Defending Your Freedom
James Sullivan chose to become a criminal lawyer. It was not by accident. Fighting the government and defending people come natural to him—he was born into a diverse, dynamic family of conservative Baptists and liberal social activists. Unlike many colleagues who practice criminal law, Sullivan has never prosecuted anyone and never will. That is not him. His entire career is devoted to defending people accused of crimes and delinquencies.
Proven Results
James Sullivan gets results. Over the past 25 years, Sullivan has defended more than 3,000 people charged with every kind of criminal and juvenile case, including murder, aggravated robbery, drug cases, sex offenses, domestic assault and DWI.
Philosophy
James Sullivan practices criminal law with a simple philosophy. If a client says he is not guilty, and if the prosecutor will not dismiss the charge, then Sullivan advises his client that they should fight the case at a jury trial. Unlike many other attorneys, Sullivan does not try to convince an innocent person to plead guilty. Instead, Sullivan fights for his clients’ freedom and reputation.
Cares About His Clients
James Sullivan cares about his adult and juvenile clients and is concerned about their future. He frequently counsels with clients at his office for hours at a time.He listens to their concerns, answers all of their questions and discusses legal strategies. He also explains how a criminal conviction could affect them and how to get on the right path for a successful life. Because Sullivan understands that people need to honor work and family commitments, he offers afternoon, early evening and same day appointments along with free parking.
Reputation
James Sullivan has a good reputation in the legal community. Sullivan is humbled by fine lawyers who endorse him on AVVO. He is also very grateful for clients who write testimonials on his behalf. Most of his business comes from referrals from past clients and other lawyers, although it is not necessary to have a referral for him to defend you. Anyone can call Sullivan to represent them.
I owe Jim Sullivan my life. Approximately 6 months ago I was charged with and arrested for Assault Family Violence against my wife. I was faced with losing my livelihood, good reputation, and ability to earn a living in the future. From the moment I contacted Jim he was very professional, and explained every step of the process to me. He was prompt in returning my phone calls and discussed my case with me in great detail. Most importantly, he believed in my innocence and never wavered in his defense on my behalf.
Jim kept me in a positive frame of mind, and was confident that the State would have to dismiss the charges, or that I would be found Not Guilty if we went to trial. He thoroughly studied my case and compelled the State to do the right thing. On the day of the trial, the State dismissed my case without prejudice. I was so overjoyed and was overjoyed to have my life back. Jim never doubted for one minute that the outcome would be positive. I cannot thank Jim enough for his professionalism, faith in me, and relentless pursuit for justice. There should be more attorneys like him, and I would recommend his services to anyone in need of a good attorney.
Sincerely, M.J. (Avvo Review)
