Jim will protect your freedom!

In a matter of one hour, Jim helped me settle a Civil Rights violation my employer was trying to impose against me by forcing me to go against my religious beliefs or face an unpaid, open ended suspension. I contacted lawyers all over the east coast for almost two weeks and no one would take my case... until I found Jim. He was attentive, passionate and got the job done. If I ever need legal advice again, I’ll be heading straight to Jim.

James has handled all my legal needs promptly and professionally. He actually went to the hospital (without me asking) to facilitate POA paperwork for my critically ill father. He represented my teenage son after a traffic violation; the result = no points or insurance premium increase. Attorney W...elsh exceeded my expectations by providing his cellphone number and personally taking calls off hours and on weekends. He made appointments to work around my schedule. James has been my friend long before becoming an attorney. I can honestly say that Jim has not allowed successes to replace sensibility; he has helped many of our friends regardless of the complexity of their legal needs or ability to pay.

child custody

I retained Mr. Welsh six years ago, he has helped me through numerous child custody cases, as will child support. Mr. Welsh always represented me with professionalism, compassion, and at times as a friend. Mr. Welsh always exceeded my expectations. Currently Mr. Welsh is representing my husband and I... in a pending personal injury lawsuit.

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.
