In 1995, I was in a serious wreck, and the insurance company was dragging the case out and not treating me fairly. Eventually, I got them to do the right thing. However, I was so angry, I decided to go to Wake Forest Law School. Since then, I have been fighting for plaintiffs, and I have tried and handled cases all over North Carolina.

I was in a bad car accident and the other insurance company was terrible. They fought me every step of the way: car repair, loaner car, medical bills and depreciated value--the last straw was them trying to repair my car with use parts.....a 2 year old car. I asked around who a good attorney w...

I was very pleased by the way Attorney James Roane and his staff handled the lawsuit against the nursing home in the death of my wife. Attorney Roane is very sensitive to the needs and feelings of his clients. I would recommend to any person in need of legal guidance.

When James was hired as my attorney I didn't even know I was alive. I was a passenger in an automoblie traveling home from the beach after spending a few days down there for a quick vacation, when the automobile I was a passenger in was struck head on by a drunk driver. That left me being the only ...
"I endorse this lawyer. James is an amazing lawyer, who fights relentlessly for his clients. James is extremely knowledgeable and an outstanding trial attorney."
"I wholeheartedly endorse James. He is a true warrior for his clients, leaving no stone unturned in his efforts to get them the full measure of justice they deserve. Ethical, intelligent, personable, he is a real champion for those who need him most."
"I have handled cases with James and been an arbitrator on one of his cases. Thus, I have seen him in action on many occasions. He is a fearless lawyer who dares his opposition to take him to trial. In a world where a lot of "trial lawyers" will do anything to avoid actually trying a case, James is always ready to go."
"I endorse this lawyer. James is an excellent lawyer. His care and compassion for his clients is matched only by his work ethic and hard work."
"As a fellow attorney, I am pleased to have the opportunity to endorse James M. Roane III. I have known James since we attended law school together at Wake Forest. There are a lot of plaintiffs' attorneys who have catchy ads, but I can tell you as an absolute certainty that the Roane Law commericials describing James' own personal ordeal are heartfelt, genuine and real. James knows from first-hand experience what it is like to take on the insurance companies and to fight for just and fair compensation for ordinary citizens - he's done it not only for clients but also for himself. Clients of Roane Law can be assured that James will be a fierce advocate who will always work hard for them."
"I endorse this lawyer. Jamie does a great job for his clients and has obtained some very nice results for clients. He is diligent in preparing a case and he cares about the people he represents."
"James is a pit bull with a huge heart! He does not accept no for an answer. He will take on cases that other attorneys can't or won't handle. He will see the case all the way through. He is never afraid to take a case to trial, in fact he would rather litigate the case then settle it. His incredible trial record speaks for itself. When you need a true plaintiff's attorney who will not stop fighting for your case until the jury delivers its verdict, James Roane should be at the top of your list. Unfortunately because of time, he is only able to handle very serious cases. I called James at 11pm on a Friday night to get his help with a death case of a child and he took the time to evaluate the case and called the client Saturday morning. He is extremely dedicated to his work and his pursuit of justice for his clients. I can recommend him without any reservation. He has the highest level of integrity and his ethics are beyond compare."
"James Roane is one of those rare lawyers that has demonstrated the ability to consistenly win large personal injury verdicts. Not only is he an extremely effective advocate, but he is very personable and of the highest character. I strongly recommend James Roane."
"The public has vast options when choosing a law firm, but not all firms are created equally. Without reservation, I recommend James Roane because he understands the hardships faced by injured persons and their families. James has no time for frivolous lawsuits; he is too busy standing up against big insurance companies for our neighbors, friends and family members. While always compassionate and courteous, he knows when it is appropriate to unleash as an unrelenting warrior against the opposition. James' time as my supervising attorney afforded me a first hand glimpse of what client advocacy means. If more attorneys kept the focus and determination that James exemplifies, the profession would not carry the tarnished reputation it has today. In the classroom, I frequently use James and his 'war stories' as examples of how an honorable attorney conducts business. Roane Law puts PEOPLE above profits; a concept that the big triad law firms have either forgotten or never really knew in the first place."
