Highly Recommend Mr. Poindexter

Mr. Poindexter, and the rest of the Delegal & Poindexter firm, were outstanding. They were open and honest about the potential outcome of my case; there were no surprises. I would like to point out that I was contacted by Mr. Poindexter late on a Saturday night regarding specifics about my case. I... truly appreciated the fact that he was working on my case during those late hours, which is a testament to their dedication toward their client(s). Mr. Poindexter's negotiation skills are extraordinary; you won't be disappointed. I am truly grateful for the Delegal & Poindexter firm taking on my case and fighting for a positive outcome.

An excellent attorney; he will win the case for you

I had reviewed a few employment and labor attorneys/firms online and consulted a couple before being referred to his firm. His firm was recommended by another attorney and having that endorsement made it an easy choice for me. When I am looking for a specialist in a field, I expect that professional ...to know his/her trade like the back of their hand. James is very knowledgeable and diligent, and meticulous in his approach. He was very quick to grasp the nitty-gritty of my situation. I would have to say that my case was probably a little unusual and it turned out to be more complicated than I had initially foreseen but that did not faze James. He outlined the probable outcomes and developed a course of action. He gave good advice and patiently answered my numerous questions. His negotiation skills are par excellence and I believe that clinched the matter in my favor in the end. I would strongly recommend Attorney James Poindexter to anyone looking for legal counsel or representation in the area of employment related issues. He will meet or exceed your expectations.

Excellent Service

James and staff stayed on top of everything. They were able to get everything I asked for. They really went to bat for me.

Very good experience

James, Tad, and the Delegal team were exactly what I needed. They met with me, explained my employment documents to me, explained in detail my options and helped guide me through the terrain. James, in particular, got back to me day and night via phone and email to support and guide me to make ...the best decision for me and my family. Tad & James also helped me find a good legal firm for my In-law's affairs.

Retaliation lawsuit

Mr. Poindexter was very detailed, knowledgeable, and assertive with my pending lawsuit against my previous employer. We settled out of court. Mr. Poindexter is excellent with communication as well.

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.
