I would recommend Mr Barnes to anyone that’s in need of an excellent professional fire cracker attorney, Mr Barnes will fight with everything he has in his powers in that court room for his clients, he will not go for just any sentence that they throw at him, and his Paralegal Elizabeth she’s another fire cracker just like Barnes there both excellent people to work with and there a great team. I recommend this law firm with my eyes closed. Believe me you my son was facing a lot of years and Mr Barnes got him time served, I wouldn’t hire any other attorney than Mr Barnes. I made the BEST CHOICE OF MY LIFE HIRING Mr Barnes.

I couldn't be happier with my decision to hire James Barnes. He delivered exactly what I needed to resolve my case.

I was referred to Mr. Barnes by a friend who had a similar case to mine, who had received great results. Jim was highly professional and consultative, and advised me on the best way to proceed which ended with my case getting dismissed. Very pleased with the results and would highly recommend his services to anybody looking for the highest level of criminal defense representation.

When looking for a criminal defense attorney, I highly recommend Mr. James Barnes. He genuinely cares for all people and their right to a fair representation. He took my case, listened to what happen and immediately recognized the illegal treatment to which I had been subjected. His quick thinking, action and hard work got my case dismissed.

I along with my spouse hired Mr. Barnes on behalf of my grandson who was charged with a Battery on a Person 65 or Older, a 3rd Degree Felony. The person alleged to have been assaulted was my spouse of more than 40 years and it did not happen. Prior to hiring Mr. Barnes I spoke with a close family member who is the Trial Chief for the Public Defender's Office in a major metropolitan city. I was provided a list of qualities that I along with my spouse should look for in a attorney prior to making a decision to hire one for my grandson. A few of those qualities were: 1. Criminal Law Experience. Ck - 30 plus years; 2. Connection to Local Community. Ck - Long Time Resident of Northwest Florida; 3. Caring and Understanding. Ck; 4. Good Communication Skills. Ck.. 5. Willingness to listen. Ck; Compassion for clients. Ck.. After meeting with Mr. Barnes we made a decision to hire him for my grandson and my grandson was in agreement that Mr. Barnes was the right choice. Mr. Barnes was able to convince the State Attorney to announce a Nolle Prosequi with respect to the charge against my grandson. My family and I are thankful that Mr. Barnes accepted my grandson's case and grateful that he was able to convince the State Attorney to resolve the case in the manner it was resolved. Additionally, we're thanking Mr. Barnes' Paralegal Elizabeth Broome. We would highly recommend Mr. Barnes to anyone seeking legal representation in a criminal case.

I was charged with a felony I didn't commit. Jim listened to me intently during our consultation and was able to get my case dismissed before I knew it. If you're scared like I was, he will calm your fears and take care of you throughout the process. Hire James Barnes, he's the best!

We never had any experience with attorneys so we had no clue what to look for when we needed one in a criminal case. In short, we hired three different attorneys and one consulting firm before finding Mr. Barnes. He immediately went to work correcting all the mess the others left behind and getting a strong case put together. We are so grateful for the work Mr. Barnes and Elizabeth put in to rescue us from the other attorneys and their lack of experience and concern in our case. Without Mr. Barnes the outcome would have been devastating to life and liberty. It is not an exaggeration to say he saved us. He is compassionate and educated but beyond that he is passionate about fighting for his

James is an excellent attorney. My case went exactly as he planned and we got the outcomes we hoped for. You can trust you've made a good decision when you hire James Barnes.

Mr. Barnes was great every step of the way. His confidence in his abilities and communication throughout the process made a hard time in my life much easier. I’m very thankful for the hard work that Mr. Barnes put into my case and am very happy with the outcome. I couldn’t recommend him more. Thank you Mr. Barnes!
