Missed Details and Errors

I hired James based on their confident promises and impressive talk. However, after I paid the retainer, James went completely silent for a week—no updates, no responses to my calls or emails. When I finally heard back, it felt like I was chasing them down just to get the basic service I had already ...paid for. To make matters worse, during the closing, he made multiple errors and missed critical details that could have jeopardized the entire deal. I had to step in and catch mistakes that he should have caught. His lack of attention and professionalism nearly cost me big time. If you need a reliable, detail-oriented real estate lawyer, look elsewhere.

After the accident I called Jim Foerst

I used Jim Foerst for a Real Estate closing before and was very pleased with his professionalism. After I had been rear ended at a traffic light and was injured, I called Jim again for his expertise. He advised me and helped me navigate through the insurance claims processes and got the claim settled... for me. I now consider Jim Foerst to be my family attorney and recommend him highly.

Thanks for an easy closing on our home!

Jim and his team were top notch - from the initial attorney review period to the actual closing. Jim explained the process early on, walked us through the paperwork and more importantly, made sure we understood each document we were presented with. He and his team were very responsive to our many q...uestions along the way. Thanks for the excellent service.

The First Call I Make Whenever I have a Legal Problem.

Jim has become our family lawyer after we worked with him at least four times in the past over the past three years. He has helped us, and others we have referred to him with a variety of matters including, tax appeals, real estate closings and municipial court matters. Some of these situations cou...ld fairly be described as emergencies, which Jim handled without a problem. He has proven himself time and time again to be knowledgeable, eithical, professional, caring and discreet. The breadth of his skill set is truly impressive. He has never disappointed us. Jim is the first cal lI make (or tell others to make) whenever a legal issue presents itself.

A trusted resource for legal matters

My most recent work with Mr. Foerst involved real estate law. He was professional, easy to work with, and served as the "quarterback" of my real estate transactions (a new purchase and a refinance). I had no issues with either transaction thanks to Mr. Foerst and his team. He kept me informed and ...educated through the entire process. In addition to my real estate transactions, I have found Mr. Foerst to be an outstanding resource for other legal matters. He has a broad range of expertise and is my first call for answers or direction when I have any legal question.
