To quote James: “I believe the most important duty of a criminal Defense Attorney is to be a good communicator. You must be able to fully explain to the client, to negotiate with the prosecutor and most importantly, tell the client’s story to a jury. Yes, you have to know the law, be prepared and fully see the total picture of all actions and consequences, but if you don’t communicate, then it is all wasted. My staff and I place this communication as a number one priority.”
