I hired Mr. Polyak to represent myself in a legal matter. Upon meeting Mr. Polyak for a consultation he was very eager to learn about all aspects of the case and was very forthcoming with what he thought he was able to accomplish for my. After agreeing to take my case, Mr. Polyak and his staff were very helpful, in explaining the court process and rescheduling my court dates to make it easier for me and to prevent as much loss of work for the appointments as possible. On the day of court, he arrived early and spoke to me about the case one last time and told me what to expect and how to handle myself in the courtroom. With Mr. Polyak's experience he was able to get all the charges levied against me dropped, which was the best outcome possible. Mr. Polyak knows his stuff and will prove it for you to.

His skill set is unmatched he is willing to go above and beyond and do his due diligence to get the best results for all his client's. He is resilient, decided, determined and well connected.

I was in a situation that did not look good in regards of opportunity to fight the situation I was in. Rather, Jim and I had the task of leveraging facts and my character/history to achieve the best possible outcome the law provided for my sentencing. Jim was professional, understanding, compassionate, realistic and he and his staff were easy and wonderful to work with. I hope to never again need a lawyer but I won't use or recommend anyone else.

I hired attorney James Polyak because I had heard about his work beforehand. He was able to turn a six month sentence into a 5 day stint. If I was charged with the full time of 6 months I would have been jobless and possibly homeless. I thank god everyday for this man and also the lesson I was able to learn. If anytime someone would need a lawyer I can promise you he is the way to go. Very honest man.

I was looking at serious jail time, and I heard about Mr. Polyak from a friend. I liked that Mr. Polyak was straight to the point at first. Every time I went to court he made me feel relaxed. He fought hard against the DA and his closing argument was astonishing. With all his efforts my charges got dismissed for a third dui!! He is the best lawyer in Berks County.

I can't put into words the respect I have gained for Mr. Polyak within the last 2 weeks. A family friend amongst others I have spoken too highly recommended Mr. Polyak after put myself in a situation with mandatory jail time. Already being a habitual offender I knew I had to hire a top attorney and I made the right choice, Mr. Polyak kept me informed with every interaction he made with the A.D.A and other court officials..he went above and beyond at the last moment cleaning up any confusion from my last attorney! I now consider Jim a friend and I will be sure to recommend him to all friends and strangers alike.

Mr. Polyak is phenomenal attorney to have. He’s well dressed, honest, tells you how it is, and doesn’t mess around. You could weeks (months in my case) without hearing from him but when he calls you know why you waited so long. Things get done. He can be a little direct at times but that’s exacly what someone in my situation needed in this case. By the end of it and everything was said and done I felt like James was a friend. A genuinely good man and I would recommend him to anyone no matter how severe your charges are.

I got into a little legal & he helped another family member that was looking at a long time at a state prison and he did his thing with him so I knew I should reach out to him to represent me. He represented me, he was honest, he did not cut corners, and he told me what it was and wasn't going to be. He defended me to no end and had all charges dropped, he helped me, I can't thank him enough. He is very well-spoken, polite, personable, and we'll dressed. He staff is very nice and welcoming. I recommend him to anyone that has any legalities.

I was falsely accused of lying on a gun application. I explained to the authorities that this was a genuine misunderstanding; a clerical error. The DA did not want to hear anything but a guilty plea. My explanation fell upon "deaf" ears and I was charged with Unsworn Falsification of Documents. I was told if I tried to fight this charge (which would result in a MINIMUM of 1 year probation and a $1,000 fine) I would be charged with felony Perjury. Fortunately, I found Attorney Polyak. He had seen this situation before and I felt like I was in good hands from the moment we met. With Jim Polyak's relentless, hard work, he was able to convince the judge of my innocence. He was able to change my original guilty plea to a small fine and nothing on my record. Attorney Polyak is a true professional with great experience, confidence, and knowledge of the law. I will recommend EVERYONE I know who needs a criminal attorney to James M. Polyak. I can never thank him enough!
