We had an uphill battle we couldn't compromise on, and needed a lawyer with maximum experience,…read morenetwork, skill, persistence, and availability. We researched dozens of local criminal defense lawyers, choosing the most promising to talk with in person. Mr. Griffith was high on the list with an extremely high peer rating and awards, and when making a consult appointment with him on the phone, he said "I hope you hire me." In person, he was personable and polite, not arrogantly or foolishly optimistic nor cynically defeatist. He was confident about his knowledge and if he didn't know something he'd find out without faking it. I was scared and needy; calling or visiting with questions, requests, or to verify court dates and times(recommended), and always got help ASAP. My case was ugly; child porn. Not guilty, but the accusation destroys lives and defense usually gives up or loses even when innocent. It took more than two years, we didn't give up, and we didn't lose. That took a lot of patience, effort, and skill on the part of Mr. Griffith and his helpful staff. Of dozens of lawyers we researched and the ten we saw, I'm very glad we chose Mr Griffith.

Living a thousand miles away and faced with a MUST APPEAR citation, I immediately reached out for help and luckily found Angela Walker.

The charges were reduced dramatically and I did no jail time. The expense of a PAID attorney is nothing compared to the cost of being incarcerated. Just spend the money and DO NOT fall into the public defender trap. Ms. Walker's rates are fair and affordable. You won't find a better value for legal representation that is competent. I give her service 2 thumbs up. If you live in Baldwin County (AL) and have a case---call Angela Walker.

When I came to Brett for the purpose of retaining an attorney for my case, it obviously was not a…read morehappy affair. However, throughout the entire process, Brett made my experience substantially manageable. When I did not feel very hopeful for a chance that my case would go smoothly and in my favor, Brett knew exactly what to do with his developed knowledge of the law and extensive experience in court. Initially, Brett told me all of the viable options he felt possible and gave me the option to choose what I wanted to proceed with, keeping in mind the potential consequences and how likely he felt things to play out the way we intended and wanted. He was always very upfront, concise, and easy to understand. Brett was always empathetic with how I felt and how different outcomes might affect my personal life and education/career options. Keeping my interests in mind, Brett managed to return the best possible outcome for me while minimally invading on my personal commitments. While it was difficult to appear in court because I live in New York City, Brett kept things simple and never made me appear personally for his own ease. He was easy to contact because I had two emails and his cell phone number. Additionally, he was always quick to reply to my concerns and questions, even after office hours or on weekends. I NEVER felt as though Brett had exclusive control and management of my options because he informed me at every update he received and really leveled with me as an individual to come up with and decide on challenges together. Because Brett formally worked "on the other side of things" in the courtroom, he knew the ins and outs of what was to be expected from the district attorneys or judges. He knew people personally and they also seemed to think highly of him because they were always friendly in response. This experience was crucial to my case and changed the entire outcome of what I initially thought possible. By working with me instead of "for" me, Brett took my interests and concerns to heart - he recognized how these sorts of situations are detrimental in many ways and it was obvious he cared about me succeeding in life long after my file was finalized. If I were local to the area at all, Brett would definitely be the attorney I retained consistently for any of my criminal law needs. Also, compared to other attorneys offering me "worse" potential outcomes, Brett was super affordable. He made payment quick and easy and was willing to help through consultation and the like before I had submitted payment. Although I paid all at once by credit card, he also offered payment options. If you are in the area and need genuine help concerning a criminal record/issue, Brett is the man to talk to! He will put your mind at ease and take care of everything while leaving you in control of your own file and life.

I was charged and could have served up to six months in prison along with up to a $5000 fine…read more Throughout the process Brett was very straightforward with me and didn't give me any false expectations at all. He laid out all the possibilities and made no promises. I went into the courthouse with no false expectation at all. I knew that regardless of Brett, I had committed a crime. Brett made very clear all that COULD happen under the circumstances. Brett was able to get me into into a program, without any fine at all. All I had to do is not get arrested for 12 months, and the charges were dropped. Brett is well worth his weight in gold. He saved my career and loads of money. I have never posted a yelp review before, but hopefully this serves as some sort of small thank you.

Best Criminal Defense Lawyer!…read more James Burns has represented my daughter on several cases and was able to get a positive outcome and cases dismissed. I would recommend the James Burns as a lawyer to represent as Criminal Defense Attorney. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable, very helpful, quite patient, very comforting, and exceptionally professional. With his experience and expertise in the criminal law system of FL and specifically the Pensacola/Walton area, he gave me a realistic and honest view of what my daughter would be looking at for her particular situation. He laid everything out for us in a point-blank manner. No sugar coating - which is what is needed when it comes to criminal defense. He provided the best- and worst-case scenarios and I knew from our first meeting that he would do everything in his power to ensure the most positive outcome possible for us. And he delivered! He will work aggressively on your behalf. He assured me during my initial consultations with him that these cases would be dismissed, and they were. I can tell you this, if he tells you not to worry then you do not need to worry. He gives you his personal cell phone number and tells you to call him anytime. He ALWAYS returned my calls and texts. He explained how these cases and the court proceedings would work in language that I could understand and listened, answered, and checked in regularly and explained the importance for a positive outcome. I HIGHLY recommend James Burns. I will say this--before you call the rest--call the BEST--James Burns.

This "so called attorney" is hurting many people.

Plus, on the trial day, he informed the Judge that he had another appointment scheduled so he did not even call the court appointed psychiatrist who was on stand by...basically he hurried through this case as quickly as possible not even questioning the prosecutor who presented misleading information. He also did not send the psychiatrist report to the court until one day before the trial, the Judge had to ask where the report was because he had not even received it. There were so many wrong doings from this attorney that it would take me more time to list them; I'm afraid that he is still doing the same to other clients.

Retaining Nicole Ferry was the best decision I could have ever made. I feel like the attention to my case and her ability to extract information from the opposing party was incomparable. I couldn't have had a better person on my side. She is knowledgeable, experienced, and quick thinking in the thick of it. Watching her litigate was engrossing. For lack of a better word, she demolished the opposing counsel. I had second hand embarrassment for him. I pity anyone who would try to go toe to toe with her. Her paralegals are also unmatched, they were quick to deliver whatever she requested in the middle of a hearing. They kept me on track throughout the whole process. The office manager is kind and kept me on schedule, as well. I would recommend her to anyone I care about who may be needing counsel for family matters. I will be forever grateful for everyone at Ferry and Ferry.
