A Lifeline During My Family's Most Difficult Time

When my son was facing serious criminal charges that threatened his future, our family was overwhelmed and terrified. We were referred to James Grable at Connors LLP, and it was the best decision we could have made. From our first meeting, his 28 years of experience in Buffalo's courts were immediately evident. He didn't just see a case file; he saw a young man who made a mistake and needed a strong, strategic defense. James meticulously explained every step of the process, demystifying the complex legal system for us. His deep knowledge, particularly in criminal defense, was instrumental in negotiating a resolution that avoided a trial and resulted in a far better outcome than we ever imagined. His recent recognition as Lawyer of the Year for Criminal Defense in Buffalo is clearly well-deserved. Beyond his legal acumen, James provided a steady, compassionate presence for our entire family, returning calls promptly and treating us with unwavering respect. He is a true professional who fights fiercely for his clients. We are forever grateful for his exceptional service and the positive path he secured for my son.
