James J. Rainsford's Lawyer Endorsements
"I've had the pleasure of consulting with James on a number of matters and have watched him litigate a number of different and difficult cases. He is a compassionate, intelligent, and effective litigator in both criminal and civil matters. James is undoubtedly one of the best young trial lawyers in this state."
"James has a high reputation in his legal community, and hiring him allows that reputation to precede you as well. He delivers results through attention to detail and a zealous commitment to his clients. Perhaps most importantly, James works well with other attorneys and the court system in general, which is an increasingly rare skill often undervalued by clients. James has the skills to get clients' cases resolved punctually and without undue strain, but he also has the skills to take your case the distance when full blown litigation is the only way out."
"We have worked together on several litigation matters. James is extremely professional and intelligent and has an outstanding reputation in the community."
"James and I have worked against and with each other on many matters over the years. James is a bulldog and technician and serves his clients very well."
"James is consistently hard working, ethical, and well respected in the community. He is a skilled advocate and an asset to the entire legal community. They are dedicated to their clients and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of their services."
"James has a good reputation for quality representation of his clients. He has a aggressive style that works well with the most difficult litigation cases."
