Overview

Over the past decade, James has developed a reputation as one of the most effective and hardest working criminal law attorneys in Western North Carolina. James's practice is focused on criminal law and domestic violence cases. Practicing for this extent of time and in a focused area, has allowed him to know the ins and outs of criminal and domestic law.
James routinely provides effective representation to clients faced with the following issues:

- Speeding tickets, driving while license revoked, and other traffic offenses
- Assaults
- All domestic violence actions, including restraining orders
- Drugs, simple possession, and other drug offenses
- DUI and Driving while impaired

James understands that a pending criminal action is a constant weight for his clients. That's why he works tirelessly for my clients, and regularly meets them after hours and at night. James is fortunate enough to be well regarded in these areas, as his peers have selected as a Super Lawyer's Rising Star in the area of criminal law.

I have had my fair share of dealings with attorneys unfortunately. I will say dealing with James Mills and team has been top notch. James Mills is passionate about the law, is very personable and acts like how you would think an attorney should perform. During my consultation with him he quickly found excellent defense information for my case. The charge against me was false in my opinion and could have easily ruined my reputation, income and future endeavors. The outcome was a dismissal! Not only was I impressed with their team (in the process) I have heard multiple testimonies from others of how great an attorney James Mills is! Thank you and your team for protecting the local community and protecting my business -- Outstanding Job!
