Horrible experience with James G. Souza III, P. that cost me a lot of money. If I could leave negative stars I would! James Souza will lie about everything once he gets the money from you he doesn’t care about you or your case. Slow responsive, Unprofessional in so many ways, Trash customer service, Trash greedy lawyer. He doesn’t like to respond to email because it hold him accountable for his negligent. Nothing has been done for my case! Spend your money somewhere else. James Souza is a joke
Owner response
Dear Charlotte Henry,<br>We checked our list of past and present clients and found that you have never been a client of this law firm. We have never represented you in any legal matter. You have never hired this law firm and you have never paid this law firm any monies. You have posted a phony and FAKE review.

I used Jim Souza’s services last year for help with expungement. He was very helpful and organized throughout the whole process. It took some time, no fault of Mr. Souza’s, and in the end, I was able to get the results I was hoping for! Thank you again, Jim! -Monica C.

Jim and his staff were amazing. At first we were told that there wasn’t insurance for medical. They kept In communication and pushing for my case. After a few months he called to tell me there was money available and we could work toward a settlement. With on 3 months he had gotten me a full settlement. I am so grateful to Jim and his entire staff. I will recommend him and his staff to anyone I know.
Owner response
Corinne,<br>Thank you for the kind words in recognition of this example of not giving up on a claim just because an initial search does not reveal any insurance money for your losses. Thank you also for your patience and for your commitment to your medical care and treatment. I am glad to have gotten to know you throughout your case. Like many clients, you were referred to us by someone who knows me and trusted that this law firm would take good care of you. <br><br>I am certain that you would agree that we achieved this incredible outcome because all of us worked together and the proof is in your recovery.

From the initial consult with Mr. Souza (Jim) we knew right away that we were in good hands. He immediately makes you feel welcome, shows genuine care and concern. Most importantly his experience and history as an attorney has proven invaluable. Our first experience with Jim was with our son that has a mental illness. During a time he was not taking his medicine he was arrested, and we knew we needed to seek legal advice. Jim was able to have the charges moved from criminal court to the Mental Health Court system. After successful completion of the program our son was able to have his charges dropped. In another legal situation with a family member without question Jim was the first call. Throughout the process which can be lengthy he kept us informed and we never felt concerned that our case was not receiving the attention it needed. Jim will work tirelessly for his client until he achieves the best possible outcome. With so many attorneys to choose from you honestly do not need to look any farther. Jim Souza will help you navigate the legal landscape with skill and precision.
Owner response
Liz,<br>Thank you for choosing our law firm for this deeply personal case. Too many times the legal system fails our people with special needs. But not this time. <br>I am grateful for the prosecutors, the judges and the mental health professionals who stepped up for your son in this situation. My law firm will continue to fight for fair treatment and just outcomes for all of our clients including those whose conduct and intentions are grossly misunderstood by the police and by the courts. <br>It was my privilege to have been given these opportunities to assist your loved ones. You and your entire family are terrific people.

When facing a criminal charge, we hired Mr. Souza to represent a family member. From first point of contact via phone, he was very clear spoken, empathetic and ready to assist. Upon meeting in his office to go over details of the case, he was very transparent with how the legal system works. He gave us reassurance that he would fight for the best possible outcome. He worked swiftly and tediously and the charges were dismissed immediately. We have had the pleasure of referring Mr. Souza to others whom are also pleased with their outcomes. I would describe Mr. Souza as the Johnny Cochran of Tampa Bay. He is personable, compassionate, diligent and committed. I highly recommend him!!! Thank you Mr. Souza for being the advocate you are for people in need. You truly make the difference and change lives for the better.
Owner response

This is a rip off Lawyer. I paid him 15,000.00 dollars and he didn't do anything for me, absolutely nothing. I end up hiring another lawyer to handle my case.
