EXCELLENT

James Loewen and his office provided me excellent services, and he is very knowledgeable in all aspects of the bankruptcy case and real state, I am very satisfied with my lawyer.

Posted by anonymous | May 26, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

James Lowen is incompetent

This man is either careless, lazy, outright incompetent or all of the above. He was to write a letter indicating that he represented me in a civil case. Instead he copied everything that i wrote and did not act in any way like he was my hired attorney. His careless and nonchalant attitude messed my c...ase and life up. He should go drive Uber. Even a layman with no law background could have done a better job. Run from this man. Never hire him. He is not an attorney. I wonder how he got called to the bar.

There's no need to disparage Uber drivers.

Worst lawyer ever!!!!!

James Loewen came recommended through his wife whom I worked with. He NEVER provided the court with timely documents and managed to get our case dismissed not once, but twice. He genuinely does not care that we are losing our home and our kids will have to be uprooted from their environment. He has c...aused so much pain and suffering in our lives. I WOULDN'T recommend James Loewen to my worst enemy.

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.
