Medical Malpractice 20%

Every year, thousands of patients at America’s hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, and rehabilitation centers are injured and disabled due to negligence. To win a medical malpractice case, a claimant need not prove that a provider made an "active" procedural error. Proving negligence or omission of duty is often good enough. Whether your doctor's action or inaction led to your injury, you may have a valid claim if negligence played a contributing role.

Personal Injury 20%

Personal Injury Law refers to a type of tort law relating to injuries caused to an individual’s body, mind, property, or general rights.

Posted by anonymous | February 28, 2018 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Brilliant lawyer

Jim represented me in a terrible custody battle in which the odds were vastly against the outcome I was looking for. He worked on my behalf tirelessly and he let me know all the way by his work and actions that my interests and the interests of my children were protected. Jim is very hard working, ve...ry reliable and detailed oriented in his work and will take extra steps to ensure that he understands your situation. He is very responsive and there is enormous reassurance in knowing that your lawyer will return your calls quickly and will explain things clearly. I believe that one of the qualities that sets Jim apart from other lawyers is his tremendous ability to understand people and situations. I remember being in Court with him representing my case to the judge. The way Jim told my story was the way I lived it myself. It was so true and authentic that in my heart of hearts I do believe that his ability to relate to me on a human level and tell my story from that perspective is what won that day, and not just the facts of the case. This exceptional quality was also obvious in many other instances, such as mediations and interactions with other lawyers and experts involved in the case. In many ways, the words fall short from relaying how grateful I am to have Jim as my attorney. If anyone wants the certainty that his or her interests are protected by a remarkably smart, very experienced and always very well prepared lawyer, that would be Jim Tenn. A very happy and grateful client.

Paul from NH, used for divorce.

Jim is an OUSTANDING divorce lawyer, and a very thorough attorney. He can go against any opposing counsel, make you feel safe, that youwere treated fairly, and represented well. He was efficient, and can roll up his sleeves to get the work needed to be done. Jim, and his staff are an asset to have... in your corner. He will make you feel confident, with his firm representing your needs, as he did for me.

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.
