I had the pleasure of having this firm serve me in a time of need. Something unexpected happened in the state of Georgia which required me to get a lawyer in order to avoid the issue sticking on my record. I did a lot of of research before I picked a firm hoping to find the best one since my fate will be in their hands and James and his team did not dissapoint. James did a phenomenal job with keeping me up to date and constant communication. This guy knows his stuff and doesn't make broken promises.
I was very pleased with the outcome. Thank you! read more

About a year ago I was charged with my second DUI. James was my attorney and I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to defend me. From the first time we met he put me at ease. He was very knowledgeable about DUI laws and answered all of my questions. In the end he took my case to trial and we won. At no point did I ever think I would lose. James was incredible, just like Perry Mason. I wish he would have represented me for my first case! read more
I would recommend James Yeargan to anyone needing sound advice and quality representation. Mr. Yeargan represented me on my first DUI case. He executed his plan of defense with painstaking focus, all the while keeping me informed of that plan and encouraging me to remain confident in it. Never once did he fail to communicate or respond to my concerns. After disabling the prosecutors complaint the city dropped the charges. read more
