Mr. Pokorny's years of criminal law experience truly helped me in my darkest day. I was accused of a hideous crime, if convicted; it would have ruined my career and self being. Mr. Pokorny believed in my innocent, and was able to take my case with understanding and compassion. Mr. Pokorny's focus on details and methodological approach of my case brought me too my acquittal. This is when I realize you need to fight for the truth because life does not play fair. I am very grateful that Mr. Pokorny was there for me and my family as my lawyer and friend.
Thank you, Jim.

I had been drinking with my girlfriend and we got into an argument. The fight escalated and I pulled out my .45 Colt pistol to scare her. Somehow the gun went off and she was shot in the face. The San Bernardino County District Attorney was going to charge me with attempted murder and have me sent to state prison. Not only was Mr. Pokorny able to get the charges reduced, but he got the judge to grant me probation. I will never forget the legal magic he worked for me during that point in my life. If you are in a serious situation, I highly recommend calling Mr. Pokorny immediately before you make your situation worse.

I have known James Pokorny professionally and socially for more than twenty years. As an attorney, I have always respected him and appreciated the quality of work and dedication he devotes to his clients. Recently, Mr. Pokorny represented my son in a drug offense case. I was greatly impressed with his professionalism and steadfast focus on my son's case. Mr. Pokorny is widely respected by his peers and judges. This is an incredibly important asset he brings to his clients who seek the best possible results in the shortest amount of time.
Sincerely,
