Great attorney for family law

Mr. Warren is an excellent attorney to have in your corner from the beginning all the way until the end of settlements. I personally had a previous subpar attorney before retaining Mr. Warren. Thankfully I retained his services. Mr. Warren fought for me intensively to seek fairness in reference to c...hild custody, child support, and overall divorce proceedings. Divorce can be a nasty situation without proper representation. It doesn’t have to be if you have someone representing you who will look with an objective lens. I would highly recommend Mr. Warren if you need someone to dig in and fight for you. He’s not some “foot on the desk relaxed guy” who will promise you the moon and stars, but when you show up in court with him you will have one of the best, if not the best, attorney beside you.

Exceptional Attorney - Highly Recommend - Detailed Reference Available upon Request

Attorney Jim Warren is an exceptional attorney in all respects. Attorney Warren is extremely skilled in the practice of family law and will fight for your rights and the rights of your children in family court more than any attorney I have ever observed. He won full physical and legal custody for me ...for my daughter in the permanent trial just as he did during the TPA or Temporary Parenting Arrangement hearing. Additionally, Attorney Warren has represented me since the initial custody case on other occasions and has always done a high quality job and has obtained the results that have been in the best interest of my child. I am more than happy to provide a reference for Attorney Warren for any prospective clients and speak with anyone directly. I highly recommend that you select Attorney Warren to represent you in family court. If you are interested in getting a detailed client reference from me, please contact Attorney Warren's office and request to contact me. Thank you. Emilie H.

Poor Choice for a divorce attorney

Mr. Warren seems to know his business, but wastes time (billable to the client of course) and charges too much. The initial quote I was given almost doubled by the time we were through for no other reason than the fact that he wanted to prolong what was in my case a very simple divorce. I was even bi...lled for time correcting mistakes that his office made. I would NOT recommend this attorney.

Best Attorney in Town (my opinion of course)

I was sued by my ex and was in need of an attorney to defend myself. I had met with another attorney (prior to Jim) and came out of the meeting more confused and scared than when I went into the meeting. I had told a friend about my experience and they said I needed to call Jim. When I met Jim, I... knew immediately he was my man. Jim is extremely knowledgeable and is very experienced. He calmed my nerves and answered all of my questions. I came out of the meeting with a sense of confidence knowing he was on my side. I ended up gong to trial and Jim was amazing to watch as he cross examined the witnesses and plaintiff. Jim has a gift. We ended up flipping the table and I was awarded full primary and physical custody of my son. I'm very blessed to have Jim as my attorney and he will always be my go to guy.

Oustanding person and attorney

Mr. Warren has represented me through my very complicated divorce. He has been extremely thorough in explaining everything to me. He has never told me what I want to hear and has instead given me an objective appraisal of the situation with the possible alternative solutions. He is honest and consci...entious and always tried to help me solve the matter to avoid unnecessary expenditures. When all attempts failed at resolving the problem through a settlement we went to trial. Mr. Warren is an exceptional trial attorney. He is well organized, prepares well for the trial and argues for you articulately and with precise arguments based on the law and case law. He is a master in the courtroom. I would and have recommended Mr. Warren to friends. I am glad to have met him and I am thankful for his counsel.
