve an outstanding outcome in my case; he invested time and energy before our first court date, preparing written, audio, and video presentations of evidence (or lack thereof) and ultimately convinced the prosecution (DA) to completely dismiss the case without having to go to trial.
There were NO conditions or requirements on my part and NO plea of any kind was required. The case was dismissed due to Jim’s hard work and his ability to get a wise DA to listen and consider the facts Jim presented.

Truly Grateful for Mr. Stanley’s Hard Work & Dedication
Posted by Eric, a criminal defense client
"I don’t often write reviews, but I feel that it’s my duty to recommend Mr. Stanley to anyone who needs counsel for their criminal case. He truly went above and beyond to achieve an exceptional outcome in my case. Not only did he get the charges reduced, I will avoid any conviction at all. My case will be dismissed in 12 months. There was no punishment, no fines, no supervision required at all. I was able to just walk out of court and go home. In 12 months I can completely seal the record of this case, so no member of the public will ever know it existed. He was able to accomplish this by compiling and presenting a lengthy mitigation argument to the DA, and then reaching out to her repeatedly, even on her vacation. I am truly grateful for Mr. Stanley’s hard work and dedication. He has given me a second chance to live a full and happy life."

Highly Recommend Jim Stanley, Exceptional Outcome
Posted by Chad, father of criminal defense client
"Mr. Stanley was able to achieve an exceptional outcome for my daughter’s case. She was charged with a Class 1 Traffic Misdemeanor and in the eyes of the DA the case is aggravated, with an accident and multiple people injured . The DA’s Office initially was not going to reduce the charge from the original charge, Careless Driving with injury, except to just remove the “injury” aspect, which would have reduced the possible jail time, but would still be a Misdemeanor with potential jail time. Mr. Stanley prepared an extensive written argument for the District Attorney to provide a solid basis for them to go against their office policy. On my daughter's court date, Mr. Stanley took control and engaged the Deputy DA handling the case at court so he could explain face to face why my daughter should be given special treatment. It worked. Measured aggression deployed at the right time paid off. My daughter went from a serious traffic misdemeanor with potential jail to a low traffic infraction with no punishment whatsoever, not even a fine. I highly recommend Jim Stanley."

I Would Hire Again in a Heartbeat
Posted by Eric, a criminal defense client
"Jim is simply the best. I was looking at a certain (felony) probation violation for getting a new charge while on probation out of another state. Jim worked VERY HARD for me to get the best possible outcome for my case. The odds were definitely stacked against me. Jim stayed on top of the DA and when push came to shove, he was able to get me out on top in the situation. He fought to get me an unprecedented and highly unlikely outcome, which he achieved. He performed above and beyond my expectations. I didn't get totally off but he got me a once in a lifetime judgment that kept me out of jail and did not violate my probation. I have wasted a fair amount of money on lawyers in the past with bad outcomes. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Jim or his partner. Money that was unfortunately well spent!"

Rare Knowledge of the Legal System
Posted by a criminal defense client
"I contacted Mr. Stanley after an incident occurred that resulted in me being charged with a Felony. This Felony had the potential to end my career. I followed Jim’s counsel and trusted in his experience; Because of his diligent communication with the DA and presentation of the facts, he was able to get the Felony charge dismissed, and I was allowed to plea to a low-level Misdemeanor.
His dedication to my case was remarkable. I would not trust my freedom to any other Attorney. He is thoughtful, understanding, attentive, and possesses a rare knowledge of the legal system. His insight into the practices of DA’s offices allows him to craft an unmatched defense. I truly, cannot say enough good things about Mr. Stanley."

DUI Case Dismissed Completely
Posted by a DUI client
"One of the best decisions I’ve ever made was to hire Mr. Stanley and put my case in his competent hands. Not only did he get all charges dismissed, he did so with the utmost care, compassion, and professionalism. Mr. Stanley’s aggressive and thorough handling of all aspects of my case, which included unforeseen complications such as delays due to court closures and a falsely issued license recollection, brought me hope and confidence in the midst of a stressful and frightening time. He went above and beyond to gather and present the copious amounts of evidence, continually worked the DA to point out weaknesses in the case against me, and even threatened to go to trial. This strategy, coupled with his reputation as an excellent attorney in the court room resulted in a complete dismissal. Throughout what could have been a difficult process, Mr. Stanley kept me well informed of his progress and updates to the case. He was available at all hours and was always clear and informative in his communication. I had complete confidence in him and his ability from my initial consultation through to the end. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Stanley to anyone requiring legal services. If you want someone who is experienced, meticulous, and professional and will aggressively and compassionately defend you, Mr. Stanley is the perfect choice."

"Without the help of Jim Stanley, I know that my son would have not had the successful outcome that was achieved. Mr. Stanley took on an extremely difficult case and encountered issues that no one expected which turned into four cases in four different court systems in Colorado. He worked tirelessly to make sure that the truth was told and presented it perfectly. He has stood by every one of my requests and guided my son and I through the entire lengthy process. Though we faced challenges, Mr. Stanley did not falter. His thorough research provided us the pathway we needed to get my son's cases diminished to probation in all cases. Mr. Stanley treated us with respect and was a calming and confident presence during a very difficult court process. I very much appreciate the knowledge and support I received through Mr. Stanley's guidance. Highly recommended!!"

Felony Charges Dropped To A Single Misdemeanor

"Words cannot describe my gratitude I have for Mr. Stanley and the services he provided. The circumstances in which even led me to find him and hire him where nothing short of guidance from God. I'm truly grateful for the way everything went and the professionalism advice and guidance in which Mr. Stanley provided throughout the whole process. Mr. Stanley was more than fair in his pricing for the services he provided. I avoided jail time, and was able to move back in with my family in a fairly short amount of time considering the charges I was up against in the beginning.

"I came to Mr Stanley with a DF1 and DF3. Facing a mandatory 8 years in prison. After meeting Mr Stanley for the first time, I knew he would be the one to handle my case. His initial consultation left me feeling positively optimistic. It took many months of working with the courts and the DA before my case would be done. Mr Stanley kept me posted every step of the way. He was present every time I had court dates and always sent reminders before the dates. He guided me through all the steps necessary for my outcome. Any time something happened, Mr Stanley would be first to call and email the details. Even on the weekends. Ive dealt with other attorneys, not related to criminal matters; Ive never experienced that type of service before. He truly cares about your case and his efforts clearly show an experienced attorney. In the end, my charge was reduced to a DF4 with no jail time, and only 18 months of probation! My family and I cannot thank Mr Stanley enough. I did not believe this would be the outcome. I am so happy I can go on living my life with my daughter. Thank you again Mr Stanley!"

Phenomenal Lawyer, and Even Greater Man
Posted by Marinna, a DUI client
"Words cannot express how truly pleased I am after working with Jim. I came to him with a DUI charge and after months of tireless, detailed work, Jim was able to get the charges down to reckless driving—an extremely rare outcome in Jefferson County.
When all this started, it was important to me to hire an attorney who saw me not just as another paycheck, but as an individual with a unique case. I had called several other attorneys, but it was only after speaking with James that I felt seen and heard. He asked very detailed questions, and I never felt judged for bringing an unfortunate situation to him—it truly felt like he wanted to help me and that he saw me as more than my charges. When we first spoke, he told me he couldn't guarantee a win, but he could guarantee the best possible outcome. It was this sentiment that really made me want to work with him; he said promising a guaranteed win was a truly immoral thing to say to a client; despite all his accolades and years of experience, it was that sentiment that solidified him as a good man. How true his sentiment was. I firmly believe I couldn't have gotten the outcome I did without Jim. He was there for me every step of the way and constantly kept me updated with what he was doing and the status of my case. He repeatedly kept in contact with the prosecutor assigned to my case, he cross-examined the police officer during one hearing so well that he was able to catch the officer in a lie and as a result kept repeatedly contacting police supervisors over such deception. Everything he did was integral to the outcome—he left no detail unexamined, and he did it all with humility and confidence and great great care. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending James Stanley to others. He is a phenomenally talented lawyer and an even greater man. I am so so thankful for the outcome—I will never be able to fully express my gratitude for his work."

Posted by Mikayla, a criminal defense client
"There are no words to express how thankful I am to have had Jim Stanley represent me during the most stressful time in my life. He was able to achieve an exceptional outcome in my case. With his hard work and diligence, he was surprisingly able to convince the prosecutor to completely dismiss my case which is EXTREMELY rare given the nature of the charge against me.
My dismissal required absolutely no conditions, requirements, or plea of any kind-- the case was just dismissed.
Jim went above and beyond by preparing multiple extensive written and video presentations for the prosecutor (over 100 pages in length) to review. He made sure the prosecutor took the time to review these presentations before my court date by emailing AND physically mailing them to her office, as well as calling her on a weekly basis to ensure she made my case a priority.
While doing all of this, he was also in contact with me on a regular basis keeping me up to date. Knowing he was working diligently on my case helped ease my anxiety tremendously. His knowledge, expertise, experience, and unwavering persistence is what led to my case being dismissed without me having to go through the stress and financial burden of a jury trial. To get a complete dismissed without a trial on a charge like mine is extremely rare and almost unheard of.
The implications that would have come from anything more than a dismissal (even a deferment) would have truly ruined my career which holds the upmost importance to me. Again, I am eternally grateful for Jim's hard work and ability to achieve the absolute best possible outcome in my case."

Amazing Man, Amanzing Lawyer, Amazing Outcome-Hire this Guy!!
Posted by mother of criminal defense client
"Wow, where do I start? Jim is an amazing human being and an EXCELLENT Attorney. I hired Jim to represent my adult Son who was charged with three Felony Trespass and and a Theft violation. Jim was very thoughtful in assessing the situation, asking questions, and determining that my Son was not a "bad guy" but rather an immature young man who made a seriously bad choice to enter some unlocked vehicles and take minor items. Jim was able to negotiate a deferred judgement down to ONLY one Felony, subject to completing 2 years of supervised probation in the Jeffco Diversion Program, for first time offenders. This means that after successfully completing the 2 years of supervision, my Son can request the Courts seal this record as if it did not occur!!
Unfortunately, only two weeks following the judgement on this case, my Son made yet another bad decision and was charged with a DUI. Jim's advise to my Son was spot on and paved the way for Jim to negotiate with the DA and Diversion to retain supervision within the Diversion Program and the deferred judgement on the Felony charge, with a plea to DWAI.
At times, I questioned if my Son was going to put forth the effort needed to create the ideal situation and outcome but Jim (God Bless him!!) pushed my Son like a Father would and was able to light a fire under him to do his absolute best to redirect himself on to a better path. Jim spent a lot of time collecting letters from family and close friends and documentation of areas of completion and success that my Son was achieving in the Program. He then wrote many letters to the DA's and Diversion updating them on his progress and imploring with them to consider his prior clean record and progress within the Program to allow him to remain in the Diversion Program with the original deferred judgement. Throughout this long process, Jim was very communicative and always made himself available to answer our questions and give us more direction when we needed it. He even gave us reminders before every court date.
I can't thank Jim enough for the miracle outcome that he was able to obtain for my Son! I highly recommend Jim, you will not be disappointed, he is a consummate Professional and a very caring human being."

I 100% Recommend Attorney Jim Stanley
Posted by Jaimie, a criminal defense client
"Jim was able to achieve an exceptional outcome in my case. While it was just my first DUI charge, I had a high BAC (.17). Jim was able to help me get my DMV case dismissed and convince the DA to have my DUI charge reduced to a DWAI, allowing me to keep my driver’s license with no revocation or suspension. The reduction to a DWAI is usually unheard of with the BAC level I had. I received no jail, no fine and the minimum period of probation (12 mo). Overall I was very happy with the work Jim did on my case - he was in constant communication with me through every step, responsive to my emails, and very knowledgeable and on top of everything that needed to be done. I would 100% recommend him as your lawyer if you find yourself in this position."

Case Dismissed! So Thankful!
Posted by Tess, a DUI client
"Thanks to Mr. Stanley, my DUI case was dismissed! James did his research and truly helped me out. He submitted a lengthy written argument to the prosecutor, supported by exhibits, photos and video stating why my case should be dismissed. James used his expertise as a lawyer and former DA to win my case (via dismissal) and saved my drivers license and me from further DUI costs such as interlock installation, SR-22 insurance and probation. I am so grateful. Thank you, James."

He submitted a lengthy written argument to the prosecutor, supported by exhibits, photos and video stating why my case should be dismissed. James used his expertise as a lawyer and former DA to win my case (via dismissal) and saved my drivers license and me from further DUI costs such as interlock installation, SR-22 insurance and probation. I am so grateful. Thank you, James."
You Will Be Glad if You Chose Mr. Stanley
Posted by Susan, the mother of a criminal defense client
"Very recently our family needed the services of a competent lawyer. Mr. Jim Stanley offered such services. Mr. Stanley was in constant contact with us regarding our case. If we ever needed clarification regarding our case, Mr. Stanley returned our phone calls right away. He was diligent in his effort to connect with the DA in this case. It was through his persistence that he was able to speak to the DA who did not always respond to Mr. Stanley's calls. He persevered, and after four re-schedules of our case, Mr. Stanley succeeded. He was able to get the best outcome for our son and we are pleased with the results. I would highly recommend Mr. Stanley in times of family crisis. This event has been difficult for our entire family but Mr. Stanley persevered and got us the best outcome for our son. Do not hesitate if you or a friend need the competent services of an experienced lawyer. You will be glad you chose Mr. Stanley. I know our family did.

Hard working, great attorney!
Posted by Jeff, a criminal defense client
"James Stanley got an amazing outcome in my case. I faced two felony menacing charges. With Jim’s advice and counsel, the charges were dropped to a misdemeanor with a deferred sentence. Jim worked tirelessly to reach this result. I hope to never need his help again but there’s no one else I would turn to or recommend."

CHILD ABUSE CASE COMPLETELY DISMISSED
Posted by a criminal defense client
"The case against me for Child Abuse has been completely dismissed. I was charged with Child Abuse and not having proper seating for my grandchildren while driving my pickup truck with my wife and three grandchildren in the bed of the pickup. The charge of Child Abuse was devastating to me and I sought the help of an attorney. I interviewed two other attorneys and then talked to Mr. Stanley, who had come recommended by an attorney friend of my daughter. While interviewing Mr Stanley I was impressed with his candor and knowledge. He is a straight shooter. Mr Stanley helped us initially by recommending that I supply Character Letters from my family, friends, church friends and neighbors. Mr Stanley presented those letters to the DA's office and they were helpful to the case. He also monitored the District Attorney's office to see who would be assigned the case and then got an extension of the appearance date to build the defense of my case. Mr. Stanley kept in touch with me and kept me informed as the case progressed. During this time of the COVID-19 pandemic, he was able to handle all aspects of the case remotely, which was very much appreciated since I am 77 years old. I am extremely thankful for Mr Stanley's knowledge and his understanding. He clearly knows the Jefferson County District Attorney's office practices and I'm sure that was helpful in obtaining the dismissal. Thank you."

Professional & Hard-Working
Posted by Madhu, a criminal defense client
"After researching a bunch of attorneys in the Denver area, I decided to go with Jim Stanley. I was charged with a DUI and careless driving. I also provided the officers a blood sample, which was no doubt going to be a high level. In the state of Colorado, a high blood alcohol level means I was facing a mandatory jail sentence. While it looked like all the evidence was against me, Jim was very attentive and methodical with my case. He filed all motions in time and also did not make me fly to Denver a single time, since I live in NY state. He is extremely hard working and was able to put an amazing packet for the DA that contained my character letters and other information. Somehow, Jim was able to work his magic and by constantly contacting the District Attorney, he convinced the DA to give me a plea deal without waiting for the test results, which is unheard of. I was able to plea down to DWAI and the other charges were dropped-dismissed- as well. Jim Stanley was very professional and made sure that the judge had plenty of time to review the packet (character letters etc) he put on my behalf. Additionally, I also had to pay no fines. And all of this was done in one court appearance. I would definitely recommend attorney Jim Stanley if you are charged with any type of crime."

Extremely Competent, Resourceful & Responsive
Posted by NB, a criminal defense client
"I am beyond thankful that I had Jim on my side!!! Jim was extremely competent, resourceful, and responsive. He also did not "sugar coat" anything, which I greatly appreciated. The facts in my case were aggravated and because I had a prior, I was facing a jail sentence and a significant fine. Jim was a miracle worker! He was able to get 3 of the 4 charges dropped before my arraignment. In addition, through exceptional preparation of a memorandum with attachments and updates, sent to the judge prior to my sentencing, Jim achieved amazing results... No jail time, no fine and he was able to convince the judge to reduce probation, from the normal 24 months to 18 months!"

Incredible Outcome-Highly Recommend

“Jim represented my husband in a case in Jefferson County. He really followed through. Jim was looking for a better outcome than what my husband was hoping for. Through Jim's guidance and instructions, we were able to achieve an incredible outcome that could only be surpassed by a complete dismissal. He stood by us after court and walk us through the small details of what needed to be taken care of properly. We spoke with Jim a week later, at 5 pm, with issues from the court and he had answers by the next morning. He is professional and proficient. We would highly recommend him if you're in need of a lawyer.”

I’m a contractor and I see hard workers every day. Jim has the work ethic of someone I would hire on the spot. Not only has he given me a new lease on life, he’s shown me that he takes just as much pride in his job as I do. You’re not another number to this man, please believe that. He is one of the most diligent and selfless people I’ve met in my life. He genuinely cares about his clients and will go above and beyond to make sure you are treated like a human being. There’s no point in hiring someone else in my opinion. I will forever refer (I hope I don’t have too) Jim to anyone and everyone I know that is in a rough spot."

"I found James F. Stanley online, I looked at several different attorneys and read there reviews, he immediately stood out. I contacted his office late Friday afternoon and Jim immediately responded Saturday morning. I was shocked that he took time out of his weekend to get the ball rolling. He hit the ground running; he was very thorough with asking questions about my case. Jim answered all of the questions that I had. He then set me on a path to better myself and the outcome of my upcoming court case. Jim was very responsive throughout the entire process and provided me with everything I needed. He was able to achieve an exceptional outcome in my case. I started the case with four charges, including DUI and Driving Without Insurance, both serious charges that carry a jail sentence. With a high BAC (blood alcohol level), the District Attorney in Jefferson County Never dismisses the DUI and usually recommends a jail sentence. He was able to convince the DA to go against their office policy and dismiss the DUI and not only that but convinced the DA to dismiss the Driving Without Insurance charge as well! The end result was one count, the lowest alcohol offense with no jail. Awesome outcome! I highly recommend his services!!"

"My adult son was recently facing several serious legal charges. I reached out to a family friend that is in the legal profession for advice on who to hire to represent my son. Jim Stanley came highly recommended by the senior partner in my friends practice.
I have dealt with a number of corporate and criminal attorneys over the years. Jim Stanley is the best attorney that I have worked with. He is extremely thorough and takes a highly disciplined approach to preparing for the case. He takes the time to explain every aspect of the legal issue, its impact to the client and the best course of action to take. He is very accessible and follows through on all details. Jim brings his extensive experience as a former prosecutor to bear and is very effective at navigating the complex court system. Jim dedicated a tremendous amount of effort to my son’s case and was able to achieve a remarkable outcome. I can, without reservation, highly recommend him as an attorney."

Assault Charge in Clear Creek County Dismissed
Posted by Don, a Criminal Defense Client
"Jim, thank you again for your help with my case here in Clear Creek County. Without your expert help I likely could have expected a different outcome. As you know I give my wife credit for finding you as she did the research on attorneys while I was recovering those first few days. I am so glad she found you and that you had the time and the interest in representing me. Jim scheduled an appointment for me to come in and spent about 2 hours with me initially to get the details of the case. I was impressed with how thorough he was in getting as much information as he did in that first encounter. The assault charge stemmed from an altercation that would have been better avoided in the first case but that did not happen. Jim asked me many questions about the nature of this unfortunate encounter with a neighbor that I did not know and I told him as much as I could remember about the situation. He was interested as well in my own history, any previous legal problems, credentials, personal references and other information that would inform him and others about my character. As he put it, the information would help the legal system see me as a human being and not just another case. I was impressed by his patience as he elicited the details of the case and it took some weeks for me to provide the information he requested including letters of character reference from friends and coworkers, military service records, and education records. This allowed him to create a profile for me that showed that I was a responsible person, not just some hot head that goes around getting into fights. He kept me informed over the course of the case on a regular basis of any additional evidence that was discovered and always kept me in the loop. During this process he also was able to discuss my case with the district attorney that would prosecute the case. Because of his ability to communicate with that DA on the nature of the situation that occurred he was able to offer a mitigation argument that put me in a much more favorable light. My impression is that he put considerable effort into forming a good rapport with the DA handling the case and it shows in the results. The case was dismissed in its entirety and I did not even have to go to court. On this very day I am writing this review I would otherwise be scheduled to appear in court. Thank you again Jim. I really cant express how grateful I am for your help."

Outstanding Attorney
Posted by Nicholas, a criminal defense client
"James F Stanley is an outstanding attorney. While defending me, he worked with the prosecution constantly to do something basically impossible, which was to secure a deferred judgement AND convince them of a lower charge. I'm relatively young, and naively thought I was immune to the criminal system. However, I found myself in dire circumstances over a misstep and a misunderstanding. While I and the other party were scratching our heads, the State took it upon themselves to make a case and move forward. If things were to have played out naturally, I truly believe my future prospects might have been much more limited. However, Jim's above-and-beyond representation has left me in a much better position, with a much more optimistic outlook than I would've had otherwise. It was nothing short of a blessing to find Mr. Stanley."
Outstanding Attorney
Posted by Nicholas, a criminal defense client
"James F Stanley is an outstanding attorney. While defending me, he worked with the prosecution constantly to do something basically impossible, which was to secure a deferred judgement AND convince them of a lower charge. I'm relatively young, and naively thought I was immune to the criminal system. However, I found myself in dire circumstances over a misstep and a misunderstanding. While I and the other party were scratching our heads, the State took it upon themselves to make a case and move forward. If things were to have played out naturally, I truly believe my future prospects might have been much more limited.

Case Dismissed After Months of Fighting
Posted by Karen, A Criminal Defense Client
"Attorney James Stanley convinced the DA to dismiss my case in its entirety. It took Jim several months of hard work and numerous letters, emails and phone calls to the DA assigned. Jim put together a lengthy, comprehensive and convincing argument in writing, supported by numerous exhibits. He then hand delivered the packet, over 100 pages to the DA’s Office. Then he followed up with meetings, phone calls, faxes, emails, and court motions. He constantly added to the initial presentation and never let up. Jim did extensive research in the medical issues involved in my case and impressed the DA with his knowledge when he would meet with him. Finally, after many months of fighting, the District Attorney caved and agreed to dismiss my case in its entirety. I can now get on with my life. I can never thank you enough Jim."

Assault Case Dismissed
posted by Kris, the mother of a criminal defense client
"Our son was charged with assault in the City of Wheat Ridge. My husband, son and I met with Mr. Stanley regarding the case, explaining all of the details with him. Our son was on edge initially, as he was scared and upset about the entire situation at hand. Mr. Stanley explained what his plans were on how to handle the case and advised our son to take some initial steps to help the overall outcome of the case, which our son did. Mr. Stanley kept us apprised of everything that was going on, from continuances to any conversations that he had with the City Attorney. My son's case ended up being continued a couple of times. After the first continuance, Mr. Stanley advised us that he was able to reduce the charge to harassment. He then contacted the officer involved in the case, talked to him along with the other person involved (who was also charged in the case). Mr. Stanley was able to obtain pertinent body cam footage that helped our case. When our court date arrived, Mr. Stanley met with us at the courthouse and put our minds at ease that he was going to get us the best outcome possible. After meeting again with the City Attorney and the other person involved in the case, Mr. Stanley talked to my son and put him at ease about the outcome. The Judge dismissed my son's case completely and agreed to have the record sealed that day! We were very nervous going into the courtroom. We have never been through anything like this and don't know what we would have done had we not hired Mr. Stanley to represent our son. He truly went above and beyond our expectations and got the best outcome we could have asked for. When we initially met with Mr. Stanley, he asked our son if he liked to read, which he does. He said he was going to bring our son a book the next time they saw each other. After we left the courtroom, Mr. Stanley gave our son a book that he had promised that he was going to give him to read. Again, going above and beyond for his clients. We couldn't have asked for a better attorney to work with and to help us get through a difficult situation. We are forever grateful to Jim Stanley for everything he has done for us! If you need an attorney, I would highly recommend Mr. James Stanley."

"I knew Jim early in our careers when he was a DA and I was a police officer. Twenty-some years later, after retiring, I screwed up and was arrested for DUI. I atoned for my DWAI, but did not agree with the other charges. When I decided that I needed an attorney to help me, there were only two people who came to mind; Jim Stanley or Dave Thomas, in that order. I met with Jim on a Friday afternoon, explained some of the uniqueness of my situation and he knew he could help me. We agreed on a flat rate and I expected to hear from him the following week. No, by 9am the next morning (Saturday), Jim had called me and we spoke candidly and in detail for the next hour or so. On a Saturday! At my court appearance, Jim’s experience, attention to detail and incredible intellect was demonstrated so well that he stumped a very well respected District Court Judge. You see, the judge had already decided that I was guilty for all charges and was preparing to sentence me for all of them. However, Mr. Stanley cited what could only have been obscure case law, that few would know and the Judge agreed. The other charges were dismissed. I cannot say enough about Mr. Stanley’s intelligence, professionalism and empathy. Thank you, Jim"

Case dismissed, I am Forever Grateful
Posted by Michelle, a criminal defense client
"I was arrested on two counts of 3rd degree assault in a domestic violence case. I had never been in trouble so trying to figure out what to do and how to fight it was nerve wrecking. When I first met with James, we went over every detail of my case, he stated to me “I won’t settle for anything less than a dismissal.” Although I was still afraid, James carried that mindset through the whole process. James kept me updated with all the reports from the DA and the top notch reports he created himself displaying my evidence of self defense. James was able to display my evidence in a way that could not be disproved. I am forever grateful for his relentless fight to dismiss my case as I now don’t have to carry the burden of those charges. Even when I was losing hope, he never gave up on what we wanted the outcome to be. I would recommend James to anyone who needs legal help. I am very happy I made the decision to hire him. I can not thank him enough or even put in to words how amazed I am by his work!"

Amazing Outcome
Posted by Alison, a DUI Client
"If I had family or friends in need of legal counsel, I would urge them to hire Jim Stanley. From our first meeting, I felt like Jim listened to me as not just a case, but as a person. He was concerned first that I came out of this with a better life and he facilitated my sentence through that desire.
Jim was so responsive to my calls and emails through my relatively minor case, and would give me to-do lists for tasks that not only imporved my case, but my life and long-term goals. He was tireless in his behind the scenes dealing with the DA, and by the time we came to sentencing, he had come up with a plan that facilitated my goal of keeping of my career. We ended up with an outcome that was unheard of and avoided jail time. His tireless work helped me not only keep my job but has been beneficial in my goal to become sober and not repeat this crime! Jim cares about his clients and while going through the stressful and long process of court he will be responsive and work with you for the very best outcome as long as you are willing to work to improve your life. Jim is honest and won't give you elaborate and unrealistic promises. This is the person you want to go through this process with. I cannot thank Jim enough."

"We wish to extend our gratitude and respect for your service to our son. I have no doubt that things could have been quite different without your professionalism, dedication, and your extensive involvement with this court case. I do know our son is feeling a great deal of relief and when I saw him on his way to work this morning, I knew it was probably the first night of restful sleep he has experienced in some time. Mr. Stanley, we realize how much you gave to this case, and I will always hold you in the highest esteem. You truly are a credit to the profession of law. There is no question in my mind that without your expertise and persuasive nature, things would be quite different. Our son now has a positive and firm outlook on the future which is refreshing. I feel you had a lot to do with that and both my wife and I are quite grateful. Our son of course feels the same way."

He somehow worked with the DA to get the charge lowered to a DWAI with 12 months probation and all other charges dropped with no fines and no jail time. Even the Judge said you have an amazing attorney to avoid jail time and a dwai with that BAC. Next he was able to get my DMV case completely dismissed... no interlock, no points, no license suspension. He worked so hard and was always available when I needed him. He was extremely knowledgeable and caring. I dont know what I would have done without him. He lives up to the reviews about him! It is a big decision trying to choose the right lawyer.

Best Possible Representation and Outcome
Posted by a criminal defense client
"Jim is well tenured and highly experienced, most especially in dealing with dishonest, predatory and politically motivated DAs which are ever more common. Jim Recently represented me in a case where I was falsely accused of an intentional crime after an innocent accident, but due to circumstances surrounding how the laws were written, could have been in a serious situation with the district attorney who had zero understanding for the case even after Discovery. Jim is highly experienced and absolutely put the DA back in their place and pushed them back into every concession possible systematically. He is clearly a very tenured and highly experienced lawyer who the DA is scared to face, and consequently, will make generous negotiations with. Despite having the book thrown at me over this erroneous allegation from a total accident with no injury to anyone, I came out of it with a deferment and nothing on my record. The DA in Jefferson County is ridiculous, politically motivated and predatory, but they backed down and made generous concessions to Jim. I am confident that had I not hired Jim, I would have been unfairly treated and had serious consequences for the rest of my life for something I did not do. In this day and age where there are criminals on both sides of the courtroom, it’s very important to have someone like Jim. Can't recommend his counsel enough."

Exceptional Lawyer, Impressed with Preparation
posted by Judy, the mother of a criminal defense client
"If you are looking for an exceptional lawyer I strongly recommend James Stanley. Once you become a client of his, James will carefully guide you each step of the way through the process. He will be honest with you and tell you not just what you hope to hear but what you need to hear resulting in the best possible outcome. He was able to achieve an exceptional outcome in my son's case. He was able to convince the DA and the judge to give him the absolute minimum sentence allowed by law. With his history of offenses and exceptionally high alcohol level in the current case, this was an uphill battle to accomplish. My son was facing up to one year in the County Jail with no work release. James was able to avoid a harsh sentence by preparing a written argument for the DA and a Sentencing Memorandum for the judge prior to court. The majority of lawyers do not take the time or put in the effort to submit these documents. The judge was impressed with his thorough preparation and stated this on the record during the sentencing hearing. You've already made one mistake, don't make another by not hiring James Stanley."

Impressive Dismissal of Assault Case
Posted by Brandon, a criminal defense client
"After being charged with assault by Wheat Ridge Police, my family and I met and visited with Mr. Stanley who offered his assistance. I was uneasy at first when I met with Mr. Stanley, as I have never been in this sort of situation in my life before, but he was outstanding and could not have been any better. Mr. Stanley was constantly emailing my family and I about any updates involving my case and did everything, literally everything, to produce a more reasonable outcome when the court date arrived. Mr. Stanley gave me several recommendations, which I followed without hesitation, as he assured me this would help me and my case in the long run. For those who hire Mr. Stanley, which I fully recommend, listen and follow every advise he has, he knows exactly what he is doing and talking about. My court date had been continued a couple times, but following the first continuance, and further reassurance from Mr. Stanley, he already had my case down to a harassment charge. I was completely nervous when my court date arrived and when I saw Mr. Stanley and the way he looked and talked to me, I got a rush of confidence I had not had during this whole ordeal. The judge's reaction when he called my name and reviewed my file proved that the best decision made throughout this whole situation was hiring Mr. Stanley. Not only did I not get charged with assault, but the miracle worker that is Mr. Stanley got the entire case dismissed against me and we were able to seal the entire, like nothing ever happened. What Mr. Stanley did for me and my family could not have been any better way to end the year and give me a fresh start going into 2020. Thank you Mr. Stanley for everything you did, as well as the book you gifted me, I could not have asked for a better attorney and will be forever grateful of the service you provided for me."

Case was Dismissed!
Posted by Jeff, a criminal defense client
"In December 2020 I was charged with harassment which is also a domestic violence issue. It was a very nerve racking experience being arrested, and the penalties are a bit worse than you would think if convicted even though it was only a class 3 misdemeanor. I could have potentially lost my right to own firearms and gone through an arduous months long probation sentence if convicted. I interviewed several attorneys and felt Jim had the knowledge and experience to give me the best possible outcome. I was impressed with Jim's communication from the start with me and I appreciated his no BS approach. He told me the truth about my case. And the truth is, these types of cases rarely end well for the defendant and almost never get dismissed. Jim first asked me to review the discovery information and pick out any "nuggets" that we could play on since I know the accuser pretty well in this case. I put together a detailed list and provided Jim with some additional information that I felt could help me. However, I wasn't all that optimistic and was resigned to the fact that I was going to be pleading to some crime with a deferred judgment as the best possible outcome. I think its important to note that you can provide your lawyer with all the information, but if they do not present it effectively to the DA, it will not influence. This is where Jim shined. He took the information I provided him and had the foresight and knowledge to draft a very aggressive and comprehensive written argument for the dismissal of my case, sent to the DA. Not only did Jim do this, but he convinced the DA to take a detailed look into my case in the pre trial phase. Most DA's do not look at the case in detail until just before the trial and have standard offers they will throw out until you have set a trial date. So the DA looked into my case, read the arguments Jim put together, and at our first pre trial conference, the case was fully dismissed. The angle Jim took was very convincing and I now have sealed my records and this is behind me. I would highly recommend Jim for anyone charged with a crime. His past experience as a DA and years defending people in his private practice give him a unique perspective and tools to attack your case and give you the best possible outcome. Thanks Jim!"
Case was Dismissed!
Posted by Jeff, a criminal defense client
"In December 2020 I was charged with harassment which is also a domestic violence issue. It was a very nerve racking experience being arrested, and the penalties are a bit worse than you would think if convicted even though it was only a class 3 misdemeanor. I could have potentially lost my right to own firearms and gone through an arduous months long probation sentence if convicted. I interviewed several attorneys and felt Jim had the knowledge and experience to give me the best possible outcome. I was impressed with Jim's communication from the start with me and I appreciated his no BS approach. He told me the truth about my case. And the truth is, these types of cases rarely end well for the defendant and almost never get dismissed. Jim first asked me to review the discovery information and pick out any "nuggets" that we could play on since I know the accuser pretty well in this case. I put together a detailed list and provided Jim with some additional information that I felt could help me. However, I wasn't all that optimistic and was resigned to the fact that I was going to be pleading to some crime with a deferred judgment as the best possible outcome. I think its important to note that you can provide your lawyer with all the information, but if they do not present it effectively to the DA, it will not influence. This is where Jim shined.

Extremely Impressive Attorney
Posted by Nora, a criminal defense client
"Don't roll the dice! Hire James F. Stanley!!! When I recently found myself in the precarious position of needing an attorney I decided to start looking online and reading reviews. The obvious choice was Jim Stanley. Boy, did he ever deliver. Third degree assault--DISMISSED! Resisting Arrest--Disorderly conduct (petty offense), 8 hrs. community service. Whew!!!
I have to admit this wasn't my first time in a courtroom so I was definitely in need of someone to "plead" my case. Not only is that exactly what he did, but he did it with such finesse and expertise as to sway the courts in my favor. His legal prowess and dogged determination with the DA was relentless. He did all the things you expect a lawyer to do-- demand 911 calls and all discovery, file motions, pore over details, etc. and his timing, impeccable. I just can't say enough about his representation. Do yourself a favor, call Jim."

Best Decision
Posted by Sam, a Criminal Defense Client
"I strongly recommend retaining attorney James Stanley. I did and it was the best decision possible. He is very knowledgeable and capable. He took charge of the case allowing me to deal with my personal responsibilities with little worry of my legal situation. He was also available when things were bleak and stressful. He handled the aspects of my case with confidence and directness. Yet he accepted a collaborative effort explaining the law and keeping me directed to what was important. My suggestions when not relevant to the case were explained and he reminded me the direction we were to head. My relevant suggestions were professionally documented, expanded, and included in my defense package. What I personally appreciate about his representation were that everything he told me was true (even if it seemed strange to everyday life), he continued to tirelessly advocate on my behalf even after he had met the original expected goals, he was always prepared, aware of the court schedule, and he willingly took care of details on my behalf such as a twenty-five dollar court charge that did not apply to my court costs. I believe no other attorney could have done a better job representing me."

Miracle Result-Mr. Stanley Convinced DA to Give Me a Break
Posted by Carol, a criminal defense client
"I was facing a serious felony charge with possible jail time. Jim convinced the DA and the judge to give me another break. Being that I had a prior similar charge, it really was a miracle. He put together a presentation for the DA, in order to convince him to give me yet another break. Then he followed up by calling the DA repeatedly and bending his ear. He was able to get the felony dismissed, so I will never have to worry about that, which could have ruined my life. Jim used character letters, video presentation, and persistence to obtain these unbelievable results. I recommend him to anyone facing a felony charge."

Exceptional lawyer
Posted by Heshaum, a criminal defense client
"I first began my search for lawyers on avvo and found Jim almost right away. I want to start off by saying how impressed I was with his previous reviews and I contacted him for a consultation. We met the following day to go over what had happened and how he planned to proceed with my case (for assault). Jim was professional, confident, knowledgeable, and eager to win. Even though I was stressed out with the whole process, I felt comfortable knowing Jim was my lawyer. Whenever I had a question or concern, Jim would answer the same day and any new information he received, he called and kept me updated throughout the whole process. After continually reaching out to the prosecutor, he was able to get me a deferred prosecution which is extremely rare. I was given minimal tasks to complete and once completed, the case would be dismissed and sealed without conviction. Jim, you saved not only my future career, but every aspect of daily living. God bless you and your family."

"I am beyond thankful that I had Jim on my side!!! Jim was extremely competent, resourceful, and responsive. He also did not "sugar coat" anything, which I greatly appreciated. The facts in my case were aggravated and because I had a prior, I was facing a jail sentence and a significant fine. Jim was a miracle worker! He was able to get 3 of the 4 charges dropped before my arraignment. In addition, through exceptional preparation of a memorandum with attachments and updates, sent to the judge prior to my sentencing, Jim achieved amazing results... No jail time, no fine and he was able to convince the judge to reduce probation, from the normal 24 months to 18 months!"

First Class Attorney

"Jim has done an absolutely amazing job with my case. He was on top of every slightest detail in my case from the day I hired him till the case was finished. I had a history of priors and with the aggravated facts in my case, it is a miracle he was able to get the original charges dismissed and a plea to one low level felony. It is an even greater miracle that he was able to convince the DA to recommend the judge give me probation with no jail time. Jim even advised me on treatment programs to consider before court to help aid me in receiving the best possible outcome in my case. Jim wrote a 20-page mitigation packet that he sent the DA together with him contacting the DA multiple times to point out the positive steps I was taking in my treatment, and this was instrumental in arriving at unbelievable fantastic outcome in my case. The Judge himself told me at my sentencing that my Attorney did an amazing job for me in my case. I couldn't be any happier I attained Jim, and his services in my case. I highly recommend James Stanley if you need a Criminal defense Attorney."

Theft Case Dismissed Despite Overwhelming Evidence
Posted by Gabriel, a criminal defense client
"Jim Stanley was able to achieve a fantastic outcome in my case. The District Attorney had solid evidence against me including eye witnesses, video and your statements, which were essentially a confession. Despite the evidence, he convinced the District Attorney to dismiss my case in its entirety! Not just a plea bargain, not just a reduction in charges, not just a light sentence, a complete dismissal. I feel this accomplishment is very rare when it is clear the DA could have prosecuted me. I know for a fact that Jim spent many, many hours, actually days, preparing a written argument and video presentation of the evidence to persuade the DA to see the case in a light most favorable to me. He went so far as to send her a large package with a CD of my case presentation. Jim is a caring human being as well as an amazing lawyer. I hope that I won't need his services in the future; however he is the only lawyer I will call if I did need services in the future."

"Jim is the consummate professional. My situation was complicated with a depressing "minimum sentencing" outlook and a high probability of losing my job as well as losing my driving privilege for two years. His decades of prior experience as a District Attorney allowed him to effectively coordinate with the court to have my charges significantly reduced! Three out of the four charges were summarily dismissed. The legal advice he provided me prior to appearing in court insured the minimum sentence possible, work release during incarceration (to keep my job) and the ability to apply for reinstatement of my driver's license after only 30 days. I certainly don't plan on needing legal assistance in the future but if I should, Jim will be my first call.

After agreeing to take on my case I received a phone call from Jim a few days later where he had done extensive research on my case, and he then had a list of steps for me to take. These were very easy to follow and actionable, they helped me and they will help you too. After following the instructions, Jim was able to convince the prosecutor and the judge to get my case deferred. This means that as long as I stay out of trouble for just six months, I will have my charges completely dropped and can legally say that I was never arrested. Jim also convinced the judge to impose no jail, no fine and not even probation. I essentially had no sentence or punishment at all! This is an amazing outcome, and I can now apply for jobs without fear that my mistakes will haunt me. There is no way that I could have received this outcome on my own, and for that I am forever grateful to attorney Jim Stanley."

Incredibly Thorough, Detailed, and Relentless in Seeking Best Outcome
Posted by Gerald, a criminal defense client
"Jim was incredibly thorough, detailed, and relentless in seeking the best possible outcome to my Felony DUI case. I was facing a 2 to 6 year prison sentence and Jim was able to achieve a most highly unlikely Work Release Misdemeanor Sentence, saving my 35 year Government job and pension. This was an absolute unexpected miracle outcome for me. It doesn’t stop there. Jim separates himself from the field of elite (5 star) attorney’s by offering very affordable services (the best I could find) and to help someone like me who was struggling financially by offering a payment plan. Without this, not only could I not have hired Jim, but probably no other respectable attorney as well."

Unusual Outcome
Posted by a criminal defense client
"Jim Stanley was able to negotiate a very favorable outcome for my case with the Jefferson County District Attorney. The District Attorney agreed to a deferred judgment. This is a very unusual outcome for such a case. I understand that it is unheard-of in Jefferson County for the DA to agree to no probation, no fines and no other conditions at all, except to stay out of trouble for 1 year. To accomplish this, my attorney compiled and organized a large amount of information which I had provided about my unusual situation. Jim then hand delivered it to the DA's office. I could not have been more pleased with this highly favorable outcome in my case. I highly recommend Jim Stanley."

This is a very unusual outcome for such a case. I understand that it is unheard-of in Jefferson County for the DA to agree to no probation, no fines and no other conditions at all, except to stay out of trouble for 1 year. To accomplish this, my attorney compiled and organized a large amount of information which I had provided about my unusual situation. Jim then hand delivered it to the DA's office. I could not have been more pleased with this highly favorable outcome in my case. I highly recommend Jim Stanley."

Superb Representation
Posted by Mary, relative of DUI client.
"I recommended Jim to my cousin for her daughter's DUI. From the first consultation through winning the DMV hearing to final resolution in court, Jim aced it! Part of his genius is that no detail is too small. Jim collected the 911 call recording, statements from witnesses - everything that had the slightest bearing on the case. He caught the inconsistencies in the law officer's statements; took the DMV hearing which "no one ever wins" seriously and won it! By the time it went to hearing he knew the smallest details AND he knew the client so he was able to represent her to the fullest. Unexpectedly good outcome at the hearing - Jim is the best."

"No one likes to hire an attorney and I never thought I would have to do so. If you find yourself in need of one, I Highly recommend Jim Stanley. He is an excellent attorney...professional, knowledgeable, experienced, responsive and cares about his client. I had two criminal cases with the same victim. Jim prepared a Power Point presentation showing the defects and inconsistencies in the facts. He was able to get both dismissed...Amazing outcome! Jim, thank you from the bottom of my heart. God bless you!"

Formed a Detailed Strategy
Posted by Charlie, the father of a criminal defense client
"We hired Jim Stanley after our son got into serious trouble, charged with several crimes. Jim formed a strategy to:
1. Get help for our son - detox, recovery, and rehabilitation, medical and therapeutic. Jim made it clear to us that our son's health and wellbeing were clearly the most important aspects of these cases.
2. Communicate continuously with the District Attorneys in all cases all the progress our son was making through professional medical and therapeutic help. Back this up with documentation. Make the case that our son was no longer a danger to himself or others. Jim was relentless and succeeded on all fronts. The DAs hold a lot of sway with the Judges and the Judges put lot of credence in what they say and recommend. Dealing with the DAs is clearly Jim's forte.
3. Show the DAs and Judges that our son was going above and beyond to get professional help and not just doing what POs and pre-trial officers required.
4. Show the DAs and Judges that our son has a very strong support system of friends, relatives, immediate family, employer, customers, etc. In our opinion most important is immediate family - especially mother and father if possible. Do this through detailed letters to the DAs/Judges.
5. Continue cases until our son had the time to get firmly into the medical and therapeutic treatment programs he so desperately needed, for Jim to prepare and disseminate associated documentation for the DA/Judges, and to verbally communicate this information to the DAs.
6. When the time was right based on all data and information provided to the DAs, work out plea agreements with the DAs. In court, written and verbal testimony from the DAs, our son, and immediate family carried the day. Even Jim was surprised at how favorable one of the cases turned out.
In the end our son is not incarcerated, his fines and court costs manageable, and he is in a therapeutic program that is working. He is well on the road to recovery and back to being a productive member of society.
Our son's lawyer, Jim Stanley, made this all happen. I cannot heap enough praise on him. He was spot on with everything he directed our son and us, his parents, to do. We have him to thank for our son's freedom and for being firmly on the road to recovery. It is still a long road, but thanks to Jim, our son is on it and headed in the right direction.
Five stars does not do Jim justice. Make it 10. Thanks a lot Jim."

Not Guilty at Trial
Posted by Susan, mother of criminal defense client
"Our case was unusual to say the least. There was only one of us with charges against him, but our entire family was affected. My daughter, like so many others, has PTSD, Anxiety, and Depression. She was in counseling, however it was not being supplemented with medication. She had reported to her therapist that she was having, uncontrollable rages toward her boyfriend and how bothered she was about them, but her therapist never suggested medication. Consequently, during one of these rages she called the police and her boyfriend was arrested, the charges, Assault in the Third Degree and Harassment. Just three days after the incident my daughter called me. She was extremely agitated and inconsolable. She was feeling hopeless and helpless to a point that I feared for her safety. I encouraged her to seek help from professionals. Thankfully, that is just what she did. Once my daughter was getting the help she needed I knew that I needed to help Jarrod with the legal problems, he now had, due to, in part, my daughter's mental health issues. I did a search online and, fortunately, I found James Stanley. I read through his entire website and decided that he was what we needed to help. We made an appointment with him the next day and he got to work immediately. Jim filed motion after motion showing the prosecution that this was not going to be an easy one for them to win. The mishandling of this case, from the beginning, was obvious. From the police telling my daughter not to include in her statement, that she had started the argument by hitting Jarrod and later scratching him on his face, to the DA's office and the judge not listening to her, when she repeatedly said that what was in the police report is not what had happened. That her mental health issues were largely to blame. At the motions hearing a remarkable thing happened. We were able to get the protection order lifted because Jim got the judge to listen to my daughter. She explained how she was getting help with her issues and that she needed Jarrod to help her in her recovery. At the trial Jim was brilliant in his questioning of the prospective jurors. He questioned them on what they thought about a case that was pursued by the prosecution, but was not corroborated by the witness in the case. He made the comment that the presumption of innocence is only in the court room, not on the streets, and that the defendant is not required to testify because it is up to the prosecution to prove their case, beyond a reasonable doubt. All in all this should have never gotten to trial, it should have been dropped. It was a big waste of taxpayer dollars! But, I'm happy to say that the jury came back in just 37 minutes and found Jarrod, not guilty, on both charges. All my thanks go to Jim Stanley for his stellar work. I highly recommend him and know that you will be in very capable hands with him on your team!"

Amazing Attorney

"Mr. Stanley is such an amazing Attorney. I was looking at a second DUI charge in which I would receive jail time, heavy fines, and would have gotten my Massage License revoked so I would have lost my job and income. James Stanley Was so calm and supportive from the first call and through sentencing. His invaluable advice helped me get back on track with sobriety, got me into the right classes and groups that I needed, to show the courts how incredibly sorry I was. He was able to reduce my sentence to a DWAI with a very low probation sentence and no jail time! This is literally the BEST possible outcome I could have hoped for in my case. I would NOT have gotten this without Mr. Stanley. I am forever grateful for his wisdom and time. If you're are scared and lost and don't know who to turn to, James Stanley is definitely the first person to call. I hope I'll never need to but I will definitely use his services again."

Eternally Grateful to Attorney Jim Stanley
Posted by a DUI defense client
"I hired Jim Stanley on the recommendation of a close family member in Law Enforcement after my first DUI. My wife and I read his reviews and we were convinced he was what I needed. Jim set to action immediately. He was very clear about anything I needed to do- communication was very easy. My memory of the DUI was very limited so as information about my case came into Jim’s office he also saw the severity of my offense. I had a BAC of .458…. something that would warrant losing my license-(which I would lose my job) and almost always some jail time or home arrest among other consequences. This felt hopeless. Jim was able to achieve an unbelievable outcome in my case!! Not only was he able to convince the DA to reduce my charge to DWAI- and 8 points - I keep my license (and my job) but I received only 12 months probation and no jail time or at home arrest at all. My family and I are eternally grateful to Jim Stanley for his hard work and tenacity in my case. This is truly as close to a miracle as you get!"

"My boyfriend was falsely accused of assault back in April while trying to help a couple from fighting. My boyfriend being a past officer jumped in to help & was framed. We immediately started our search for a lawyer and came across Mr. Stanley. Unfortunately due to my work schedule I couldn’t make it to the meetings that were held with my boyfriend and Jim. My boyfriend had nothing but positive things to say every time they met, talked in person, or emailed one another. Jim went above and beyond with having my boyfriend get character letters from fellow coworkers, our doctors with his profession, family, and friends. I was also asked to write a affidavit on my behalf of what happened that night to also send as part of the mitigation paperwork. We arrived at court thinking that my boyfriend would be falsely charged and his life would be ruined and boy were we wrong. Due to Mr. Stanley’s hard work, dedication, and knowledge my boyfriend was charged with Deferred Prosecution (which means after two simples tasks it goes away as it never happened!). Jim has been a lawyer for 36 years and said this is extremely rare! We couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer and someone to help fight this horrible situation. I can’t say enough positive facts about Jim, I highly recommend him!"

This Attorney Saved Me

"After a decent amount of time accruing aggressive driving tickets, I got lit up doing 92 in a 40 with an open mary j container. The combination was so messed up, i was looking at 90 days jail and a year without a license. It's the most frightening thing I've confronted, because even the people I've raced with wouldn't consider me reckless or criminal, i just like driving fast. James' results blew away everybody who handed me a sentence. The license revocation was dropped to restriction, the jail time was dropped to house arrest for less than half the time, I've been able to keep my life in tact in the face of losing it. He threw everything at the prosecution, had the police provide calibration records for the equipment used, had my friends send letters to the judge vouching for my safe driving habits, all those little things that would be just way hard to think to send. Anyway, so recommended, especially for people like me who are way too intimidated by the law process to try and tackle it alone."

The license revocation was dropped to restriction, the jail time was dropped to house arrest for less than half the time, I've been able to keep my life in tact in the face of losing it. He threw everything at the prosecution, had the police provide calibration records for the equipment used, had my friends send letters to the judge vouching for my safe driving habits, all those little things that would be just way hard to think to send. Anyway, so recommended, especially for people like me who are way too intimidated by the law process to try and tackle it alone."

Awesome Lawyer
Posted by a criminal defense client
"Mr. Stanley was an awesome lawyer in my opinion. From the first meeting we had, he listened to what I had to say, gave me an honest opinion of the case, and once I agreed to have him represent me he got started on the case. He never told me what I wanted to hear, but was honest and allowed me to take all the facts he was providing and with his guidance allowed me to decide if I wanted to plea, continue fighting, or make another decision. Ultimately, He was able to achieve a very favorable outcome in my case. This was my second DUI (did not blow or do roadside tests) and he was able to get my conviction to a DWAI, no jail time, no fines and just 18 months probation. I have no doubt the guidance he provided helped me to get the outcome in this case and would recommend anyone facing DUI charges to hire him."

He also worked with my schedule, and was very helpful on helping me understand the situation. He guided me on each step of the way which lead to a very successful case. He managed to get me a fhenomenal deal, which was next to impossible to achieve. Mr. Standley is just one of the best Attorneys in Colorado I highly recommend him."

Experience Makes all the Difference
Posted by Michele, a criminal defense client
"I hired Jim Stanley to dispute a DV case that the city was pressing against me. The City attorneys had no interest in lessening the charges or reviewing the case as this is a mandatory arrest charge with no tolerances. Jim was very erudite and knew exactly when and how to present the case and with patience that he has like a Zen master, the case was dropped and dismissed. I would of had at least a year of probation if not for Jim's work and experience on how to get the job done. I wholly recommend Jim Stanley as a lawyer and rest assured, his calm manner = fighting for you rights with the best possible outcome."

He clearly outlined what was needed from my son and how he would move should we retain him (which we did). Mr. Stanley kept us updated, explained his actions and in the end was able to find an obscure error in the testing equipment and convince the prosecutor there could be an issue with the police testing. He was able to get a plea agreement that dropped all original charges and my son agreed to a lesser charge."

Best Criminal Defense Attorney in Colorado
Posted by Ryan, a criminal defense client
"I was charged with Assault and Interference With Peace Officer. The District Attorney had an eye witness. I have a prior assault arrest and I was facing serious jail. I did a lot of research looking for an experienced and aggressive attorney. The best decision I have ever made was hiring attorney James Stanley. He immediately went to work on my case. He tracked down and interviewed witnesses favorable to my case. He prepared affidavits for the witnesses to sign and notarize. He filed numerous motions with the Court and demands to the DA’s Office to produce missing information in the case. Jim kept me informed with every step he took in my case, returned my calls promptly, answered all my questions thoroughly and made sure I understood the entire court process. Jim put together a comprehensive written argument with exhibits outlining the defects in the DA’s case. He worked tirelessly on my case to uncover every possible angle for a defense. Somehow Jim convinced the DA to completely dismiss my case, all the charges were dismissed. This was a far better outcome than anyone expected. On a scale of 1-10 I would give this man a 15. James Stanley is an awesome attorney, thank you Jim!"

Case Dismissed in Six Months
Posted by Johnny, a criminal defense client
"My case was dismissed and I received a 6 month deferral. After the 6 months my record will be completely sealed. Jim was able to achieve a very unusual outcome in my case. A clue to this was when his opponent (the prosecutor) made the comment to me that "I hired the right guy". A six month deferred judgment is essentially a six month delay in dismissal of the case. Once it is dismissed and then sealed, no member of the public will be able to ever know it existed. Also, once the case is sealed, if any public entity asks, I will be able to legally deny that I was ever charged with a crime. I'm glad that this episode of my life has is over and Jim made it happen. Jim is fair and through, he will ask you to do some homework and its for a good reason trust me. My charge was disorderly conduct and I had a very negative police report written about me. I feel that Jim knows lots of people, his experience and longstanding reputation really helped me. Best of luck with your case and thank you Jim!"

Achieved a Miracle
Posted by Rose, a criminal defense client
"Jim ACHIEVED A MIRACLE in my situation. I received a ticket beginning of the year, a 29-point ticket. Reckless driving, Leaving the Scene and Failure to Report an Accident. With 2 DUI's on my record, I was looking at Jail time and definitely losing my license. I knew I needed to hire private council. Based off the AVVO reviews I retained James. One month later, I got another 6-point speeding ticket....
Jim got my charges Dropped and I pled guilty to only a defective vehicle charge, 3 days before court on my 29-point ticket, I received another ticket, this time 4 points. Charges were dropped to Defective vehicle. James was able to get the DA on the phone and negotiate a deal for me. After she had been dodging everyone else for months, I know this because other attorneys stated they were unable to reach the DA which is why they needed an extension. James got all my charges Dropped. I pled guilty to careless driving for 6 points on a 29-point ticket. 3 major traffic violations later within 2 months. I was able to keep my license with points to spare. NO probation, no community service. James resolved my Tickets in a manner. He was quick with response to my emails and questions, and believe me I had a lot. He is direct with his prices no hidden fees or additional charges. Mostly he is transparent and tells you the facts not what you want to hear like most attorneys. Jimmy the Dropped or Jim Justice should be his nickname. His no Games, NO BS approach on how he handles your case, and the DA is comforting, and I knew I was in good hands. A huge Thank you to the Stanley Law Office for his years of experiences and dedication to the job, for helping me get through a tough time in my life. I would be in Jail and unable to drive for a long time when I got out without him. I owe this man my life and he is worth every dollar and the reviews are on him are accurate. Hiring James was the best decision I've made in a long time."

He was able to help my daughter navigate through the judicial system, plea her charges down much further than expected and avoid a felony charge from being entered. I hope I never need to use his services again, but if I am ever in a position that an attorney is required, I will be contacting Jim. Thank you so much Jim!"

Awesome Lawyer
Posted by a criminal defense client
"Mr. Stanley was an awesome lawyer in my opinion. From the first meeting we had, he listened to what I had to say, gave me an honest opinion of the case, and once I agreed to have him represent me he got started on the case. He never told me what I wanted to hear, but was honest and allowed me to take all the facts he was providing and with his guidance allowed me to decide if I wanted to plea, continue fighting, or make another decision. Ultimately, He was able to achieve a very favorable outcome in my case. This was my second DUI (did not blow or do roadside tests) and he was able to get my conviction to a DWAI, no jail time, no fines and just 18 months probation. I have no doubt the guidance he provided helped me to get the outcome in this case and would recommend anyone facing DUI charges to hire him."

"I was on probation on a felony with a deferred sentence and was arrested on a new charge. I was going to be revoked and convicted of the felony. Then I hired attorney Jim Stanley. Mr. Stanley convinced the prosecutor to stipulate to another deferred sentence on the new case, even though I was currently on a deferred sentence on the felony case. I avoided a conviction in this new case. This was an incredible deal because it is against the DA office policy. Then Mr. Stanley convinced the prosecutor on my felony deferred case to agree to let me stay on the deferred sentence and avoid a conviction in that case also. Mr. Stanley worked hard to compile mitigation material and present arguments to both prosecutors to get these deals. I am forever grateful to Jim for the results he achieved for me. If you are charged with a crime in Colorado, the smartest decision you will make is to go with Jim Stanley."

"I was being charged with a theft felony and my car had been impounded by the police. James Stanley is very experienced and extremely professional. He fought to get me the best result. He was able to negotiate the return of my car and the majority of the fees taken away. He convinced the DA to agree to a deferred action which will allow my case to me dismissed and to get my record cleared upon completion of my probation. He also got the DA to agree to lower my probation from 2 years to one year if I comply with probation within that first year. I am very pleased with the result of my case. I highly recommend Mr.Stanley's services. He was easy to work with and to communicate with. He always returned my calls and emails quickly. I appreciate all his hard work."

Your Defense In the Best of Hands with James Stanley
Posted by Scott, a criminal defense client
"From our very first meeting Mr. Stanley was extremely professional, understanding, knowledgable and helped formulate a defense strategy. Three separate times he traveled to the courthouse making appearances before multiple DA's. He took the time to visit key areas and made special mapping. He also contacted many friends within the judicial system to have them review charges and ultimately have them lowered and after six months dismissed. You can shop around, but I think you will ultimately form a similar opinion that your defense is in the best of hands with James Stanley."

Incredible Result For DUI Case
Posted by Paul, a DUI client
"After getting a DUI with a high BAC I was frazzled. I had no idea what was going on, how to proceed, and what was in my future. I reached out to several lawyers; some were cheap and unreliable, others seemed to be asking an awful lot of money for a DUI case. James worked with my budget and represented me doggedly at my hearing and court case. I received no fine, minimal community service, no in home detention or jail time, and the DUI reduced to a DWAI. I would recommend James in a heartbeat."

OMG.......Awesome Lawyer
Posted by Jeremiah, a criminal defense client
"I was charged with Driving Habitual Traffic Offender, was facing serious jail time and losing my license for another year, I am also on felony probation and could have faced revocation due to the charges I was facing. Jim was very thorough in his preparations for court.
He put together an argument with exhibits for the DA assigned to my case who at first refused to show me any leniency. Instead of folding, Mr. Stanley’s persistence and tenacious character kicked in. He kept after the DA, continued my case to get more information for a favorable argument and eventually changed the DA’s mind. Mr. Stanley convinced the DA to dismiss all the original charges in my case and let me plead to just a “defective vehicle” with a small fine. I avoided jail and got my driver’s license back. If you need an excellent lawyer, call Jim Stanley..... I will always be thankful to Jim for what he did and if I ever am in need of representation again....I will not be calling anyone else. ....Thank you Jim"

"I have had a few complications with the court system in my past. I have been recommended many lawyers but none have help me as much as Mr. Stanley. I was suggested to Mr. Stanley by my Uncle who is a bankruptcy attorney. At this time I was on probation for a DUI and caught driving. I was charged with DUS-Alcohol, facing a mandatory 30 days jail sentence and facing having my probation being revoked with more jail time on that. Then after a few good words from other clients I hired attorney James Stanley. Mr. Stanley put together an argument for the district attorney and convinced her to dismiss the charge and let me plead to a zero point traffic offense. I avoided any jail and avoided the probation revocation. I now have a valid license and my probation will be terminated early, all thanks to James Stanley. I highly recommend this lawyer."

Fantastic Results
Posted by Amber, a DUI client
"Jim Stanley obtained a fantastic outcome in my case. I was charged with DUI and other offenses after I crashed my car. My Blood alcohol was very high. My license was going to be revoked for two years and I was most certainly going to convicted of DUI. Then I hired attorney Jim Stanley. Mr. Stanley won my case at the DMV hearing. He was totally prepared with exhibits and legal analysis. The DMV action was dismissed completely, which means I was able to keep my license. I have heard it essentially impossible to win a DMV
hearing. I still do not know how he did it, but he did. Then, with the court case, he put together a comprehensive written argument with exhibits to convince the DA to dismiss the DUI and reduce the charges to a lesser offense. So I did not lose my license in the court case either. If you need an aggressive, thorough and smart criminal defense attorney, I highly recommend Jim Stanley"

"James was willing to take on my case at last minute and was also willing to let me make payments to him which was great! James took two of my cases on, a driving under suspension and a second DUI. James was always very helpful. He helped me understand everything that was going on and what to expect. I was originally facing being deemed a habitual traffic offender and losing my license for five years and a mandatory by law jail term of 30 days on the DUS alcohol. That has all been dismissed and the only conviction in that case is just two low level traffic offenses: careless and stop sign violation. Unbelievable!!! On my DUI case James convinced the prosecutor to dismiss the hit and count and the careless driving count and to not object to the minimum sentence with the lowest option for punishment. James helped me avoid losing my license for five years as a habitual offender, avoided a mandatory 30 days from the DUS, which also was dismissed, and avoided another 30 days on my DUI case. I was so lucky to have found James, not only is he a great lawyer, he is also very kind and honest person who is looking out for your best interests. I would highly recommend James to anyone I know."

“Attorney James Stanley will work tirelessly to find every possible way to help you. I was charged with assault and domestic violence. A domestic violence charge is serious, I could have lost the ability to possess a firearm for the rest of my life and would not be able to obtain any job where possessing a firearm is required. The DA refused to make any kind of an offer with the first attorney I hired. I decided to fire my first attorney at then I hired attorney James Stanley. This was the best decision I have made in my entire life. Mr. Stanley spent countless hours investigating every aspect of my case, he flooded the DA with numerous and creative motions and demands to produce certain documents and discovery and he located and interviewed every possible witness to my case. After he put together my defense, he reached out to the DA and carefully presented his argument and the results of his investigation. The end result? Mr. Stanley got my entire case dismissed.! Not only did he get my case dismissed, but it was dismissed with a court order prohibiting the DA from even attempting to file it again even if the DA got more evidence. If you need a criminal defense attorney I highly recommend James Stanley."

Fantastic Attorney
Posted by Felipe, a criminal defense client
" I was charged with several serious felonies and a DUI. I was facing serious jail time or prison. I was unable to locate an attorney for months and then found attorney Jim Stanley. I am thankful I found him. Jim was able to convince the prosecutor to dismiss all the felony counts in my case and even dismiss the DUI count. I only had to plead to misdemeanors and got straight probation with no jail at all. I know that no other lawyer would have been able to do even half of what Jim did for me. If anyone ever asks me for the name of a good lawyer, I will refer them to Jim Stanley. I think Jim is a Saint. Thank you, Jim, from the bottom of my heart and my family thanks you for everything you have done for me."

Jim was very informative and worked with me on everything that needed to be done. He recommended that I have family/friend come to the sentencing and speak on my behalf. I didn't think much about this part because I knew everyone was working that day. But I asked and my father and best friend ended up coming and spoke on my behalf and the judge took notice of this. He noticed how much support I have and was assured this will never happen again. Jim was very knowledgable about this and knew this would help me. Anytime I called Jim, he would call me back either the same day or early the next day. I really appreciated that. I understand everyone gets busy but he always made a point to call me as soon as he could. I would recommend Jim to anyone who is in need of a defense attorney."

The Best Outcome With Mr. Stanley

"Looking for someone who will give you the best outcome? No outcome is guaranteed, but you can feel confident with Stanley. How "small" my case was he still took it with seriousness. It made me feel like my case was his most important case. From day one Mr. Stanley investigated my case, suggesting he'd go scope out the location of my incident. Then set a plan for himself and for me. Throughout my case we kept in good contact via phone and email. He asked me good questions and shared with me any advice that would help our case. Stanley went that extra mile and reached out to the prosecutor, making a jump start on taking down my case before my court date. When court date rolled around, but Mr. Stanley wasn't done, he continued to work to get me an even better outcome. We walked out of the court room with a dismissed case! Very professional, diligent, and aggressive yet friendly and will talk to you like you're a human being. I will recommend Mr. Stanley to anyone."

Exceptional Outcome-Highly Recommend
Posted by Jarrett, a criminal defense client
"Jim was able to achieve an exceptional outcome in both of my cases. He prepared a comprehensive mitigation packet and highlighted all the positive aspects of my life while emphasizing the substantial friend and family support that I have. Jim did an excellent job communicating with me from the start and through the end of my cases. He also walked me through scenarios and questions that may come up during court so that I was prepared. I can confidently state that Jim knows the business. The result was Jim impressed the judge in my revocation case (I think he stated this on the record) and impressed the District Attorney. Jim also managed to keep me from any conviction at all in the second case, even though I was on probation at the time of the offense. I believe this is a first in Jefferson County. Thus, my second case will be eventually completely dismissed, and I can seal the record, like it never happened. I highly recommend using James F Stanley, Attorney at Law."

We had a bogus temporary restraining order filed on us due to an interpersonal family dispute. He quickly grasped the situation and ended up getting this dismissed. He was very competent and familiar with the laws. His communication skills are excellent. We were continuously made aware of what was happening. We never had to hunt him down or wonder when we were going to receive communication from him. When we went to court, everything he said would happen did in fact happen. He appears to be a respected member of the legal community, which did help our case. No one likes to hire an attorney, but if you find yourself in need of one, then I highly recommend Jim. We believe he treated us in a fair manner."

Jim Stanley is a Great Lawyer
Posted by Bill, a criminal defense client
"James handled my Speeding/Traffic Ticket matter. When my son faced suspension of his license, Mr. Stanley advised us that the traffic court we were assigned to had never negotiated down the severity of the ticket when the driver exceeded 90 mph, as my son did. However, Mr. Stanley worked with us to put together a mitigation package (character references, parent statement, etc.) and insisted that the chief prosecutor review our case. Based on his work, a reduced sentence was reached and my son kept his driver's license, which was critical for his school and work obligations. If we had approached the court process without Jim Stanley, the outcome would have been very different, and our son would not be driving today."

"Jim Stanley is a terrific litigator and person. As a former prosecutor, he has unique insight into the criminal justice system, perspective that he uses to the great benefit of his clients. He is a highly effective negotiator who can persuade even the toughest of DAs to treat his clients fairly, and he is fully capable of trying even the most difficult of cases. I heartily recommend him to anyone seeking top-notch legal counsel in a criminal case."

"I've worked with Jim for many years, first as a felony prosecutor and now on my side as a criminal defense attorney. I have great respect for his knowledge of the law and fairness that he brought to prosecuting my clients. He was always a man of his word, and that is not universal in our profession. Now as a criminal defense attorney, he brings a huge advantage to his clients as he knows the inside of the opposition, how they think and work, and can turn that to his clients' benefit. He also has excellent knowledge of the law, much more so than the average prosecutor, which again only works to the benefit of his defense clients. I recommend Jim highly."

"Jim has...entered the world of private practice. I've known him since my fledgling days in the Jefferson County DA's office over 16 years ago. Recently, I've managed to have several cases against him... I have always found Jim to be passionate about his cases while open minded about resolution. He is a strong advocate for his clients and always prepared for court. He has managed some of the largest dockets in the state and his trial practice is paramount."

"I have practiced on the other side of the courtroom during Jim's tenure as a felony prosecutor of the Jefferson County, Colorado, Office of the District Attorney. I can say that at that time Jim was a formidable opponent who prosecuted cases fairly and ethically. Now that Jim has been practicing criminal defense law, I can see that he is investing the same degree of care, knowledge, and proficiency he invested as a prosecutor in each criminal case he defends. I have been thoroughly impressed with the dedication and resourcefulness he invests in the defense of his clients who face pending criminal charges. His defense to say the least is vigorous and thorough. Jim is one of the best criminal defense lawyers I have known in my seventeen years of practice as a criminal defense lawyer, and of course, I would enthusiastically and without reservation recommend Jim to anyone facing charges. He is what I call a top-drawer attorney."
