He is fraud

He took my $75 K and did not show up for my child custody trial and quit a day before second trial when I asked him to represent me. . He is liar and fraud.. Stay away from him. He is the reason I lost custody of my 6-year-old daughter. He is money-hungry but does not work. He is a liar and very g...ood at it. This attorney should have his license revoked permanently to ensure he never traumatizes another young child or innocent mothers again. After taking my $75,000 and doing zero work, he filed a motion with 26 negative points to damage my image in the judge's eyes. He should face legal consequences for his actions.

This never happened. Period. Which leads me to believe that this anonymous review was NOT written by a former client but was, instead, written by the now-EX-spouse of a former client who was unhappy with how well I did for my client. So I consider this "one star" review a "five star" review. Thanks!

The man you want on your side

When I arrived at Jim’s office for my divorce consultation I remember feeling a wave of uncertainty that I could even start this divorce process. After meeting with JimI I had the confidence to move forward and get my divorce started. He put my mind at ease that I would have a lawyer on my side that... knew how to handle my situation no matter which direction it went. I felt there was no need to wait any longer. I had waited long enough! That feeling of uncertainty was finally fading. I knew Jim had other clients with more intense situations than mine demanding his attention. He always returned my calls and responded to my emails in record speed (usually at 5 am) Im thankful Jim made a stressful, uncomfortable time easier with his knowledge and expertise. I needed a professional I could trust, guiding me on the path of taking the first steps in claiming my life back. I found that when hiring Jim and his firm.

Stay away!!

Don't believe a word he says. Jim is an exemplary LIAR!!! He constantly lies to his clients. His billing is out of control. I have since switched attorneys. My new attorney is truthful, works hard, does as he says. I am in a better position than ever. My bills are a fraction of what they were whe...n Jim was on my case. Do yourself a favor and find a different attorney. I'm not signing my name for security reasons.

Ahhh…the joy of “anonymous” reviews in a platform where a reviewer isn’t required to prove he or she was actually a client of the attorney they are “reviewing”. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say this "review" was NOT written by a former client of mine and was more likely written by the EX-SPOUSE of one of my actual clients (probably after the case was over and my client "won"). If you're a good divorce lawyer - you tend to have a LOT of people who end up hating you.

James lived up to his stellar reputation. Divorce lawyers get a bad rep but I felt very supported. He drafted an excellent pre-nuptial agreement that left all parties concerned feeling protected and supported. I'm happy to add my voice to all the other enthusiastic reviews!

Highly Recommended - Knowledgeable, Experienced & Competent

I give the highest praise possible to James Sexton. He is a fantastic lawyer dedicated to his clients and his craft. James consistently went above and beyond. He is straight forward, reassuring and treats every situation with a calm focused demeanor. He can be warm and reassuring but, if or when he ...needs to be, can be defend you like a prize fighting pit bull. He knows the business like the back of his hand and handles each situation with precision strategy and skill. He pulled me through the hardest thing I had ever experienced. James' attention to detail, positive attitude and availability contributed the happier life I am living now.
