Mr Painter has represented my organization on multiple occasions. Each time he has done his homework extremely well and worked very effectively to bring resolution to the matters at hand. Mr Painter is very knowledgeable in his fields of practice, an insightful and quick thinker and a consummate professional. I give him and his firm my highest recommendation.
Jim was very supportive and understanding from the beginning. Going through my first med malpractice case was very distressing but he made the process much easier. He has a lot of medical knowledge, he is organized and logical, readily available and your biggest advocate.

Excellent lawyer
Mr. Painter has worked on two cases for me, both of which were ultimately dismissed due to his tireless efforts. I would recommend him without reservation.

Jim Painter is highly recommended
Jim Painter is a very sharp attorney whose attention to detail gives him the advantage in litigation. I have been impressed with his ability to quickly master complex issues and move cases forward. He surrounds himself with a talented team of lawyers and support staff who work together to assure each case is thoroughly prepared. I watched Jim try a high exposure case in federal court, and it was a pleasure to watch his finely honed trial skills in action. The case eneded with a verdict in favor of his client. I look forward to working with Jim again in the future.

Medical Malpractice Claims Director
This is an experienced and seasoned litigator that continually achieves fabulous results for his clients. On multiple occasions, this lawyer has discovered pertinent hidden facts that were missed by other experienced attorneys representing co defendants in the same complex cases, that would later provide dismissals for his respective clients. Furthermore, should one need to proceed to trial to defend their position, one could not be in more capable hands. The continuous and unrivaled success can not be disputed.

Excellent malpractice lawyer
Mr Painter was the lead lawyer on the defense team for a malpractice case against me 2 years ago. He is tireless, smart, organized, attentive to detail, and excellent on court room strategy. He made it possible for me to contribute my medical expertise to the case, which both made the case stronger and helped me to feel a part of my defense. I would rehire him in a minute if I am ever faced with another malpractice claim. We won the case by jury verdict!

A superior lawyer
Jim Painter is an outstanding lawyer. As a lawyer tasked with hiring counsel and working with them in the represention of my enterprise's interests, I routinely deal with a number of excellent attorneys throughout this region. Jim Painter stands out as a example of true professionalism: he brings to bear on each project a fierce dedication, and a patient and thourough focus on detail which enables him systematically dismantle the vulnerable aspects of opponents' cases. I have never seen any lawyer prepare a case more thoroughly. So long as he is available, I cannot imagine proceeding into high stakes medical malpractice litigation without having retained Jim to represent us.
