very nice and informative

Jim Franks was hired to represent my husband he charged $10,000 to represent him and I paid it with the understanding that the charges from Crittendon county and DeSoto county would all be inlcluded in this one fee! He stated he did not have a license for Arkansas but that he had someone that handled his Arkansas cases. I clarified that the $10,000 was all the money I had and I needed for all of it to be handled he stated that he understood and that it wouldn’t be a problem. However, after my husband was sentenced in DeSoto county Jim would not even contact his person in Arkansas! He misrepresented himself. He spent no time preparing and he would not provide itemized statements showing where your money went! He never picked up the discovery from my husband and only saw my husband 2 times while he was in jail and his case took 4 months to even get a the first court date to enter plea. I would not waste my money on this attorney he will not do what he says he will do! Also if you call to ask why he is going back on his word he will yell and threaten to have you arrested then hang up on you! Not professional at all! You are better off with a public defender! Or at least an attorney who can keep their word!

Guy is in with local law enforcement. He doesn't update you with your case until the day of court, where he completely forgets things and has to ask you questions in front of prosecuetors. He has social relations with desoto county sheriffs like Johnathon bigham, and he makes it clear DeSoto county sheriff's and judges run strictly on the " good ol boy" system. James Frank's cost alot of money(compared to great south haven lawyers) but acts as a southern bumpkin with trash law. If you ask him a question he becomes angry and yells at you telling you that you're not a lawyer. South Haven lawyers laugh at this kid.

It’s been a few years since I used Franks for an Attorney. My experience was pretty good. I had gotten a DUI while having an accident. Instead of learning my lesson, I received another less than two months later. I took the breathalyzer like an idiot, and of course I failed. Instead of using the usual names, I tried Jim Franks. He managed to knock a DUI charge down to a Public Drunk. I’m not saying it was cheap, but he did a good job for me. And yes, it is a good ole boys network. But you might as well play by their rules, because you sure aren’t gonna beat them at their game.

Great office...more than helpful and accommodating staff. Very friendly and explains thing so that you understand well..really appreciate the staff here.
