Jim was amazing to work with from the very start, through the long journey and until the end. He tells you what you need to hear and has a great strategy. He is clearly an amazing attorney and does his job with much strength but without undue aggression. Will be forever grateful he took on my complic...ated disaster of a divorce.

I highly recommend Jim and his staff. Jim approached my case with care, skill, and diligence. His communication was frequent, clear, and concise. Jim was always beyond prepared for every court date. His strategy was spot on, on all fronts, as well as taking the high road when possible. He was co...rrect across the board. We were successful in every court proceeding for 9-yrs!!!

I hired Siemens Family Law Group in Asheville, NC when I found myself facing an unexpected (and adversarial) divorce process. I specifically requested Jim Siemens, and I'm so glad I did. He is knowledgeable, responsive, and kind. He helped me get through this difficult process without compromising hi...s integrity or mine. Jim's advice literally saved me from financial peril because it put me in a much better negotiating position. He had my back throughout the divorce mediation process. Both Jim and his assistant Dorothy were great to work with and I highly recommend this firm.

Jim understood the dynamics of my high conflict case right away. He laid ground rules to follow to reduce the conflict and build the foundation of my successful custody trial. I did not always agree with Jim’s advice but I trusted him and followed it. He could not have been more right, at every tu...rn! Jim is a straight shooter and will tell you the things you don’t want to hear but need to. Jim handled my case with forethought, empathy, personal attention, and peaceful resolution. I highly recommend Jim Siemens for divorce and custody representation. I feel you will benefit from Jim being involved in your proceedings but you will fare much better with him working in your favor.

Short headline: I am a guy and I got the house, maintained my financial standard of living, and got primary custody of the kids. Jim has represented me over a few years with actions including mediations, and a custody trial. Jim is thoughtful, careful, methodical, and truthful. In our custody tria...l we were up against a defendant who was extremely calculating and planned out her entire life around trying to malign and alienate me from my boys. The defendant had set traps for me and engineered no-win situations non-stop for two years leading up the trial and played the victim effectively enough to manipulate even seasoned mental health professionals to her advantage. We were absolutely in the right, but it was an extremely difficult case to prove. Jim took the time to trudge through the backstory with me, to exhaustively pour over evidence, and to listen to me put the flex points of the case into perspective. He found the handles, the leverage in the case and crafted a clearly understandable and winning message to communicate with the court. At the conclusion of testimony, he delivered a closing argument which so clearly explained the aspects of the case and so effectively tied our points to incontrovertible evidence that opposing counsel was unable to respond with a coherent counter argument in their closing. The judge ruled in our favor without further deliberation. Beyond his best of breed trial skills, Jim has the depth of knowledge to help you navigate the entirety of the process. He will help you put your situation in context, find the best approach given the circumstance, and keep you moving forward. You may be regretting some of your life decisions and this process can be painful and draining. Hiring Jim means your story will be clearly understood by the courts, your interests will be fiercely represented, and your life will begin again sooner than you think.
