Professional and Positive Experience

The offices of James Surane handled mediation on my behalf. As a result I was able to save money by getting the matter resolved out of court.

I do not recommend

I hired this law office to handle two evictions and judgments. I can never get anyone to answer the phone, cannot seem to figure out what is going on w my cases. So i am handling it all with the clerk of court and sheriffs office myself, while paying them. Find another law office to handle these issu...es for you.

Better to represent yourself

What a horrible experience, that's why they disabled the reviews on their Facebook page. I could never get anyone to respond to my emails. They waited a week before doing anything. I had two questions they absolutely ignored and then hysterically refused to answer. I wasn't even sure anyone would sho...w up to court for me. Sad excuse for attorneys, totally unprofessional. Was told me to schedule a consultation for $300 to ask two questions about my case, things that should have been disclosed to me anyway.

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.

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.
