Amazing, Professional, Dedicated

James Gross is an extremely dedicated lawyer. He is extremely professional and knowledgeable. He fought hard for the outcome in my case and always responded to any questions (of which there were many) or concerns I had promptly and took the time to explain everything to me. He was there for me every... step of the way and I was so glad to have him in my corner! He checked in frequently throughout the duration of the court case. He cares deeply about his clients and the outcomes. He fought and got a better outcome for my case than I dared hope for after previous experiences with different lawyers. I could honestly not recommend a better, more skilled lawyer.

Saved our family

James Gross was a life saver at one of the worst times in our lives. No one would believe her plea of innocence except Mr. Gross. He got 8 felony charges YES 8 felony charges completely dropped. Mr. Gross never did the minimum and really set out to prove her innocence in anyway he could. Can't recomm...end Mr gross enough. God bless people like him. Without him our family would have lost everything.

Great every step of the way!

He was on top of this case from the start and kept me update the entire time. And he won the case.

Fights for his client

James Gross really helped me out of a bind! He makes you feel heard, understood, and very easy to talk to. Has extreme knowledge and is respectful and dose not talk down to you. Definitely fights for his clients and for a good solid outcome. Reasonable priced and professional. I will be using Jim fo...r all my legal needs going forward.

Didn’t finish case, took money

Hired James for 3k , we paid the full, but he dropped out of my case the day of court months later due to a better job offer, we are poor, we used all the savings we had to save my child with non verbal Autism from being with his negligent, abusive/suicidal father. We didn’t get a penny back, as he s...pent it instead of what others lawyers do, set aside. We were still step 1 in our fight. His last words were “at least I found out some information for you, you wouldn’t have that…….” Google could have given me that info. I was blind sided having not been through this with a lawyer before, I agreed to dropping him as my lawyer because I thought a lawyer would be stepping in or he would be filing one last petition,, nothing was detailed or explained to me, i was shocked when he told the court that I (me!)) wanted the case to be dismissed and right there it was over, I cried for weeks! Don’t use James gross for a custody lawyer.
