Jim Siemens is the attorney for best divorce and settlement outcome

From the moment I first walked through the door at Siemens Family Law I knew I was in the right place. The office atmosphere was calm, caring and supportive. Jim listened and made sure we both understood all the aspects of what we were discussing. . He worked with me to settle my equitable distribu...tion, and insisted I not do anything I was uncomfortable with. He pointed out things I overlooked and I clarified things I was unsure he understood. Jim Siemens worked for and with me to get the best possible distribution outcome. After years of attempts at reaching a distribution settlement with my ex, I was able to finally get a satisfactory settlement with Jim's counsel and end that chapter. Jim is a genuinely good man who conducts himself with honor and is there to get the best outcome for his client. He does not waste his client's time or money. I have recommended him to several people in need of great legal counsel because I feel he is the best.

Superior, result driven representation

Jim represented me through a very difficult divorce and custody trial. Through one of the most difficult and emotionally charged times of my life, Jim and his staff always promptly responded to my questions and concerns, were expeditious in their communications and filings with the court and attorney...s, and above all provided realistic and comprehensive legal advice that provided me with results. Jim is a highly competent and communicative attorney. Look no further if you want precise, effective, efficient, and result driven representation!

An Excellent Choice

Having personally retained the services of Jim Siemens I can say he has earned his reputation as a preeminent family law practitioner in WNC. Jim evaluated my case honestly and cast a clear vision for how we would go about working with the other side to accomplish our goals. He was methodical in his ...considerations yet decisive in his actions on my behalf. He displayed the ability to be congenial to build consensus with the other side while still being insistent on points we couldn't, in good conscience, concede. If you are considering your options for representation, I encourage you to spend an hour with Jim. In the time with him you will clearly see a professional that not only knows what he is doing, but has the resolve to lead you through. My children's lives will be better because of the work Jim did. I won't ever be able to thank him enough for that.

The Best Attorney and Family Law Practice in Asheville

Jim Siemens was my divorce attorney. My father was an attorney and I grew up among attorneys so I am familiar with their practices and principles, both good and bad. At my initial meeting with Jim Siemens, it took me 20 seconds to realize I was in great hands. Jim is one of the smartest men I have... ever met. His his support team of associates and assistants is phenomenal - they exceeded all of my expectations. Jim does not waste time, overbill or engage in unnecessary, hurtful legal games. He guided me through the divorce process very methodically to ensure the safety of my children. With an inordinately well-crafted, practical approach at problem solving, he realistically manages expectations and makes your children's best needs his top priority. My case was very unusual, and how he got results for my children and me was, in short, brilliant. His firm also provided me with value-added services which enabled me to transition through a divorce into a new life in Asheville. I received invaluable legal guidance in helping me deal with a parent with dementia and top shelf estate planning. I trust Jim Siemens implicitly and will continue to use his firm with future legal needs.

Outstanding attorney completely devoted to helping clients

Upon meeting Jim Siemens, it was clear that he is very compassionate and dedicated to guiding his clients through a very complex divorce legal system with professional competence. Early in my case, it was apparent that Jim had substantial experience handling divorce cases in Buncombe County. His e...xtensive knowledge, vast professional resources and experience were used throughout my case to my advantage. Jim has outstanding communication skills and proved to be a very prompt and effective communicator. I was often surprised by how accessible he was in responding to emails and phone calls about my case. I appreciated that he told me not only what I wanted to hear, but also what I did not want to hear and needed to hear. His communication style is clear and he communicates both the good and the bad. I felt Jim valued my time, as my case was settled in the timeframe that we both defined and agreed upon. My case did not drag on and I appreciated the prompt conclusion of my case, so that I could move on to more important areas of my life. Jim’s volunteer service extends to Asheville and beyond. During my case, Jim traveled to Haiti with other volunteers from Consider Haiti to serve children who were in desperate need of medical care. The staff of Siemens Family Law Group is professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. They will make it a priority to provide sound legal advice through a multitude of professional resources. They did everything possible to make me comfortable in the very uncomfortable position of divorce. I am confident in Siemens Family Law Group as they have earned my trust and I recommend Jim Siemens and his outstanding staff without hesitation. I am so grateful my friends recommended Jim Siemens to me.
