Fast and Easy

After being separated for 8+ years, I thought it was about time to get divorced. My soon to be ex-husband did not want to pay for it. He could have cared less but told me he will sign. Finding James must have been fate. I took my chances and started the process. I was impressed with a timely receipt ...of e-mails, instructions and not to mention the price. I will definitely recommend his services for a quick and speedy divorce.

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.
