Attorney Short helped me in a situation where I only had 72 hours to be in court for a hearing that could have resulted in me losing my career. He quickly represented me in my case and 72 hours later the case was dismissed against me for a frivolous accusation. He was professional, focused and masterful in court and we were done with the hearing in less than 10 minutes. I will be using him again in the future if needed.

Mr. Short made getting divorced way more enjoyable than getting married ever was. He was sharp, responsive, funny, and handled every bit of nonsense sent our way without breaking a sweat. Somehow I actually had a blast through the process. Worth every penny. Unlike the honeymoon.

I've had Mr. Short represent me on a couple of different legal matters. Both of which ended very successfully for us. James has the litigation skills, years of court room experience, and an openness & honesty with his clients that makes him a great attorney. Mr. Short's legal assistant JoAnne is also knowledgeable and readily resourceful. They have guided me through a custody suit and an unfortunate reckless driving incident, that thankfully was reduced to an improper lane change. He will always be my first call for all of my legal needs.
