The best law firm ever
Mr Bell and his firm are the best. I wouldn't go anywhere else. I have recommended him to many friends. He is great, he worked very hard in both of my cases to get the best possible results. I couldn't have been happier with the results. I wouldn't use any other firm ever. The people that work with Mr Bell all do a great job. He was very professional and met all the deadlines for filling that we needed to meat in my case.

Responsive and Sharp
Bell and Bell took care of all the messy "communication" with my former employer. It was really comforting to know that someone was in my court and that I was in fact going to pull through this. I am extremely grateful for everything Jim did for me at a time when I was extremely vulnerable. I've recommended Jim to many friends with employment issues.
