Law Office Of James Dunn

james and his associates and those in his office are great! I was pleased with their promptness in my matter and ability to meet very quickly on such short notice. they attended to my needs in great effectiveness, efficiency, and answered all of my questions. they were very thorough in the entire process. I particularly appreciated them keeping in contact with me even though they were quite busy and had other cases to attend to. james and his associates constantly reached out to me, checked up on me, and updated me
on my matters. needless to say, I will be recommending them to any friends or anyone I know if they ever need a representative! this office will definitely be my to-​go-​to office in times
of any need. I highly recommend this office!

My first DUI lawyer for the same case and who was highly recommended, cost twice as much as Jim Dunn, could not close the case like Jim did, was unavailable to be reached on his personal cell (had to go through his secretary all the time), and was not as personable as Jim Dunn. And on the contrary, Jim was easy to reach and even called me several times to check in; also, my first lawyer would not do a thing unless you read through and signed page after page of legal jargon to «prove» why he was worth the outrageous retainer. Jim Dunn didn’t even charge me until the case was settled.
Also, my first lawyer was confused as too what the judge ruled, and this led to a misunderstanding and a bench warrant that led to my arrest two years after the DUI. Jim Dunn had a VERY good understanding of the law and was able to explain every possible ruling before our court date and clean up the mess my first lawyer helped to make.
Jim Dunn is trustworthy, reliable, personable, honest, and fair, especially when it comes to his costs. Take it from me, he is HALF the cost of these «hot shots,» but gets twice as much done. He came to my jail cell in Redwood City on a Sunday night to help get me out that following Monday. My family was unable to reach my previous lawyer whose «care» I was still under. Jim wrote up a transfer, got me a trial the next day, and got my bench warrant dropped within one day!
The legal and justice systems are a nightmare, you don’t want to get caught up with them, but if you do, you want Jim Dunn on your side!

I was fortunate enough to have a consultation with Mr. Dunn, recently. In fact, he responded to me on more than one occasion, with answers and very good advice. I truly appreciate his time and level of detail. Even more, I appreciate the genuine care behind it all. I do not think it’s easy to come by such a combination of attributes.

Mr. James Dunn helped me through a very unfortunate alcohol related event back in 2012. It was crucial for me to keep a clean driving record as it was needed for me to continue my career as a pharmaceutical representative. What was originally slated to be a DUI was reduced to a wet reckless and just recently was expunged off my record. James Dunn is professional, attentive, and has a very calming effect through the entire process that allowed me to keep my sanity. He laid out all the options for me and allowed me to to be the one to make the decision with all the information at my disposal.
Thank you again Jim!

A friend had an issue over a weekend that necessitated the assistance of an attorney. The good thing is, he already had one. The bad thing? His attorney blew off our urgent calls for help. In this particular area of the law, availability is KEY.
I Googled several attorneys and after careful perusal, decided to call James Dunn. I work for an attorney in another county, and so I knew what I wanted. I phoned Mr. Dunn’s number and an exchange answered. Took down my info, then, on a Saturday, immediately connected me to Mr. Dunn.
Mr. Dunn spent a good amount of time on the phone with me, explaining how these things work. (I do family law, DUI stuff is a mystery to me.) He told us how to reach our friend in jail, then made things easy on us by meeting us that evening at a place of our choosing to work out the details.
After that, Mr. Dunn handled everything. My friend got out of jail 24 hours later, about five days earlier than originally projected by the authorities. Mr. Dunn was able to get us into court promptly on Monday even though the Judge’s calendar wasn’t addressing this kind of issue, and got the case under control. My friend is very happy, and now has a firm grasp over his situation.
Knowing what I know about lawyers, and after reading the fee agreement of the lawyer my friend had before Mr. Dunn and comparing that to the superior service of Jim Dunn, I can wholeheartedly recommend this attorney without any reservations.

I got a speeding ticket on the way to work. I was driving well over the speed limit I’m embarrassed to say. There were points at stake, a huge fine, and I decided I needed some help.
Jim took my case and did a tremendous amount of research: ticket histories for that intersection, the timing of the traffic light changes, if the cop could have clocked me in his stated position, when the speed limit had been last changed and why. He called into question several key points that got my ticket reduced. No points and on line traffic school. I never stepped in the court room. He was professional, prompt, reliable, smart, and kind. Would hire him again! Thanks Jim!

Jim did a great job highly recommended

Disappointed

I hired him to protect me and my case wasn’t complicated. Within a 5 month span, all he did was push back my surrender dates 3 times at the courts making me look bad, never called me for the first 2 months after I had paid him 1500.00. His assistant misinformed me that I had a court date and the day before that assumed court date, THEN he told me it was my surrender date. I demanded I wanted my money back, and he said that I should calm down and we would talk in an hour. He used my vulnerability and said he would help me again. He said he would appear for me at the courts prior to the surrender date, and that he’d call me to confirm. HE DIDN’T. Very poor communication. He will find weakness and take advantage. After I realized that he wasn’t helping me at all, I contacted another lawyer and let James Dunn go. He will take your money and run, before you even realized that you got screwed over, you are. And he was asking for 5000.00 for his services??? Really? Go for ANOTHER attorney who truly listens and believes in fighting for their client.

I called The Office of James Dunn when I got my speeding ticket for a quick consultation. Despite him being on his way to court for another case he took my call and offered his suggestions and input. Needless to say I was a bit scared and apprehensive since I have other factors that make this much more than just a speeding ticket. He told me what I can expect to happen and how I should continue to try and resolve it. Thanks Mr. Dunn!

If you want to win, this is the guy. Jim never gave up on my case and kept fighting for me even after I was ready to give up. It did not look good. It was a DUI with high test results and an aggressive cop. I say «was» because Jim got it reduced to a charge of playing my stereo too loud and he also got my DMV record totally cleared. A DUI would have been a career ender. I cannot say enough about Mr. Dunn’s dedication.
Sometimes it was hard to get him on the phone, but he hired a new assistant, and after that I could get anything I needed easily.
If there’s any way to win, he’ll find it. Money well spent.

James Dunn should do «PRO-​BONO»… Did you know that in PEOPLE’s magazine, it showed that Bill Gates and even Mr. LEE BUFFINGTON, (the previous San Mateo TAX COLLECTOR, worth multi-​BILLIONS) made90−95% in DONATIONS??? Yup, check it out. The proof is in the pudding, or PEOPLE’s magazine to be exact.
I wonder if James Dunn gives any contributions? Or does any charity work since he is a BIG name with his PC CA LAW-​making abilities?
… we shall see…
James Dunn does not have much time for you. That’s all I have to say. Find another lawyer… you’ll have more peace of mind. AND more money left over to your name!
** make a record of everything you say, write and send.

Not responsive.
Talked to Mr. Dunn twice and sent him documents he requested regarding a rather unusual case. He seemed very knowledgeable, empathetic and interested, but never contacted me as he said he would.
If you are not interested in taking a case Mr. Dunn, simply tell the prospective client. You owe them that much! I’ve been through enough. Didn’t need this aggravation!

Jim Dunn helped me beat a DUI that shouldn’t have been charged in the first place, although it took months for the DA to see it that way. Throughout the process he was available, patient, knowledgeable & thorough. His professionalism, capability & sincere manner gave me confidence the entire time; and in the end, won out! Highly recommend contacting Mr. James Dunn if you find yourself in a less then desirable situation.

Thank goodness for Jim Dunn.
While driving to the hospital I was pulled over and given a speeding ticket.
I was not sure what to do. But, Jim Dunn did. He listened carefully to the entire story and took the case. He went to court for me. (I did not even have to attend.) And at the end of the day, the entire ticket was thrown out of court. No Fine. No Traffic School. No Points. No question, if I needed someone for a traffic ticket I would call Mr Dunn.
