My husband and I reached out to James for some legal advice and we got a call back within hours. We received an open ear and sound advice. He was also able to help us get clarity on a criminal case from long ago, which was an unexpected surprise. He didn’t charge us even though we offered. We will definitely return to James and his staff should the need ever arise. Thank you so much 🙏
I needed a lawyer for a friend who has a DUI and was getting the run around how to get this matter taking care of and his license restored. The Law Or of James Dunn and Robert Preskill went out of there way to help me. I was not a client of this firm but they still helped me. If your looking for a honest caring law firm I highly recommend this office,
Fantastic law firm. Friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable about the intricacies of the San Mateo courts. Extremely satisfied with their services and outcome!
Robert Preskill of the James Dunn law firm Is unlike any attorney I have ever dealt with before Not only is he professional but unbelievably attentive to every detail of my case most attorneys I've ever dealt with has been for less than 5 minutes right before we go into the court Mr. Pre skill met me on a Saturday and spent over an hour asking many questions to find out every single detail of How I found myself been in need of his services he was very honest in his opinion of what he thought our success Would be he spent a lot of his time in investigating my case. I ended up not needing in the services of the law firm and to my Surprise this law firm returned every single penny of the money I paid for this case unheard of This law firm truly cares about this community us as people and doesn't just look at us as dollar signs they truly care Thank you Robert pre skill and James Dunn you truly are a rare breed of attorney
Owner response
Thank you for the excellent review, Frank! Glad to have met your expectations for great service that our firm prides itself on. Again, thank you for the kind words!
Jim is a colleague of mine, as I am also an attorney. He assisted me on a legal matter involving a school with upmost kindness and compassion. I was highly stressed by the matter and contacted Jim several times, even after work hours. He made himself available and was completely professional and compassionate through the representation. He has a heavy case load because he does excellent work.
Mr. James Dunn was very helpful. Even if most of the time we harrased him constantly because we just didn't understand the court procedures. We had never had anything like that happen to our family. He was very patient and provided a private investigator so that the case would be dismissed. The case was finally dismissed and we are very grateful for his hard work. Even when we showed lack of confidence in his abilities at times he continued to give us the best advice and he never gave up on us. He always treated us with respect and explained to the best of his ability what was happening. We are very grateful for his expertise in law and would definitely recommend him to others in similar situations.
Mr. Dunn has always gone above and beyond to help me out. He is an extremely hard worker and will do whatever it takes to take care of his clients. Not sure what I would of done in numerous occasions without Mr. Dunn's help. I will continue to be in contact with Mr. Dunn, because I know that he is an honest, compassionate, and determined individual that prides himself on helping others. Do yourself a favor and trust in James Dunn.
I was in desperate need for a qualified attorney who would represent me professionally and justly. In James Dunn I received outstanding representation and guidance throughout the entire process of my case. I highly recommend his services to anyone who is in search for a competent lawyer who will fight for you 100% - plus!
Well, I had hired a lawyer for my DUI prior to finding Jim Dunn, so I have something to compare too. My previous lawyer was Mark Blair, recommended by a friend. Mark had a 6 page paper explaining why he deserved a $2000 retainer and why that was him being lenient. Mark came to court, stood in front of the judge, said his name, and the judge made a ruling and Mark wasn't even sure what it was. Mark was not personable, you always had to go through his secretaries, and it felt like we had to chase him down. We felt he didn't earn his money and I even went to jail anyway because of some honest miscommunications with with court that Mark was supposed to handle but didn't.
So after being forced out of my house early on a Saturday morning and thrown in jail, my girlfriend was able to get a hold of Jim Dunn, who not only visited me in jail on a Sunday evening, but took care of the paperwork to get me transferred to him while getting a court date that next Monday. He also didn't even need the retainer before he started working on my case. Jim had to fix a very complex situation due to some honest misunderstandings and injury's preventing my participation in my WWP.
Jim understands the law very well, he put it in terms I could understand, never lied about anything, and was able to get me the best possible ruling from the courts. He called me, actually called me several times check in and make sure everything was ok and that I was doing my homework to get free of this horrible, unorganized entity we call the justice system. There is so much more to this story, and there are so many more small things Jim did that made my previous lawyer seem more like a fraud.
If you ever get tangled in the many dangling strings of the law, you want Jim Dunn on your side. He is smart, educated, authentic, and hard working to say the very least and I'm glad to know him and have hired him.
