I received a Pink Summons violation (under penal code) with a short window to the scheduled arraignment date. Attorney James Shalley handled it expertly, resulting in the Judge dismissing the case and sealing the public record with no court fees or fines. It will not appear on future background checks. I found Attorney Shalley online. His website was unique in providing rich and clear legal and procedural explanations for people who received NYC Summons. I also liked his honest tone. He responded to me promptly over the weekend. After initial emails and conversations, I hired him using his simple online form. Later he was prepared and efficient in preparing my defense, requesting additional information, and calming my nerves prior to appearing for me. The NYC court system is disorganized, error prone and intimidating. I strongly recommend taking advantage of his expertise rather than going it alone.

James Shalley is attentive, caring, and gives his all to his clients. He is extremely thorough and really helped me at a low point. I strongly recommend him to others! Thank you James Shalley!

My 20 years old daughter visited New York for the first time in her life alone during a spring break and made a mistake of trespassing in an area that was prohibited. She was lost and didn't realized where she was going. She was charged with trespassing and was summoned for a court appearance. However, She lives in Seattle so It was not possible to make it to the court in time. Mr. Shalley helped her charge to be dismissed and took care of her case so that it won't show on her record. We are eternally grateful for his help and his kindness. We were very lucky to have found him. Thank you!!!!!

Mr Shalley helped me a great deal in my case. I was arrested for possession of a controlled substance and Mr Shalley got my charge dropped to a disorderly conduct which is a violation and not a crime. This is not on my record thanks to Mr Shalley. 5 years later I needed some information with my case regarding immigration and Mr Shalley responded to my email and answered my questions in a very positive and timely manner. I would definitely recommend James Shalley as your attorney.

James Shalley helped me when I did not know where to go. I was traveling through the US and needed his services. He explained everything that I needed to know in great detail. He was able to handle the case for me while I was not in the country. It was a great comfort to know that I had someone working for me who was experienced and knew what he was doing. All ended well.

Mr. Shalley really helped our family when no one else would. He believed in us and helped us get through a very difficult situation.
