It maybe time , fights gone

Jim , is a good lawyer very knowledgeable however we found it troublesome that we had to send requested paperwork on numerous occasions and having to call and check to ask why haven't you called to go over the paperwork in the case.We were told he didn't remember receiving it and please send again ... which happen on more then 1 occasion.As well it seemed he had no desire to fight for anything else but what was offered but excepted the easy way out ,Although he was very sympathetic and seemed caring we felt he had loss his fight that we were told he had over the many years he was know for at.his law practice. The case worked out ,however it wasn't an easy road having to constantly call and check in to discuss what he said was important details needed to be worked on for our case. Then to be told its not needed Each call seemed to be like the first starting from scratch each time . Very nice man , again extremely knowledgeable , caring. Perhaps some cases over so many years arent worth fighting for anymore .

Joel R. Weiss headshot
Joel Weiss

Tax fraud and tax evasion lawyer | Feb 04

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Jim Druker is a truly outstanding lawyer. He is bright, honorable and hard working. The net effect is that he is extremely effective. His reputation is impeccable and, in the areas of white collar and particularly tax defense he is known as a "lawyers lawyer" - the sort who other professionals, including experienced ones, go to for advice. I write few endorsements because I am a tough critic. In that context, I endorse Jim Druker with the greatest enthusiasm!"

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.
