President

A year ago my husband passed away and left me with a nightmare of multi million dollars worth of debt. Thank God for James. He was able to unravel every detail of a disaster, working with banks and their attorneys, real estate attorneys, auctions, etc., keeping me informed every step of the way. Jam...es kept me sane throughout. I couldn’t have gone through this last year without his services. He’s the best! I’m sorry I could only rate James with 5 stars, he deserves a 10 at the very least.

A proactive lawyer who gets the job done

I have been a client of Jim's for over a year now. During this course of time, Jim has demonstrated how well informed he really is on bankruptcy and issues dealing with the SBA. My first consultation before becoming a client of Jim's, he took the time to thoroughly explain to me all the different s...teps I would be going through in shutting down my business and bringing to close the dealing with the Bank and SBA. Jim doesn't try to spend any extra time on my case in order to collect more revenue, in fact he does the opposite while still getting the results he's looking for. Couldn't think of a more knowledgeable lawyer who also explains everything in a manner in-which I can understand

Review

It was a pleasure working with James while having to deal with a obstinate bank and an equally obstinate outside counsel. Even though I was not in his state, he dealt with all legal matters and coordinated with my in-stae counsel. I was very lucky to achieve a reasonable outcome. Gratitude to all ...involved.

Outstanding Legal Representation for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy

James did an outstanding job with my Chapter 7 Bankruptcy case. The bankruptcy process can cause a lot of anxiety, but James was able to inform and guide me through the whole process, step-by-step. He always provided me with clear descriptions of the process and all my options throughout. His high... level of service and his understanding of the bankruptcy process helped to alleviate my concerns as I knew my case was in good hands. I highly recommend James if you're in need of similar services.

Calm, analytical, pragmatic.

I run a small commercial real estate company with multiple entities, including S-corps, an LLC and an estate. James is in the process of helping us update buy/sell agreements and corporate governance and loan documents. James saved our Estate a significant bit of money in a negotiation with the IR...S involving an unfortunate situation stemming from the real estate collapse of 2008. Our initial Offer in Compromise (recommended by James) was transferred from office to office within the IRS. James’ persistence kept the door open when it seemed the IRS wanted to close the case, and we finally got our hearing. During the hearing, his calm demeanor and knowledge of the situation were clearly appreciated by the examiner (and certainly by me). I’m very pleased with the outcome.
