Distressed Healthcare Worker

Mr. Welsh responded to my phone message promptly, discussed my options openly and with genuine knowledge of my issue. Mr. Welsh kept in close contact, explained how his services would assist me start to finish with true concern and care. I’ve met quite a few Attorneys over my lifetime and Mr. Welsh s...tands out head and shoulders above the rest. I hope I never need a Lawyer again, if I do, Mr. Welsh will be my first choice!

A lawyer who actually cares!!!

I've been in a horrible custody case for over 4 yrs and gone thru 2 lawyers. Mr Welsh answered a question on here. I called the next day. He spent over 1 hr on the phone w me. I knew more about my case then the past 4 yrs. He didnt even asked me if I wanted him as my attorney. That was an easy decis...ion. My girls came w me he was perfect made them comfortable and u can tell he really cares. Thank u.

Excellent Attorney!!!!

We had a local lawyer handling our Workman's Comp case and she clearly had no idea what she was doing. We struggled for a year with no medical and no wage loss income. We emailed Jim explaining our situation and he immediately returned our email, took over our case and within a very short time we h...ad our medical and our wage loss. This guy knows the law. Excellent gentleman to deal with. You can expect an immediate response to calls and emails. This is the lawyer that you want handling your case. He fought vigorously for us and we received a very fair settlement.

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.
