I wish I found him sooner

He has been the person I needed from day one on my Divorce. After finding out my 2nd lawyer did absolutely nothing but file 1 form over the course of 6 months and almost lost me everything in court, James was willing to step up and give me the representation I should have had all along. He is on top ...of everything the court and opposing lawyer does and/or files and is very passionate about getting the results I deserve. He is honest, direct and prompt, which I appreciate a ton. Along with keeping me very well informed on the progress. For the first time I actually feel safe knowing I have the right Lawyer on my side.

Awful man

This man has gone after my family time and time after again over an already settled case. He is ruthless and a terrible person.

Excellent Lawyer

After several calls and struggling to find a lawyer. I highly recommend this law firm to anyone and would gladly refer my friends. They were the only ones to confidently take my case! They are a very honest and loyal and committed Law firm! Jim & Heather spent years working on my case and won and got... me the compensation I deserved! Jim was an absolute gentleman, very sympathetic and supportive of me while I took a stand in court. He was very good at debating my case! Jim and Heather are very skilled at what they do, modest, and very professional, always kept me posted on the status of our results!
