james and the giant ankle

James is an excellent attorney. He always answered my questions honestly, even if he it wasnt the answer I was looking for. He explained all of the proceedings in detail, so I wasnt overwhelmed with all of the chaos. I truely believe that James has a bright career ahead of him in his field, and in t...he future I would not hesitate to call upon him for legal representation.

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.
