I would hire him again.

This man represented me in a domestic matter years ago, and I could not have asked for a more knowledgeable professional.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Demonstrated timidity in high profile case

Mr. James undertook the representation of our son in a delinquency case where the complaining witness was the daughter of two very high profile Philadelphia Assistant District attorneys, one having recently left for private practice. Despite ample evidence that the prosecutors misused their insider s...tatus to pursue the case, Mr James said that the prosecutors were "dangerous because of who they know" and so he didn't pursue any civil rights related issues. His firm's domain name is civil rightspa.com, ironically. As personable as Mr James is, nearly a year and a half later and many thousands of dollars in Mr James' legal fees, our son is still in limbo and at the mercy of these "dangerous" prosecutors.

Litigation lawyer | Sep 29

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Jon James is an exceptional litigator. I participated in a wrongful death case with him where there were numerous defense attorneys from big firms in the case as well. Complex factual and legal issues existed in this case that involved the origin and cause of a fire, the inadequacy of a fire protection system, as well as the inadequacy of the construction and design of a large residential housing facility for seniors. During the case, Jon's ability to examine witnesses was stellar and with his help the families of those who perished in the blaze were compensated. Jon is one of the best around to handle large profile catastrophic cases. His clients are lucky to have him."

  • 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.
