Mr. Short handled two cases for my family. In both of them he was highly knowledgeable and quick to respond if we had any questions. Great to work with and works very hard to get your case settled. I would highly recommend Mr Short for your legal needs.

I am incredibly grateful for my criminal defense attorney, James Short and his receptionist, JoAnne. From the very beginning, they brought clarity and calm to what was one of the most stressful times in my life. They were clear, concise, organized, and extremely thorough, making sure I always understood what was happening and what to expect next. What truly sets them apart is their compassion. I never felt like just another case โ€” I felt genuinely cared for. JoAnne was consistently kind, patient, and responsive, and her follow-up made a world of difference. My attorneyโ€™s dedication, professionalism, and strong representation gave me confidence and peace of mind when I needed it most. This team goes above and beyond for their clients. If you are looking for not only exceptional legal representation but also people who truly care, I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Mr. Short and his staff, provided excellent legal services throughout our case. He was consistently attentive, responsive, and available to answer our calls and questions at all times. He kept us well informed at every stage of the process, clearly explaining upcoming steps and expected outcomes. The results achieved were satisfactory, and his guidance gave us confidence throughout the case. We are very satisfied with his services and would highly recommend him.

Took a plea deal from his suggestion and it has ruined a lot. I should have went to trial.

I hired Mr. Short hoping for strong legal representation during a small domestic issue(pouring beer on an ex who really deserved it). The service I received was profoundly disappointing and resulted in a traumatic experience. Instead of fighting for me, I felt completely abandoned and unsupported. He also thought my sentenceing was fare. I had to report to a parole officer randomly, weekly domestic abuse classes, and 1 year of probation. Not to mention all the money spent on those places when i had to attend. I beg you to find counsel elsewhere. It will save you time and money.

Mr. Short has helped my family many times, he is very professional and gives honest feedback. He will tell you the best route to go considering all options for your needs. He is very knowledgeable and will always keep your best interest as priority. Mr. Short will remain our "go-to" guy when it comes to needing an attorney, and if he feels he isn't the right guy for the job, he will surely put you in the right hands. We appreciate Mr. Short and I will continue to encourage people to contact him when they are in need of any legal matters.

Mr. Short has recently represented my daughter in an assault matter and was great to work with. I personally have known Mr. Short for many, many years and know he has a great reputation and is an excellent attorney. He was very involved in the details of the case and was able to work out a great outcome.
