Chances are if you are reading this you (or someone close to you) requires criminal representation for a serious legal matter (local or federal) in the Jacksonville, Florida area. Your probably wondering who to call and how it all works. Don't make the mistake of calling some random firm that promises the sun, moon and the stars and delivers nothing or next to nothing except large legal bills. Call Tassone, Dreicer & Hill and ask for Attorney James Hill or one of his partners. James and his firm have represented me in 4 separate (yes four) separate legal entanglements over the years and have WON for me each time with stellar results. From the moment that you consult with James and all throughout your case you will receive regular status updates either from James directly (via email, voice or text) or from his highly proficient staff. And when I say proficient I mean every call / email / communication acknowledged and answered. The firm also has a 24/7/365 answering service should you require legal representation after hours. (It happens). But that's just the beginning. The real magic happens in the courtroom and behind the scenes. As you (or whomever you are helping) sit nervously waiting for your case to be called the relief you will experience having James beside you, fighting for you, is indescribable. In an ocean of legal confusion, you'll have clarity and calmness. His courtroom style, effectiveness, relationships and highly respectful demeanor extend not only to clients but to every officer of the court. As such he receives the same respect back. From Bailiffs to Judges I've seen it with my own eyes. The court (meaning the Prosecutor and Judge) is open and receptive to negotiating with James on your behalf. This is what you want when you’re in trouble. It's such a developed and earned skill and is truly impressive to witness. Billing is reasonable for the superior legal representation provided and straight forward - no hidden surprises or mystery invoices. To the team at Tassone, Dreicer & Hill legal fees are a business formality. Winning for their clients and providing unparalleled legal representation is their driving force. James Hill represents what every criminal lawyer / trial attorney should be. His firm deserves equal praise. 100 stars would not be enough for this competent, knowledgeable top-notch lawyer. Many, many thanks to James and his entire team for without them I would not be sitting here today to write this review.

Thank you, James for your professionalism and amazing representation with my son's case. We are very happy and impressed with the results! We could not have asked for better legal representation. Excellent legal representation is worth its weight in gold and you handled our case with great knowledge, professionalism and genuine compassion. I 100% will recommend you to my family and friends should the need arise.

Where do I begin? James and Greta were outstanding. I was battling the thought of dissolution of marriage and once I made up my mind and spoke with James, I knew I was in good hands. Less than 30 days and I am officially divorced and beginning a new chapter. Even during this stressful time with the global pandemic, james and his team ensured I felt comfortable, confident and ready. I always felt like their top priority and their responsiveness and organization is second to none. You will be in the best hands with this amazing team. I cannot thank them enough. Do yourself a favor and look no further, this IS the right lawyer and firm for you!

Words can not truly express how happy I was & am with my attorney James Hill! I hired Mr. Hill to handle my dissolution of marriage case in November 2017. Mr. Hill and his law office were very courteous & professional through my whole process. I was able to call, text, and email with any questions,issues, and concerns at anytime. As his client I was always aware and involved with the decisions made in my case. It was not an easy process, but they made it very smooth as their client. If you are looking for a great and professional family law attorney, then James Hill is your man!

When I hired Mr Hill I was looking at being put back in jail after spending a ton of money to get out..He saw that I was a working father of 15 yrs and knew that I was a blue collar worker who was not rich..He worked with me and completely fought to keep me free and working..By the third court appearance he argued my case so well that it was dismissed..I well never hire another attorney Who is not Named James P. Hill for any other reason..He is absolutely a great attorney and has an extremely great work ethic..

I was facing a possible felony charge of credit card fraud. The police showed up to my apartment and had showed me where I signed off for a fraud pick-up order. I honestly thought they were going to arrest me then and there, but they didn't. That's when I hired James. I waited roughly 4 days to hear from him about whether the lead investigator was able to put a warrant out for my arrest (since this all happened towards the end of the week). But the possibility of a warrant was shot down by a prosecutor and thrown out....it was music to my ears. And the case was essentially closed due to lack of evidence. I no longer had to think about the high chances of going to jail for a day, dishing out even more money for bond, court fees, sealing and expunging, etc. Seriously James, you're the effin' BEST and you really worked hard for me. I won't be getting in anymore trouble ever again or associating myself with this any longer.

During the darkest hour for my family Attorney James Hill was there for us and my teenage son. He was recommended by a friend, I called his mobile around 7:30-8pm Wednesday Jan. 6, 2016, I left a message, and he promptly returned my phone call. His approach to the case was professional, compassionate, honest, and open at all times. He always returned our emails, text, and phone calls. My son made a 14yr old foolish, illogical, "what were you thinking???" decision that could have ruined his entire life. Attorney Hill fought this case as if my son was his son, and we are grateful he was our Attorney. I pray we never need his services again, however, I know he's only a phone call, email, or text away.

Ok, so this is the first review I have ever written….not sure why since I’m an avid review reader. In fact, that is how I came across James Hill. After reading all his great reviews online, I called his office and was able to schedule an appointment with him the very next morning. I was arrested the day before on two charges, one being a felony. Hiring an attorney was new to me since I’ve never been in serious trouble with the law so I was clueless on what to expect. What I did know is that lawyers are not free, so on top of the worry over my recent arrest and the possibility of me going to jail, I was stressing on how I was going to come up with the money to pay his fee. Needless to say, I was an emotional basket case when I walked into his office the next morning. I spent the first several minutes explaining my situation and the accusations against me and he listened with empathy and understanding. I never once felt judged or that I was just another case, he genuinely made me feel like this was just as important to him as it was to me. James Hill is not only one of the coolest, kindest and most down to earth people I have ever met, he is a true professional and excellent at what he does. He doesn't make false promises just to earn your business. He took the time to properly evaluate my situation and reassured me that he would do what he could to make this as painless as possible. I hired him immediately…his fees were a lot less than I’d thought and that was another stressor that was lifted from my shoulders that day. Throughout the process he was very communicative, he returned my calls and emails immediately. He shared all of his strategies as well as told me what to expect in worst case scenario terms which was important to me because I like being prepared. And although my stress levels were really high, he always found a way to relieve my tension and make me feel hopeful and positive about the circumstances. Every time I talked to him or received an email from him, it was like the burden got that much lighter. Overall, he was able to get one of the charges dropped and had the felony reduced to a simple misdemeanor with only community service. I was more than satisfied and can't be more thankful to Mr. Hill for all his hard work. He has vast knowledge of the law and will jump through hoops to keep you out of jail. Highly recommend! Hopefully I'll never need his help again, but if I do I know I'd be in great hands.

Mr. Hill isn't like most attorneys. He took my case and handled it with care. He treated it like it was as if it were as important to him as it was to me. He treated my family and I with the utmost respect. He was always available to answer any questions with absolute honesty. He went above and beyond what I was expecting.
