Why James & Bradley

Why Choose Us

A Team, Not An Attorney

Our firm boasts multiple full-time paralegals, a dedicated investigator, and many of-counsel attorneys with which we often associate on complicated matters.

Areas of Focus

We focus on being SECOND TO NONE when it comes to drug, domestic and DWI cases. Over the years we have spent countless hours fine-tuning our approach to these areas.

Client Support

Communication with our clients and their families is paramount. While many attorneys concentrate only on the criminal case, we address every concern our clients have.

Competitive Pricing

We don’t feel that only the wealthy should be able to receive the best defense possible. We keep our prices competitive while delivering top-tier results.

Michael handled our child custody case and I’m so glad. He’s a great lawyer to have on your side, knows the laws and will fight tooth and nail for you.
