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.

+Medical Malpractice suit

Mr. Painter was thoroughly aware of all facets of the case. He understood my thoughts and decisions in my care of my patient and answered my questions patiently. That he was experienced was clear to me and was accessible. I felt very comfortable with Mr. Painter

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.

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!

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 pro...vide 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.
