conviction could affect them, how to avoid having a conviction on their
record, and how to get on the right path for a successful life. Because

Sugar Land Criminal Lawyer James Sullivan seeks real solutions to his clients' legal
problems. Sullivan fights for his clients with the goal to get the
case dismissed or won at trial. When that is not possible or probable,
he fights to prevent his client from receiving a conviction or
incarceration, such as with pretrial diversion, deferred adjudication or
regular probation.
If you
are charged with a felony offense, James Sullivan may be able to get your
case no billed (dismissed) by the grand jury, but you have to hire a
defense attorney before or right after your first court setting.
If your felony case is dismissed by the grand jury, you may be able to get your criminal record expunged right away. Many of Sullivan's
clients have been able to do this within a few months of being
arrested.
Attorney James Sullivan generally tries to answer his own phone so that you can speak
to an attorney directly. He wants to hear from you and to help you. Call
him. Don’t go to court alone. To schedule an appointment or to discuss your case, call 281-546-6428.

"As an attorney myself, when concerns arose over an incident involving my son, I knew the extreme importance of finding an attorney who is Board Certified in juvenile law. Board Certified lawyers are highly specialized - enough that the State recognizes them for their expertise. My search led me to Jim Sullivan and I cannot thank him enough. He is extremely well-versed in this highly specialized area of law, kind, compassionate and non-judgmental. He spent a great deal of time understanding the incident involving my son and providing us guidance. Thankfully, it appears that this will turn out to only be a "learning opportunity" for my son but, I have Jim's number in my phone and will call him immediately if the need arises." ~Concerned Mom (Yahoo Directory Review)

MORE THAN 3,000 CLIENTS REPRESENTED – TRIAL SUCCESSES
Attorney James Sullivan
has personally represented more than 3,000 criminal and juvenile
clients in Texas courts on cases ranging from minor misdemeanor juvenile
offenses to felony family violence. There are many
strategies to deal with criminal cases, from persuading a grand jury to
dismiss felony charges, getting charges reduced or trying the case to a
jury. Sullivan has used all these strategies successfully. Each
individual’s case is different and no one can guarantee the outcome of
any case.
Sullivan cares
for his clients and is appreciative of those who were thoughtful and
took the time to send him a note of gratitude.
"As an attorney, Jim Sullivan is low profile, down to earth, insightful, and most importantly, effective. I had met with other attorneys that presented a tough and flashy image and claimed to be the best in town, but I chose Jim because I trusted his integrity, capability and sincerity to do his best in representing me in the criminal case (theft) that was charged against me. I was proven to have made a sound judgment - Jim had my case totally dismissed without a trial setting, two months after the charge was made against me. From what I have observed, Jim does not just apply a standard formula to a case and then proceed in the legal system’s 'production line.' Instead, he thinks outside the box and he catches details that are critical to properly define the nature of an event and he goes on to break through a seemingly impossible situation. Jim is a very good attorney, a good man and a true blessing." ~Kay, Houston, Texas (Yahoo Directory Review)

"The wisdom of our sages and the blood of our heroes has been devoted to the attainment of trial by jury. It should be the creed of our political faith." ~Thomas Jefferson, 3rd President of the United States in his First Inaugural Address (1801)
