I represent both debtors and creditors in bankruptcy and other insolvency proceedings.

James A. Wingfield Recommendation

We needed help, advice and a plan to deal with our situation. We interviewed a number of attorneys around the state, but James stood out like a beacon of truth, integrity, and foresight. He not only understood our situation but also truly cared about helping us solve our problem. Always keeping a g...ood sense of humor to keep us calm and focused, he focused right into the core of the problem. He explained his perception of our matter, laid out our options, gave his opinion and then actually asked us what we thought of the options. Using a team approach, instead of just telling us what to do, helped us come up with a plan, contingencies and alternatives that ultimately led to a successful solution to our financial circumstances. I highly recommend James to anyone who is looking for trust, integrity and a solution or advice for your legal problems.

  • 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.
