and delinquencies.

and DWI.

Jim Sullivan
practices criminal law with a simple philosophy. If a client says he is
not guilty, and if the prosecutor will not dismiss the charge, then Jim
Sullivan advises his client that they should fight the case at a jury
trial. Unlike many other attorneys, Jim Sullivan does not try to
convince an innocent person to plead guilty. Instead, Jim Sullivan
fights for his clients’ freedom and reputation.

Board Certified in Juvenile Law
As an attorney myself, when concerns arose over an incident involving my son, I knew the extreme importance of finding an attorney who is Board Certified in juvenile law. Board Certified lawyers are highly specialized - enough that the State recognizes them for their expertise. My search led me to Jim Sullivan and I cannot thank him enough. He is extremely well-versed in this highly specialized area of law, kind, compassionate and non-judgmental. He spent a great deal of time understanding the incident involving my son and providing us guidance. Thankfully, it appears that this will turn out to only be a "learning opportunity" for my son but, I have Jim's number in my phone and will call him immediately if the need arises. ~Concerned Mom (Yahoo Directory Review)
