A great attorney to use - will recommend him to anybody

I was injured in an auto accident in Chesapeake, VA. I have known Jim Hurley from a previous law firm. When he set up his own firm, I moved all my business to him because he did a great job on the accident. I like his personality. He's a very caring person and he's very fair. I had a good result an...d he told me the truth all the time. He lets you know what he can do and what he can't do.

Review

My experience with James Hurley was very positive and professional. The efficiency of his staff was impeccable. If I had any questions they were immediately answered. Even after many years since my accident I still hear from James Hurley . I have recommended him to several of my friends and I will ...continue to do so.

Thank you Jim Hurley

I want to give a huge thanks to the Cooper Hurley Injuries Lawyers. Especially to Jim Hurley, he has been the most helpful lawyer I've ever worked with. Not only did he take into account everything I was hoping to accomplish, he also made it a quick and painless experience. I would highly recommend h...im to anybody I know, or anybody who is in need of his assistance. He is certainly the best at what he does. Thank you again Jim Hurley!

Cooper Hurley Group

I was injured in an auto accident that wasn’t my fault a year ago. I received back and neck injuries that required physical therapy. I didn’t realize just how difficult and painful it would be to perform everyday activities like driving or working at my desk. And of course then the bills started to ...come in. I’ve never dealt with something like this and needed help. My girlfriend’s brother is an attorney so of course I turned to him for advice. He recommended someone who specializes in personal injury cases; he recommended the Cooper Hurley Group. Jim Hurley and his group were wonderful. They handled everything and kept me informed of the progress along the way. I couldn’t be more pleased with the service I received and especially the settlement. If you’re in need of a personal injury attorney you couldn’t find a more competent and professional firm than the Cooper Hurley Group.

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.
