Outstanding Service!!

Best money I ever spent. My case took over a year and Jim was there every step of the way. Most lawyers would have told me to take a deal, not Jim he brought it to trial and it was dismissed. I put my full trust in his desion's and I am so glad I did. Dont want to think about what the future might ha...ve been if I used someone less qualified.

INVESTMENT! UNLIKE MOST LAWYERS, ATTY. KAEDING WORKS FOR YOU!

I can't say enough about this gentleman! Atty. Kaeding listens, re-acts, he is extremely honest, he works with YOU, his response in your time of dispair goes without saying. We had hired a lawyer for representation before Atty Kaeding and after three weeks of phone calls with repeated, "Tomorrow's" w...e had to search elsewhere and Atty. Kaeding was recommended by a court personnel. I contacted him and within a WEEK, my son was out of jail and the case was dismissed! If you are in need of an excellent lawyer, give him a call. Confide in him, trust in him. He will be the first step in giving you or your loved one some peace. Thank you for reading my review and if you think there is no hope, just call Atty Kaeding. A call you wont regret making...

"I'm a criminal defense attorney, but whenever I get calls for bankruptcy or social security administration matters, I always refer them to Jim Kaeding. Not only does he does know the law and the legal process inside out, but he's a down to earth, sympathetic advocate for individuals facing economic distress and/or social security issues. He also practices criminal defense, and I enthusiastically recommend him for that area as well. I've worked on several matters with Mr. Kaeding, and so I know first hand that he's very tough and very smart in the courtroom, but that clients find him extremely approachable and easy to work with. If you're looking for a tough, experienced, no nonsense, top notch attorney for bankruptcy, social security, or criminal matters who will also take the time to really listen to your concerns and fight for the best outcome in your matter, hire James Kaeding."

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.
