A lawyer that goes above and beyond

James is a lawyer who truly cares about the problems you are facing and is determined to help you find solutions. His communication was excellent and was always available for questions. His pricing was very fair, and I will not hesitate to contact James with any future legal matters.

Very knowledgeable and effective

James was very helpful and was able to come to a satisfactory resolution to my ISP subpoena issue

Posted by Nancy | September 28, 2022 | Consulted Attorney

Very knowledgeable, helpful, and kind.

James was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and helpful when I contacted him on behalf of a family member in prison having issues with getting medication. He helped me understand the legal issues involved, pointed me towards additional resources, and also offered to look into it (and has since contact...ed my family member to get more information). Saying that I'm grateful for his help is really an understatement (thank you again, James!) and I wouldn't hesitate to contact him again for other issues or recommend him.
