I'm going to start my review by providing a little history so you'll get an idea of what kind of mess I dropped in the lap of Mr. Mayer....
In January of 2016 I was charged with DUI and possession of a small amount of marijuana in Ashland County. I was sentenced to 40 days in jail and the usual license suspension of one year. I ended up serving 13 days of that time and was released. This is where things get interesting: Less than 6 days after I was released from jail, I was at Applebys and decided the drink menu looked better than the food menu and proceeded to (yet again) drink and drive. This time, I ended up in a ditch. Not one to make rational decisions a habit, I decided it was best not to stick around considering I had no license, was drunk, and was on probation. It didn't matter. I was charged with DUI anyway, along with leaving the scene of an accident, driving under suspension.... and just to set an example for people who can't keep it between the lines, failure to control. All while being on probation for a DUI/drug charge only a few months earlier. I'm the kind of defendant a typical attorney HATES to represent because there's nothing you can do with that type of stupidity.
But James Mayer isn't typical.
He was confident and self assured right from our first conversation. This guy isn't just a great lawyer.... he could play one on TV: Well spoken and articulate, supremely confident, and has the looks, fashion sense, and charm of a soap star.
James worked the case for a few weeks..... made appearances for me so I didn't have to worry about going to court until the sentencing and disposition. When that time came, I went in front of the judge in Mansfield facing the 4 charges I mentioned previously, and I was utterly amazed at the outcome: EVERYTHING tossed out except the charge of leaving the scene. For that I was given a $75 fine... no additional suspension, no jail time, no additional probation. In a few months, my probation from Ashland County will be over, I'll have my license back, and my life has never been so tranquil. A little counseling and a new outlook has been priceless for me. James has a great deal to do with that, and if you're in a bind or need a high-powered legal bulldog in your corner, James Mayer is THE go-to guy in this area. When I was arrested I wanted the best attorney I could find, and that's exactly what I found with Jim. read more
