Great attorney

I want to express my most sincere thanks for the most professional representation. You have stuck by me through this hard time in dealing with this very stressful case. I admire your composure, work ethic and most of all excellent representation I would 100% recommend !!!!

Highly Recommend

Jelani was more than great I can’t think him enough he listened to everything I told him and was very patient with my sensitive case. He communicated with me about every step that was being taken and made sure I understood everything pertaining to the matter.

5-Star Service

I could not be more satisfied with being represented by JD James & Associates. Our initial call lasted 30 minutes. JD listened attentively, asked probing questions, and provided honest responses. Not once did I feel rushed. In all, JD clearly explained everything I need to move forward. Looking forwa...rd to continuing our attorney-client relationship!

Best decision I have made in a long time!

I consulted with Jelani in regards to my case of my car being stolen and the particulars around the incident and what my liability was. I immediately could tell during the consultation that Jelani was the right fit for my case and had my best interest at heart. He became the point of contact for me i...n conversations with the insurance company. He helped me hire private investigation into the whereabouts of the vehicle and also through the process with the car manufacturer and the holder of the loan. When police and insurance companies get involved it can be scary. They will ask you for information and you don’t know what is necessary or what is legal. Insurance companies are not your friend they don’t want to pay you out. I’m happy I had Jelani in my corner. I had felt so attacked without him. I would highly recommend Jelani to anyone in need of legal support.

There isn’t much that Jalani doesn’t know. His knowledge and professionalism is unmatched. His response time is the best I have ever seen in this business. He wasn’t only able to deliver on a contract I needed but he asked me questions that I was not aware of that helped me so much. His understanding... of the business is unmatched. Highly recommend.

  • 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.
