Jim Gass has done a phenomenal job on behalf of my little brother. His top-tier legal defense instincts, experience and expertise are beyond question in San Bernardino County (SBC). His stand-alone outcome differentiator of having 'won more felony jury trials than any other attorney in SBC,' speaks for itself. As a dedicated family man Jim also dedicates his time and energy to the emotional as well as legal well-being of his clients. No sooner did my little brother meet with Jim than his entire demeanor changed. Operationally, Jim maintains an excellent rapport with courtroom colleagues on both sides of the justice system aisle, as is also all-too-critical to optimizing outcomes. Jim has my most sincere thanks, and I highly recommend him for legal defense services in the SBC area.

I am also a criminal defense lawyer and have been since 1997. Jim Gass was actually one of my supervising attorneys when I was a law clerk and in the first 3 years of my practice I worked with him extensively. He supervised my first jury trial. I have represented co-defendants in cases with him. If I needed a lawyer to defend me in trial, I would move Heaven and Earth to convince Jim to represent me. I am not at all exaggerating. I have seen...I don't know...maybe thousands of criminal defense attorneys in action. I have seen criminal defense lawyers who are flashier and undoubtedly more comfortable with charging people crazy high fees because, after all, being a little full of BS is part of the business side of criminal defense. I don't know how to say this as a positive thing but, I don't think that Jim is good at convincing people to fork over their entire life savings to represent them. He should be because he really is worth it. Jim is exceptionally good in front of juries...exceptionally...really exceptionally. Are you getting that I am saying he is exceptionally good at connecting with normal types of people who end up on juries? And, the other thing good about Jim is that he doesn't come across as threatening or arrogant to prosecutors even though they know he is a threat. So, while other criminal defense lawyers may tick off prosecutors and make them want to beat the lawyer, prosecutors in the Inland Empire courts just kind of know that he WILL beat them. It is that trait that allows Jim to effectively settle cases in my opinion. I wish I could pull rabbits out of hats like Jim can. Anyone who writes a bad review doesn't know what they are talking about and I bet that most of the people who have reviewed him would give him stars that go beyond 5 if it were possible to do it. Funny but, the only reason I am writing this review is that I have a former client who I just gave Jim's information to so I had to look him up on the internet to get the number. Those people will be in good hands if they hire him.

I was being prosecuted with charges that would essentially ruin my life and my career. Out of the gate Mr. Gass had a game plan that we stuck to and not only did I avoid many years in prison for being wrongfully accused he got my case completely dropped. I would highly recommend James to anyone that is need of criminal legal council. His professionalism, communication and knowledge of law is second to none. Thank you again Mr. Gass for helping me.

A very experienced and passionate attorney. He is compassionate and good at what he does. He worked diligently on my case and everything was resolved. Amazingly to know that everyone at the court liked him. He is personable. He has a very good attorney's cost. Yours faithfully Vitus.

Jim is there for you when an unfortunate situation occurs. My family gave him a call when I was in trouble. He was honest about the kind of trouble I was in, the uphill battle we had with the DA, and advice to help my case. He was reliable and present at all my court dates. Court days are some of the longest days of your life. I don't know how to emphasize how important that is if you are incarcerated for your lawyer to show up. I witnessed many unreliable lawyers for other inmates. With prayer and Jim's expertise we resolved my case with results I was happy with. He obtained good results for my brother as well. I'll never forget that I put myself in there, and I'll never forget that James Gass helped me get out!

Attorney James Grass is an Attorney at heart... meaning that he is passionate about his job. He would listen to your concerns and answer your questions in the best professional and considerable manner, including you in every decisions or discussions he considers would be helpful. His fees are super reasonable. I felt super satisfied using his service and would recommend him to anyone that needs any related legal services.

I can only say that it was God that led us to Mr. Gass. I found myself in a situation I could have never imagined to be. I contacted Mr. Gass from a Google search and after one conversation I knew he was the man for the job. He was so knowledgeable and experienced that even while he offered hope, he also prepared me for what most likely would happen, and he was always spot on. He was able to negotiate a plea deal lowering a felony to a misdemeanor with no jail time. Had I been able to afford taking it to trial, I have no doubt he would have won there too. He negotiated the best possible outcome given the circumstances I was facing. But his work did not end there. 3 years later I have still been in contact with Mr. Gass and he has always been gracious enough to respond. All my questions and uncertainties. I feel truly honored to have been represented by him and would 10/10 recommend him to anyone. His reputation precedes him and there is no doubt as to why. He truly connects at a personal level with his clients and makes you feel protected and that he has your best interest at heart. Thank you again Mr. Gass! God bless you and the work you do.

If I could give Mr. James Gass more stars I would. I highly recommend him as your attorney. Mr. Gass has a great presence, he is compassionate, caring and he knows his job very well. My son was in a lot of trouble Mr. Gass came highly recommended and he lived up to the referral and some. He was able to help my son with the best outcome possible and I am very happy. Don’t waste your money elsewhere you found your guy. Has a long history of experience and great outcomes. I can’t thank Mr. Gass enough, he’s the best.

What started with a life-shattering 5am phone call from our son, in Mr. Gass' hands, turned into a bigger-than-life event! We came to Mr. Gass recommended by one of his colleagues (who was too close to our family to comfortably represent us), as a mentor and one of the best attorney's in the area! We were so stunned to find ourselves needing an attorney that it made his job even harder -- First of all, we couldn't figure out what happened (being recorded in every phone call meant that we didn't hear the story from our son until many months into the arrest) and throughout the whole time, we were ALL trying to have a hand in the defense plan. Mr. Gass shared with us, all that he was legally able to share, so we could begin to comprehend the situation our son was in and then, he created safe, patient, and respectful spaces for us to try and figure out what to do about the charges. I am forever grateful for the conversation he allowed us in his office, after-hours and at our convenience. It was a nightmare of divorced parents, grandparent, siblings, blaming each other and yelling about what should be done. He is a SAINT if you ask me -- for mediating that insane conversation between all of us! Being represented by Mr. Gass allowed us all to understand the realities of our legal, moral, and ethical situations so we could make the best choices possible for our defense. He predicted exactly, the DA's moves and gave us advice that, if we had followed, allowed for the least possible consequences!

The felony case against me was dismissed, thanks to the hard work and dedication of James Gass. He guided me through this difficult time. He replied to my emails, texts, and phone calls usually within an hour. He kept me informed of updates. I highly recommend James Gass for legal representation.

I would recommend Mr James Gass with full assurance that he will do what he can to get a good hearing in the court and representation based on his experience to ask you the right questions and plead your case clearly with all good evidence for you as he can. He represented me, jury found me not guilty, and his advise before, during, and after helped us come up on top to win the case!

Best Lawyer hands down. On time. Reliable. And did the best work i can possibly ask for.
