I am a longstanding physician in the Chesapeake community. I recently had a dispute that I sought out Jim's help on. His expertise proved to be invaluable. He listened to my concerns, and later resolved the issue with minimal fanfare. I would highly recommend him. Thanks again Mr Short! Doug Montagna

Mr. Short has been my lawyer for several years now, and has always been well worth the expense. If you need a lawyer that shoots straight and is honest with you, call Mr. Short.

Top Defense Lawyer in Virginia If you need a top defense attorney who is professional, trust worthy, articulate and equitable then look know further. Jim has an exceptional work ethic and leverages all of his resources available to resolve any legal issues. Our family had a need to use Jim as a lawyer and he went way above and beyond our expectations and was able to get our case dismissed. If you need a lawyer in Virginia, I highly recommend Jim Short.

Mr. Short is an extremely personable attorney and was the only reason I was able to get my traffic violation from reckless to speeding. When first meeting with him I felt like I was meeting with a friend/family member and that's because he's 100% invested in your best interests. If you're looking to resolve any criminal defense, DUI and DWI, family, social security, or guardianship disputes in Hampton Roads give him a call.

Mr. Short was the difference between my winning and losing custody of my daughter. I would recommend him to anyone needing legal help. Not only did he win my case but he kept me grounded and focused throughout the entire process. He helped me remember that the important thing was my daughter and her needs. He gave me opinions and options throughout. He was knowledgable and excellent in the courtroom. He just knew what to ask and what not to and the result was better than I could have ever hoped. If you are looking for an attorney who truly cares about you and is responsive and available when you need him you can't go wrong with Jim.

Mr. Short did a wonderful job reducing my traffic court charge, and it was an absolute pleasure working with him. Always kind and professional while being completely knowledgeable, he turned the onus of a court case into a total breeze. I am very grateful for his help in my case and highly recommend him to anyone else in need of a traffic defense attorney.

Jim Short has represented my business for decades and I have recommended him to both friends and relatives needing personal representation. I cannot speak more highly than to say I have always found him to be a man of both high integrity and compassion. Whenever I've needed good advice, I could always count on Jim Short.

James represented me in a Possesion / Disordely case. It would have effected my Security Clearence to participate in Military Contracts, possible probation, lose of licenses, and yes, even jail time. James was able to have one charge dropped and the other reduced to "Paraphernalia" . Knowledge and experience have an incredible advantage in the Legal Industry and James posses both as he has experience as a State Prosecutor now Criminal Defense Attorney. A very nice resume for a man with friends in high places, and a man who knows the law ! Your on the right page, James E. Short, PLC a proven WINNER !!

Mr. Short is a great person and has an outstanding office to handle your legal needs. My experience with him and his practice went above and beyond all of my expectations. Mr. Short is friendly, very informative and always puts his clients first. He is willing to do whatever it takes to help his clients, and I will always refer my friends and family to his office.

James Short is the consummate professional! He was very polite and thorough as he helped me with a traffic violation. I would strongly recommend James for your legal needs!

Two thumbs up when it comes to this gentlemen. Jimmy Short was very professional, very caring and concerned, and very optimistic and truthful. He is a very knowledgeable person, and when his words calm your nerves you will know you are in good hands. I was extremely happy with the way he handled my case, especially after the verdict. After all was said and done, I definitely could not complain. Who knows where I would be, without Jimmy. -j0sh

The first day I met Mr. Short I could tell that he was not in it for the money like other attorneys I had previously sought. I immediately felt that he truly cared about his clients. I was in the middle of a divorce that had already drug on for about 3 years. He was extremely empathetic and sympathetic yet was in it to do what it took to get the job done. Needless to say I am now divorced. Not only have I gained a great attorney that I trust but, I have also gained a friend. I would highly recommend Mr. Short as an attorney to anyone!
