A Attorney you can depend on

I would tell anyone who needs a lawyer to call attorney James Copeland. He will go above and beyond what is expected of him. I have never known of an attorney that will come out to your house if needed. Attorney James Copeland has the up most respect for his clients. He will never leave you strande...d. He will stick with you until the job is done and you are satisfied with the outcome. I will take my hat off to attorney James Copeland. Please don’t miss a blessing by not calling Attorney James Copeland when you need a lawyer because he is the best of the best and very trustworthy, knowledgeable and respectful. Thank you again attorney James Copeland

Top Tier Attorney for Construction Litigation

James is an experienced, kind and genuine attorney. He takes the time to explain every detail and every step of his strategy, along with the pros and cons. Hiring James was the best decision I ever made. He takes the time to understand the case and actually takes the time to read case law and explain... the rulings. I would rehire him in a heartbeat.

My experience to share

I hired Mr. Copeland to help with a case that was brought against my wife and me. He listened to my case and provided me with valuable advice. He was able to work with the attorney of the plaintiff to dismiss the case properly. He charged me exactly as he estimated for handling the case. I was very c...omfortable through out the process.

Excellent attorney

James is professional, experienced, and a pleasure to work with. I recommend him to anyone that needs a good attorney. He did a fantastic job advising me and managing my real estate venture from inception to sale.

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. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
