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.

An Excellent and Compassionate Attorney

James Sarna helped me with a real estate matter-- selling and buying houses. His manner was respectful and he was responsive, thorough, and knowledgable in the course of advising and effecting both closings. His demeanor was calm, yet persistent, leaving no stone unturned and attentive to every detai...l. Mr. Sarna also helped my aunt with a bankruptcy situation and what struck my aunt and me immediately was the compassion with which he handled the entire process, which could have been very traumatic for my aunt. There was a happy ending and my aunt can go into her retirement without trauma. I would definitely call upon Mr. Sarna again for any legal matter or advice.

Personable, Knowledgeable, Results Driven!

I needed to retain an Attorney to help me resolve an extremely complicated multi-state issue involving asset protection, LLC’s and commercial property. At our first meeting, I felt immediately comfortable with James as he listened to my needs. He dissected each “movable part” of the matter and respon...ded with a plan of action. Throughout the process, James has made me feel like I’m the most important client that he and his firm has. He is always available for direct access through phone, email and meetings. Although James retains a kind, compassionate and patient demeanor, he is smart, aggressive and tough. When it comes to fighting for you, he is results driven. The level of commitment that James has displayed towards me and my case is outstanding….I am one very satisfied client.

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.
