What can I say. Mr. Short and his Paralegal Karen were beyond awesome! I was over my head in my divorce, confused and pretty much lost. Mr. Short was able to ease my mind and recommend a plan that worked out great. He and Karen were always willing to help and we're always professional. I would highly recommend his practice for your legal matters!

James Short is a really good lawyer i iighly recommend him . He really cares and puts in the effort to help you. He listens to your side and makes the best decisions for your case. I couldn't be happier. He even gave me some of my money back because the case went so smooth

Mr.Short and his staff were very professional and extremely helpful every step of the way through my sons trial. Mr Short is very knowledgeable and respectful. He seemed to know exactly what advice to give for each step of our long road. Not only are they professional Mr Short himself called to speak to us directly, he has a personal touch with each client. We can’t thank him enough and definitely would recommend him to anyone who asked.

Attorney Short has been wonderful from start to finish. Clear communication, expert advice and he always replies in a timely manner. Mr. Short was able to facilitate matters on my behalf while I was out of state and Karen was also outstanding assisting with the process. !

honest and fair man

Attorney Short assisted me with my custody and visitation case. What sealed the deal for me retaining him as my lawyer was primarily due to his fair-minded qualities and candidness . The service he provides to his clients are immeasurable due to his knowledge and wisdom. If you are looking for someone to work for you during a stressful time, Attorney Short and Karen are your team! Thank you for all your hard work!

My son was charged with Reckless Driving-Speeding and Racing. This was the first time he has ever been in any trouble therefore I didn’t know how to pick a Lawyer. I found Mr. Short online and decided to pick him due to all the positive reviews I read. I can honestly say that the reviews were all true. He told us the truth and he made this a very easy process. He took time to learn about my son and our family. He stayed in contact with us leading up to court and checked on my son a few days after court. I noticed after the court cases ended, clients went one way and Attorneys the other, but not Mr . Short. He stayed with us until we were finished at the Clerks desk and was ready to exit the building. This is not just a job for him. He truly cares about his clients. If you are looking for an Attorney who is not in it just for the money and really cares about his clients, then Mr. Short is your man.

Mr Short is a awesome attorney he built trust with in the first few minutes being with him and was able to affectively turn our case felony to misdemeanor with a livable out come. We would recommend him to anyone in need.

Mr. James Short is dedicated and motivated. He listens to your input and also gives you great input to come up with a solution to winning your case. His honesty and knowledge about criminal and divorce is why I chose Mr. Short and I'm glad I did. Ms. Karen his paralegal is top notch, easy to talk to and does her job well. When you speak to many lawyers you will know the ones that has your best interest in mind. Thank you Brother and please continue doing what you do.

Very informative and skilled lawyer. Had great reviews for handling similar cases for my son's. Communication was great, always receive a return call if not readily available. If not fully dismissing, he definitely lessens the charges. Just wished more digging of loopholes or questioning of the officer's actions leading to arrest. Still recommend!

My mom, the matriarch of our family, wife of 65 years, and mother of 10, had a rare ischemic stroke in Aug 2017, which left her hospitalized for the last year and my dad to pick up the pieces with my assistance, as his POA. Although my mom recently passed, I wanted to share my experience with Attorney James Short because it could help somebody else. As you know, tragedies bring out the worst in people, especially large families. Shortly after my mother’s stroke, I encountered a serious altercation with two of my brothers that turned violent and left me desecrated with false charges. I met Attorney James Short through the Virginia Lawyer referral service. When I talked to Attorney Short for the first time, he was very clear, concise, and complete in his analysis of my case. He informed me of the challenges and risks I was facing based on the direction i chose of the options he presented. Attorney Short and his staff’s handling of my case was impeccable! They were available when I needed to ask questions or just to vent, as this was a very traumatic event in me and my family’s lives. His legal assistant, Karen, was very professional, helpful and responsive throughout the entire process. In addition, customer service was awesome. Attorney Short was able to get all parties involved to come to an amicable agreement, which left me free of the false charges that could have ruined my clean criminal history. Attorney Short’s biggest attribute is his ability to present his clients with a well rounded perspective of their case and he doesn’t sugar coat the truth to gain business. In the courtroom, He is thorough, exudes confidence, and communicates with excellence in his presentation. In addition, his fees are fair market value and his knowledge and familiarity with the court system exceeds expectation, which makes it well worth the cost in regards to the level of service and support received in return. I’d highly recommend Attorney James Short to my family or friends and hope that he’d be available in the event I had another criminal matter to deal with in the state of Virginia.
