The Best, or he'll get you the Best

James is one of the best lawyers in all of NY. He recently helped me through two tough situations. The first was an business partnership contract that started as a mess. James walked me through all the points I needed to make, helped me with the negotiation, and made me feel conformable when it was t...ime to walk away. If not for James, I'd be stuck in a bad deal with a bad partner. The second situation was a run-in with the law. While James could have easily defended me, he knew I'd have the best chance with a specialist in the area of the incident. He referred me to the best Lawyer for the job and all my charges were dropped. I really appreciated James's integrity to pass the referral along - he was really looking out for my best interest, not just a paycheck. Highly Recommended!

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.
