Absolutely amazing staff! Very knowledgeable and professional. Use them for any legal help that you might find yourself needing. They will get you out of a tough situation.

I had the opportunity to be represented by Mr.Short and I would like to say that I was very pleased with my experience! Mr. Short went above and beyond in handling my case. What truly stood out was how much he seemed to genuinely care about me as a person, not just about winning my case. I believe he sees people for who they are instead of seeing them as just a client or someone who broke the law. The advice he gave me, felt like it was coming from a friend and it showed me that I made the right decision in choosing him. He took the time to listen, understand my concerns, and guide me through one of the most stressful times of my life with patience and kindness. His compassion and dedication gave me peace of mind, and I felt truly supported every step of the way. I couldn’t have asked for better representation and would highly recommend Mr. Short to anyone in need of not just an excellent lawyer, but a caring advocate.

Mr. Short represented me for my divorce. I have been nothing but pleased with the service from him and his assistant! You can tell he is very informed and he always made sure that all of my questions were answered. I would highly recommend him and would definitely work with him again in the future if need be!

They’ll charge you the consult fee, take your money and tell you to pay for another more expensive consult, after he tells you tell you they have no time for you.

Mr. Short was a very receptive and attentive counselor who provided great insight and reassurance into our case. I appreciate his meeting outside of normal business hours as he was aware of my work schedule. I would highly recommend.

Mr Short and his secretary were very responsive and helpful. He recommended I do some things to help with my case. He showed up promptly before the court hearing and quickly got my reckless speeding (20 over in a bad spot that’s heavily patrolled) reduced to improper driving.

Mr Short is world class, goes step by step with you through the process ans keeps you calm and level headed. Follow exactly what he tells you, and it will save your record, sanity, and time. Mr short I can't thank you enough again!

We had a friend who skipped out on probation when he was released back in 2020. He has been incarcerated for almost 2 months. We drove from NC for the hearing and James explained everything in detail from the best case scenario to the worst, depending on the Judge. He later told us he liked the judge and that there was a good chance our friend would get out that day. Everything went just as he said and we were able to take him back to NC that evening. James was great, he did not sugar coat anything and we could not be more happy with the result. If you are looking for a great lawyer this is the one. Thanks James.
