I was in a fight in millerburg at a race track. No lawyers wanted to take the case because of the jurisdiction it was in. I contacted a lawyer and he referenced mr haupt who called Me. Under Ohio law 2905.1 section B I had EVERY right to stand my ground and protect myself and anyone in my party from danger that had occurred I even teyed to defuse the situation before throwing the punch that ended the situation. Me and Mr haupt went back and fourth for months. I gave him evidence I was protecting the people. Video proof. Voice recording from the person i protected stating I was defending her. It should have been an open close case. Mr haupt basically told me I was pleading guilty and slid my final payment back to me in the lobby of the court before trial (I have my cousin as a witness to this). When we went in he didn’t even attempt to fight for me he let me take a guilty plea because we agreed on the probation terms that I could use my medical marijuanna card due to the accident that occurred because of the courts (I was ran over coming back to my town from having to check in) before I was even coherent enough to go to court a month after my brain injury I had to plead guilty to the offense. After being on probation for one year they are changing my originally agreed to terms and taking my medication away from me. I tryed to reach out for help and Mr haupt has yet to respond even tho he told me that day to contact him in 9 months and he would get my probation dropped. I would represent myself in court before I would hire him to do anything other then file a motion.

First off i want to start by saying I think Jim is the best defense Attorney in stark County hands down he's like a pit bull in the courtroom he leaves know Stones Unturned he's very thorough i was charged with a F3 burglary and a theft which is a misdemeanor this has took 8 months out of my life not to mention all the money that it has cost me and I haven't slept in 8 months so today I was found not guilty of all charges so to all that reads this review if you retain Jim as your attorney you can't go wrong it's the best decision that you could have ever made

Jim defended me in a sexual assault case that we won unanimously no debate. I was falsely accused. He is a good lawyer, he is patient with you, lets you give your opinion, has resourceful connections to assist you, a calm level headed person and fights for his clients. He keeps a tight defense as well, anything that can be used against you possibly he makes sure he doesn’t use it. If the state is trying to beat him they will really have to EARN it, he isn’t gonna give them ANYTHING. The best thing is he tells you the absolute truth. He doesn’t just tell you “you’re gonna win the case” just to get your money just like most lawyers do. He lets you know what you’re facing and tells you he is gonna put in effort. He is careful with his words and doesn’t try to make promises he can’t keep. Jim gave me a free consultation and even gave me some immediate advice before I even hired him that helped me beat my case in my opinion. If I wouldn’t have listened to his advice I would’ve probably lost my case because no matter if you’re innocent or not the police don’t care, they just want an conviction. He catches details that many may gloss over to help you. I had many people testify against me and he made all of them look like fools. Police and detectives included. He also is liked by alot of people in the courthouse which MATTERS ALOT. To everyone Anybody dissatisfied with his communication, his communication method is more old school, its best to text him asking what time is best to meet or when you can call than to text him about small things. He’ll remember whatever you text when you talk though.

My significant other was facing up to 5 charges, James was able to drop it down to one charge. James was always well presented, well structured. He was passionate, knowledgeable, on time, and very helpful. James had managed to really help my fiance, I would highly recommend James to anyone looking for a great attorney. James kept his communication with us the entire time and we were able to rest assure that he would get the job done which he did. GREAT GREAT GREAT ATTORNEY!!!

James talked a good story but he didn't fight for us. He was late to court dates or postponed. He advised to plead guilty telling us house arrest and we ended up with 2.5 years mandatory prison and revoked license for life. It was an accident that took a life but no drugs or alcohol and it was not reckless driving. But our attorney didn't try to prove any of that. Dont use this guy. Keep looking

I really enjoyed having James as a lawyer im glad I found him he was easy to work with and he's knows his stuff he helped me threw the whole process till it was over, very perfessional dude. I was charged with some pretty serous stuff and he got me out of it.

Look no farther if you need a lawyer in his area! You could tell he knew most of the people at the court house and this was his ball court! He did exactly what he said he could do! We spoke with several lawyers and the majority said it was impossible to get done what Mr. Haupt did. 5/5 100%

Jim Houpt was a very professional attorney during my court case. I was involved in a domestic violence case that he could have had dropped but I chose a different route for personal reasons. Then after the case he went the extra mile to help with things that were on the back burner. He has helped out multiple friends of mine in cases far worse than mine with also positive outcomes. He may not answer your phone calls but he will return text messages. You have to remember you're probably not his only client a text message gets things done phone calls intrude on getting things done. He even took time on Christmas Eve to resolve a different matter that was not part of the case. Thank God for lawyers like Jim Houpt.

Mr James Haupt Jr is what any and all attorneys should strive to be. He is honest, straightforward, motivated, and dedicated to providing the best defense to his clients. The only thing that is required of you is to be honest with him. Mr. Haupt has an excellent work ethic and moral compass that shows in everything he does. The recommendation of Mr Haupt to me as my attorney has been blessing to my family and me. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. James Haupt Jr to anyone in need of legal help.

First and foremost, disregard any negative reviews you may have seen or read about Attorney Haupt... they could not be more beyond the scope of reality. None of them are even close to relevant according to my experience. I have had to use other lawyers in my life for other circumstances and they were great. But, Jim was the best. He went above and beyond when I needed him the most. He would ALWAYS call me back and / or reply to my texts. He even has texted me way after normal working hours to update me on my case. He also worked on my case all hours of the day and night. He also took my call and met me on a Sunday for a consult. He is aggressive and a fantastic negotiator. That only happens if you know the facts and proof of the case, in which he did. Not only did his hard work get me the lowest penalty possible but he was extremely down to earth and personable the whole time. God forbid I never need a criminal defense lawyer again, but if I did, he would be the first person I would call. Even after my case was resolved, he still answers my calls if I need advice. Not only is he a great attorney but he is a great person. I am genuinely grateful I was even able to meet him. I say good luck in finding a lawyer with all of those qualities. If you are in need for an impeccable attorney, he is the perfect candidate. Also remember, we all make mistakes and that does not define who we are as human beings. Stay strong, confident, positive, and call Jim Haupt today!
