Thank you Jim for handling my case with understanding, compassion and professionalism. I am Human, I made a mistake and Jim Dearie helped me through it. I promised myself never to meet Jim under those circumstances again but if I or anyone ever needs legal help, I would definitely recommend Jim Dearie. Thank you Jim! BT

A few years ago, my chronically ill daughter was reported as truant by her school, and a case was brought against her, my husband, and myself. Even though I am an attorney, I knew I needed a lawyer with the right experience and skill to help us out of a very stressful and delicate situation. Jim was exactly the attorney we needed. He was thorough, dedicated, and truly cared about my very ill daughter. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a competent attorney--and I do, whenever I get the chance! He is excellent.

Jim Dearie really fought for me when it looked like I had zero chance of beating a shoplifting charge that could have completely ruined my life. I had priors but the charge was unwarranted and I did not intentionally do anything wrong. Unfortunately it is really hard to convince people of the truth when they are so focused on past faults. Jim believed in me and fought for months for a good outcome. We eventually reached an agreement where I could have the charge expunged after one year. No jail time no probation. It was the absolute best I could have hoped for. He was really determined and listened to my needs throughout the entire process. He was great with communication and always there when I needed him. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in need.

Jim counseled our adult son, my wife and I about 4 yrs ago. Our son was struggling with some difficult legal issues at the time and Jim's advice eventually lead to the successful resolution of these issues. We are very thankful for his help and sound advice during this stressful time for our family.
