Defending Your Freedom

That is not him. His entire career is devoted to defending people
accused of crimes and delinquencies.

murder, aggravated robbery, drug cases, sex offenses, domestic assault
and DWI.

Jim Sullivan practices criminal law with a simple philosophy. If a
client says he is not guilty, and if the prosecutor will not dismiss the
charge, then Jim Sullivan advises his client that they should fight the
case at a jury trial. Unlike many other attorneys, Jim Sullivan does
not try to convince an innocent person to plead guilty. Instead, Jim
Sullivan fights for his clients’ freedom and reputation.

Board Certified in Juvenile Law
Houston
Juvenile Attorney Jim Sullivan is Board Certified in Juvenile Law by
the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. Juvenile law is different than
criminal law.
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
