Poor Communication

This Lawyer WILL NOT return calls or even answer his email. I would like to say his secretary is better but she won’t even give you a reply either.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Jim for over 20 years and found him to be honest and highly skilled. As opposing counsel, Jim was reasonable in aspects which we knew how the court would rule and protected his clients interests very well. The character of the man is extremely high and beyond reproach, and his competency as a lawyer is outstanding."
