Best decision in a bad situation

Jim Sexton was recommended to me by a friend who who had some friends who are attorneys. So essentially he was recommended by other attorneys. I knew going in that I was going to have a difficult divorce even if everything as Jim said was "black and white". As Jim and his team found out I was corr...ect. TEAM... that is what I was lucky enough to hire. Even though it is James Sexton's law practice, it was evident that he has a great team as well. At no time did I feel I could not contact Jim directly or any one of his team. I was always told how well things would go, but I was not promised a pot of gold. I was given honest answers and expectations in my case. Communication was excellent and always got quick responses if I had any questions. Copies of communications were always given to me to keep me informed and to make sure my opinions were listened to. Personally, I was treated not like a client, but more like a close friend or family. I can't tell you how often I would be in a poor mental or emotional state only to have Jim or his team give me a pick me up. These are things that go beyond just being an excellent attorney, but truly show how much Jim cares about his clients. I am an average person who wound up in horrible circumstances and made the best decision to hire Jim and his team to help make things better. I must add one more thing....If you have kids that are involved, I can't recommend Jim Sexton any higher. He puts a premium on making sure that kids matter and are not used, period. I give James Sexton my highest recommendation and hold him in the highest regard, as an attorney and a person.

Intelligent Articulate Professional and Passionate

Jim far exceeded my expectations. I had met with a few boring, self-interested 'older' lawyers who put me to sleep so when I met with Jim I was instantly blown away by his talent, passion and knowledge. He's extremely charismatic and always makes sure to explain complicated legal jargon so you co...mpletely understand it- he often uses great analogies that also make you laugh to lighten the seriousness of the situation. Jim always made time to answer my phone calls and emails and we often scheduled time to chat more in depth on nights and weekends. He is very committed and passionate and truly throws himself into his work. Most importantly he is an expert negotiator and an extremely likable person who seems to always get his way. I loved having Jim in my corner and wouldn't look anywhere else for legal advice in the future. He is truly a "Must Hire!"

Professional-Accessible-Detailed-Compassionate

I was in a terrible frame of mind when I met Mr. Sexton. Scared, confused, with no idea how or where to start. Within moments, I was at ease and felt like I could face the daunting tasks ahead of me and my family. He made the process more than bearable. He was considerate but gave me it to me straigh...t. I was never shocked or worried during any stage of my divorce. He was always there to prepare me for what was going to happen and was never wrong. I could not imagine how I would have made it threw without Mr. Sexton's council. I highly recommend Mr. Sexton and his team for their professionalism and deep compassion for my entire family. No one wants to go through a divorce, but if you do, this is the man you want on your side.

There should be a picture of him in the Oxford dictionary next to professional

My father said when choosing the right person for the job always pick the guy who is busy. If he doesn't have time to waste he will not waste yours! If he isn't busy he has nothing but time. I felt confident from start to finish when he said he would get back to me he or his staff did! He didn't ho...ld my hand he did his job, and did it above expectation.

Best Family Court Attorney Rockland Has to Offer

Highly recommend. Expert negotiator, skilled attorney, knows the court room. I've Been to every-other Family Court Attorney in the county, James Sexton was the only one who took control of major issues and delivered results. I started my divorce 8 years prior to hiring James. Three High Profile att...orneys cleaned out my bank account and I still was not divorced, and had a stock pile of unresolved issues. Things changed with Sexton on my side. Divorce settled quickly, Problems were resolved. Continues to have my back and has turned things around many times. James Sexton is an outstanding attorney, I'd have non other by my side in the court room. Best of all, He actually Cares.
