I would like to express my deepest gratitude for Mr. James Stanley. I came to Mr. Stanley with an 11-year-old felony warrant. The charge was a class 4 felony possession, with potentially 2 to 6 years in prison, and up to half a million dollar fine. There was an added challenge that the case needed to be resolved in less than 30 days to save my current job. Mr. Stanley facilitated my felony charges being dismissed and he was able to get the case dropped to a misdemeanor. I was sentenced to 18 months probation. One court date! Immediate sentencing! No jail time! No additional fines! Out-of-state probation! An outcome unheard-of for someone who had been at-large, (missing) on a felony warrant for 11 years. A complete miracle! His knowledge and expertise created an extraordinary outcome that saved my life and my career of nine years working in the drug and alcohol treatment field. Mr. Stanley is most gifted with his ability to navigate a complex system by creating amazing submissions to the court. His legal submissions are written works of art. I can’t put into words how his phenomenal documents to the court orchestrated an unbelievable outcome that allowed me to continue my career. He is one of the most gifted and effective advocates I have ever met. I was referred to Mr. Stanley by several top attorneys that I knew in the Denver area. He is well-respected as a marvelous criminal offense attorney and miracle worker for his clients. His reviews on this website convinced me I had found the right person. His 19 year experience as a senior prosecuting attorney and 30 years practicing law are invaluable gifts. I owe my freedom and career to Mr. Stanley’s totally priceless help. He is an extraordinary attorney who treats his clients with dignity and compassion. His communication during our time working together was outstanding. If you're lucky enough to have found James Stanley, hire him. I unequivocally recommend this amazingly gifted attorney.
I was charged with Assault in Denver. As a result of this criminal charge, I was living my life thinking I would have no future career, facing burdens of unemployment and finding places to live. Attorney James Stanley saved my life. His tedious, aggressive work saved me from a life of misery. The first thing that I noticed about Mr. Stanley was his communication. We spoke nearly every single day. He returned responded to every email, voicemail, and made sure that I was in the loop. Sometimes I was scared to read the emails because I feared I wouldn’t like what I read. Which leads me to another point, his honesty. While keeping me in the loop, he informed me of every single finding related to my case. Sometimes the findings were good and sometimes the findings were not so good, regardless he made sure I knew about everything and we discussed every single point. After my first conversation with Mr. Stanley, I could tell he was my best option. I felt comfort and trust with him, which from what I have heard can be hard to find in lawyers. Another great attribute about M. Stanley, is that he was relentless and has a tenacious work ethic. He explored every possible avenue of attack and defense on my case. We spoke about every possible outcome in my case whether it was good or bad. Due to his nonstop work and efforts, we were able to dissect the case and find numerous defects in the prosecution’s case. I appreciate the fact that Jim looked at every possible avenue we had. During my case and communications with Mr. Stanley, he went out of his way to have his staff reenact what happened to see if they could find anything that could be good or bad for my case. By doing this we were able to see where a jury might find certain avenues of belief or disbelief on each party. The fact that he went out of his way to do this was very comforting. It only added to the sense of comfort and confidence in his work and just showed me how much he cares about his clients. Mr. Stanley put together an amazing package of evidence and information to be presented to the courts and prosecuting attorney. Due to his efforts we were able to get my case dismissed after just one court date; this seems unheard of. Other lawyers I had spoke with about my case seemed skeptical of my story, the outcome, and me. Mr. Stanley took me in with open arms and I must repeat this; I think he saved me a life full of misery. I believe Mr. Stanley is top notch and I would recommend him to any person that ever needs a criminal defense lawyer. He will listen to you; he will give you the honest truth every step of the way even if you don’t like what you hear. You want someone who looks at the facts, someone that will use their experience to get you the best possible outcome, and that’s exactly what Mr. Stanley does. He doesn’t care about how big the payout is, he cares about you, your life, and your happiness. He will be there every step of the way to support you, guide you, and do his very best in making sure you get the best outcome possible. Words can’t really describe how good he is at what he does. He truly uses his intelligence, expertise, and experience in the art of dealing with criminal law and prosecuting attorneys. I just want to say thank you Jim. You really did save my life in so many ways, it would have taken a miracle to find success in this world as a working man if it hadn’t been for your work. Thank you, Joseph Brown
