Real Estate Transaction
Has handled numerous real estate transactions. James was always available to speak with me and iron out details from attorney review to home inspection issues. Exceptional response time and very thorough and effective.
"I highly recommend Jim. He is excellent attorney and could literally write a book on how to effectively prosecute tax appeals. When I refer a client to him, I know that client is in good hands."
"I endorse Jim Foerst without reservation. In whatever he undertakes, he is knowledgeable and tenacious in the representation of his clients. Jim is a well respected member of the legal community."
