More than money could buy

I must say, the quantity of attorney's in my area is plentiful but the quality of them are scares. I was in an unbearable battle of a relocation case for over a year. Most know, that a relocation case has a beacon of hope and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed nigh on impossible. H...owever, Jim and his team did just that.... He accomplished the impossible. He is honest, trustworthy, intelligent, great personality, and very straight forward. In unvarnished truth he will tell you exactly where you stand and what direction you should go. He has tenacity coupled with a degree of tenderness but never losing site of the end goal, which is to protect, defend and have the best outcome for his client. He worked with me financially, and made me feel I was the only client he had. He would respond to text/emails within minutes to an hour, never seemed bothered and always willing to listen to what I had to say. Words could not describe how grateful I am to Jim. I may not have been the "most profitable client" due to my financial situation but I will confidently say this.... I am your "most grateful client."

Knowledgeable, responsive, professional and kind!

Jim Sexton was referred to me by another attorney, outside the County, who has worked with him a great many years and she HIGHLY recommends him. She was spot on with everything she shared with me about Mr. Sexton's experience with high conflict, complicated divorce actions. He has a very strong fina...ncial background and thinks fast on his feet. My first impression of him was extremely positive, He is an outstanding communicator. He responded to my initial outreach to him within minutes of me reaching out to him. His communications were thoughtful and chock full of excellent advice. It was immediately clear that he is an absolute professional that cares about his clients and is very committed to and passionate about his work. I highly recommend Jim Sexton.

Excellent guidance

Divorce, even under amicable -ish terms is painful. Fluctuating emotions and unsolicited advice from family and friends can make even the most rational and clear headed think they are losing their mind. Jim was a no nonsense voice of reason during my divorce process. He acted as a consultant... on a regular basis throughout my mediation proceedings. In retrospect, the only reason mediation worked was because of Jim's continued presence. Jim fielded phone calls and emails. His advice and recommended direction were always spot on. You often hear about divorce lawyers 'going for the jugular'. In my case Jim knew how important it was for me to keep the peace while still getting what was fair and equitable after a long marriage. When I was uncomfortable and out of my realm of knowledge Jim made sure to use his extensive expertise and strongly push for terms on my behalf. Consistently assisting me in making difficult decisions and prioritizing both my and my children's needs both presently and in the future. The light at the end of the proverbial tunnel is glorious and I'm so thankful that Jim was able to help me get there . Have a chat with him and you'll feel like you're in the best of hands.

The attorney you want in your corner

I hired Mr. Sexton while going through a rather unpleasant custody dispute with my ex husband. It was a stressful and scary time for me, but I found solace in Jim. He was able to not only bring my situation to a satisfactory resolution, but he was able to calm my fears and keep me sane along the wa...y. Jim is warm and reassuring, he is quick to respond to calls and emails, never leaving me to wonder about my case, and above all else he is incredibly knowledgeable and amazing at what he does. Jim Sexton is exactly who you want in your corner and I can’t thank him enough.

The Divorce Trial Lawyer You Want On Your Side!

I hired James and his firm for my contentious divorce and custody matter. As an executive I've dealt with my share of lawyers and was no stranger to the problems with trusting sensitive matters to someone billing you by the hour. With a relatively high net worth and diverse asset profile I knew I had... to be careful in selecting my lawyer as many would "see me coming" and "cash in" on the challenges I was facing. I'm so thankful I found Jim - who always seemed to put my interests first and not the billable hour. His office is high tech and makes a point of using technology to provide fast responses and access to your attorney when you need it. Weekends. Nights. Jim was always a phone call away and made me feel protected 24/7. When it was time for trial (my ex and her attorney wouldn't agree to any reasonable settlement) Jim was incredible in the Courtroom and had a presence and knowledge of procedure and evidence that could only be described as masterful. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking smart, ethical and talented counsel for a divorce or custody matter. He's the guy you want on your side. My case is over now (we settled very favorably for me after 3 days of trial - shortly after Jim cross examined my now ex-wife and made her fold on the stand) but I know I've made a friend and trusted advisor for life. Thanks Jim!
