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.
My wife and I attended the rodeo this past February with a couple who are close friends of ours. Needless to say, we drank a little more than usual and took an Uber back to my house. As the night progressed on, my buddy and I got into an altercation that ended up with me making a drunken mistake and striking him in the face with my fist. Law enforcement was called to my house and I ended up being arrested for assault with bodily injury. I am a first responder, and needless to say, that kind of mark on my record would have ended my 20 yr career. When I returned home the next day, I immediately began my research to find a good attorney with a stellar background and who was also financially feasible. After hours of research, it was without question that Jim Sullivan was the man for the job.
I truly can’t say enough about this man. From the initial meeting where I shared my story to the day we were in court, Mr. Sullivan was compassionate, steadfast, and resilient to my needs and getting the case dismissed. His interaction with the district attorney was genuine while being dedicated to the mission of having these charges dropped. In the end, Mr. Sullivan fought for me, my family, and my career with an outcome better than I had imagined. The charges were dismissed. I can now continue my life in a career I am very passionate about and it is all thanks to Mr. Sullivan. Thank you, sir. You are truly the best. –Robert (Avvo review)
