Extremely Satisfied on Multiple Occasions

My wife and I retained Jim multiple times over the years. He has represented us in real estate transactions, done estate planning (wills/trusts) for our family, and, most recently, set up a charitable organization for us. He also provided sage advice to our family on elder law issues. Jim- and his ...team - time and again proved to be professional, accessible and knowledgeable. I never hesitate to recommend the firm to friends and family.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
