James J Gross's Reviews

Jim Gross is unusual to the extent that he has all of the qualities that you seek in an attorney - he is trustworthy, smart, calm and always available by either email or telephone. Mr. Gross handled and coordinate an out of state post-marital agreement for me that was managed to perfection. His cordial and professional manner with two other coordinating attorneys went a long way to make the process smooth. If you are overwhelmed with emotion and surrounded by caos he is the person to call for legal assistance. His legal fees are excellent for the quality of services that he provides.

James Gross was levelheaded and calm and worked for me to attain my objectives. He was very responsive and helpful Very knowledgeable seeks to get the best for his clients.

Excellent choice for mediation and/or legal counsel regarding divorce/ separation. Superb follow-up and clarification of the issues. He is almost always in office and answers his phone! Displays common sense most attorneys seem to lack. My case was settled via mediation, therefore I do not have actual trial/ courtroom experience with Mr. Gross.

Jim Gross and his team provide an outstanding service. Their advice is direct, clear, and efficient. It may seem expensive at first, but it's actually cost effective. Getting intelligent advice is the best way to handle a difficult case. This is what Mr. Gross and his team can provide.

James is a fantastic lawyer. He helped me through a difficult process and assisted in guiding the issue to a fair and reasonable settlement. I would recommend James Gross to anyone for any type of legal matter. In addition to his vast knowledge on family law, he has a demeanor that is an asset in getting things resolved. No matter how irrational, emotional, or ridiculous the other legal team becomes in a family matter, Jim remains straight forward, thoughtful, and patient. His firm's billing on the matter was easy to understand and extremely reasonable considering the specialized knowledge require to resolve this type of matter. I would recommend him without any reservations.

Jim is a bright and knowledgeable attorney. His calm but firm manner was an good match in my situation. I was emotionally involved, and he provided calm guidance throughout the process.

Note the five stars across the board. I don't normally give anyone that rating but Jim Gross earned the rating and my trust.

This was my third attorney in five years that I've hired to deal with my separation, divorce and child custody issues. The previous two were not responsive and difficult to deal with. Thyden, Gross and Callahan advertise their firm as being responsive and when I interviewd Jim, he gave me his personal assurance he would always be available - and if he wasn't someone from his firm would be. He was absolutely consisten with that promise and no query or question ever went unanswered.

He also worked diligently to get me what I was seeking and setup and successfully mediated an agreement without having to go to court.

Only limited interaction on the phone and was referred by the DC Bar referral service. He was very responsive and very helpful.

Jim has helped me with personal and business matters and has always been there when I needed him and has always been professional, courteous and extemely helpful.

I’m a business owner with three children. I had another lawyer before I found Jim Gross. I was losing badly in my case. I was paying out more than I was making and I almost shut down my business.

Unlike my previous attorney, Jim didn’t always tell me what I wanted to hear, but what he said made sense to me and it turned out to be right. Somehow he persuaded my wife’s litigious attorney to go to mediation.

He helped me work out a very creative settlement in which I was able to keep my business and my pension plan and limit alimony payments to a term of years. Jim was always accessible to me and returned my calls and emails promptly. I recommend him highly if you have a complicated divorce like mine.

Jim worked with me to acheive the best possible outcome in a challenging situation. I sought him out because I wanted an attorney who really understood that I wanted my divorce to remain as amicable as possible while protecting my interests. His skill and wise guidance helped me navigate through the process efficiently and with as little acrimony as possible. He was efficient in his use of time, allowing me to keep costs to a minimum, without ever making me feel as though I did not have his full attention to the matter.

What I appreciate most about the representation of Mr. Gross, was the extreme professionalism he maintained throughout the course of his counsel of my affairs. He is an expert in his field which was proven continually as he answered each one of my questions and concerns thoroughly and gave me superb advisement. Most appreciated was his timely responses and extreme attention to my situation. Overall I would highly recommend Mr. Gross as anyone who would retain him would certainly benefit from his services.

I contacted Mr. Gross after reading the e-book "How to File for Divorce in Maryland". I explained to him my specific situation and needs and he immediately offered me the right solution that gave me the confidence and peace of mind that everything would be alright. He thoroughly reviewed all documentation and provided valuable advice and corrections as needed. He was very responsive to my e-mail inquiries also. I would definitely recommend working with him if you want a lawyer with solid professionalism and a genuine interest to help you get through your divorce with the least stress and pain possible.

Jim Gross was focused, gave me attention, had integrity, and was consistently professional. I highly recommend him.

James Gross has my utmost respect & confidence. He is extremely knowledgeable & skilled in his areas of practice. I have used him in several of those areas and not just the one selected below. He embodies the highest level of integrity; I would and have recommended him on multiple occasions.

Jim,

helped me sort through a difficult and complicated divorce after a long marriage with four children. He was able to help me keep my cool during the most trying times while still helping me stay focused on the battles that meant the most for my well being and my children 's long term adjustment to their new family situation.
I was touched by the combination of excellent professional counsel in a context of realistic and dignified choices laid before me with compassionate and supportive advice. I certainly recommend Jim Gross to anyone who wants a strong advocate on their side.

Getting to know Jim Gross has been one of the more pleasant experiences to me in many years. Jim has successfully represented me in cases ranging from thousands to millions of dollars. His work has always exceeded my expectations. In addition, he has been an invaluable councilor on personal and business matters. I most likely would not be where I am today if it had not been for his help. I am looking forward to working with Jim for many more years!

Divorce and separation could be a 'difficult business' for everyone concerned. But with Jim, who with Michael Callahan, "wrote the book" (How To... in the DC, MD, VA tri-state area) we all felt comfortable, while being wisely guided and well-advised. I can recommend Jim without qualification. A rare lawyer!

Jim is an outstanding attorney, whose excellent knowledge, advice, and hard work produce impressive results. He is always prepared and focused, and consistently replies to e-mails and phone messages promptly and professionally. Jim's personable demeanor and negotiating skills also help him to achieve favorable outcomes. He works efficiently and intelligently, providing a high output of service for his charges, as well.

Jim was a wonderful lawyer. He helped my stay focused and provided very wise guidance during my divorce. I've recommended him to other friends many times. He was very trustworthy; I received a very precise monthly statement of all charges. He usually responded to e-mails the same day I sent them. He showed a very strong command of the law, and knew the best path take when unexpected issues came up. He kept me up-to-date with the case the entire time.

Excellent firm for property tax assessment appeals in DC, VA & MD.

If you are looking for someone who is knowledgable and responsive, look no further. He is expensive, but worth every penny. In fact, there is a good chance he save me $400K but out-maneurvering my X's attorney. He tells you everything you need to know up front, and he is great to work with. He has my strongest endorsement.

Mr. Gross has attended to my relatively small claims as if they were in the millions. His grasp of the issues and understanding of my remedies was swift and on target. Furthermore, his fees have always been in line.

I recommend him highly.
