Josh

“I had a really good feeling that Jim understood the severity of what we were going through right away. He really cared. Jim is a great person and was very patient with me throughout the entire process. We were highly pleased that he was able to get us a great outcome.”

Steve

“Jim was an exceptional lawyer. He kept me very calm while I was going through an emotional time. His responsiveness was quick and concise. I would highly recommend him.”

Jessica M.

“I’d recommend James to any of my friends. After working with a couple attorneys in the past, I’ve learned you don’t always get what you pay for, and that initiative, preparation, and knowledge of “the system” are key qualities to seek in an attorney. James represented me in a challenging case and I could not be more pleased with how he handled everything. He shot straight with me, guided me through a very daunting process and protected me from making emotionally driven decisions. While he never made any promises on judicial outcomes, he gave me confidence by being very clear about the strengths and weaknesses of my case and being VERY prepared. A great attorney and worthwhile investment.”
