JIM has at heart to get you justice and cares for you

We used Jim services and counsel, October 2019. We were in our rights but the other company would not hear anything. Not only jim was easy to talked to, but he advised us very well and got us what was right. He was caring, easy to reach out, he was on our case from A to Z. We were introduced to... him by friends from Ohio. We met with him, we saw he was reliable and not all about money, he was correct, efficient, came up with ideas, and did everything for our case to not escalate. Great attorney Great human being , long overdue review Jim, but with our move to Atlanta we could not do it before ! Thank you for your work for us. The frenchies ! Laurence and Stephane M

A Lot of Bark...No Bite! Find a Different Lawyer!

This Attorney has alot of Bark but no bite to see the case through to trial. Took our case on a contingency than when it came time to get to trial, tried to convince me to take the first “lowball”offer the defendants offered, so he could make a quick buck without having to do any work. When I disagr...eed, decided he was going to unilaterally re-write the terms of his representation agreement, so that I would have to pay all fees going forward...totally disreputable! Stay away! This is not a firm that has the deep pockets to fight for you and get your case to trial!

Awesome Attorney!!!

James Gitkin is an awesome personal injury attorney. He's got an awesome paralegal, by the name of Sarina, who is super great, friendly and will get things done for you! I call her my 'pitbull in a skirt' SOLEY for how she gets things done and is on top of her game. They are an awesome team! In an ac...cident, don't call 411pain, I did, almost got messed up, but decided to search avvo and got this great attorney! 2 thumbs up! I have passed his number to many people JUST IN CASE they get in an accident and need strong representation. I hope to never get in an accident again, but if things take that turn, I already know who's going to represent me.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Mr. Gitkin ever since we started law school together over 12 years ago. He has always impressed me as an intelligent and very capable attorney. In fact, I refer him most, if not all, of my injury clients since I am a criminal lawyer. I choose to refer my cases to Mr. Gitkin because he is very good at what he does and always puts 100% effort into every case he takes on. As a referring attorney, I need to know my clients are in good hands when I refer them to another lawyer. This is never an issue with Mr. Gitkin because I have always known him to do excellent work. Not to mention, he is a gentleman lawyer and is extremely dependable. I definitely give him my endorsement."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
