Dependable and Respectful

I worked with Mr. Jim Gordon and the team after my brother-in-law recommended their practice. I was not disappointed! For almost 2.5 years (while I received treatment from a rear end collision), I was in contact with the agency regularly. The communication was swift, easy to understand, and kind. Eve...n though I was in Gainesville, FL the whole time, any question I had was answered timely by email, phone call, or video conference. Mr. Gordon was a fierce negotiator and I couldn't have closed this case as peacefully as I did without his efforts. Overall I appreciated how organized and respectful they made the whole process! I would absolutely work with them again.

Unbelievable!

I imagine Jim regrets having ever given me his number!!! I met Jim a few years ago and was taken aback by an honest and sincere interest in helping his clients. The impression put him in a completely different tier in my book so I was certain to keep his number hoping to never need it. Well, unfor...tunately that wasn't the case. I called Jim from the side of the turnpike expecting a machine. Instead I got an answer and guidance on my situation. He simply guided me to caring for my needs. Due to the circumstances, I had no case, but I sure had an experienced and caring individual who was able to guide me when I was in an unfamiliar position. Further, knowing I had no case, Jim even followed up with me after I got home from the ER and then again a week or so later. He had nothing to gain- he just cared! My experiences with Jim then left me with a level of comfort that when one of my dearest friends was involved in an accident to no fault of his own totaling his truck I directed him straight to Jim! He took proper care of my friend throughout his case. If you find yourself even wondering if you may need an attorney there's only one call to make! Give Jim a holler. He'll direct you accordingly with your interest in mind.

Very Caring Attorney!!!!

Jim was more than willing to meet my mother in law in Ocala after she was in a serious car accident. She was in pretty bad shape and he was able to talk her through everything to where she could understand what and when everything was going to happen. His office staff sent her updates each week and ...anytime something new developed. Jim was very caring and gentle with her. I recommend Jim Gordon and his partner David Beers for any of your personal injury needs!!!

Help point us in the right direction

Was looking for help with resolving an issue with sellers of a property we just moved into. Spoke with Jim Gordon and helped us know what our options are. It was nice to get honest advice and gave us ideas on how to deal with the issue. I felt the advice was really helpful and asked if we had ques...tions at the end and wanted to make sure we were clear on what we could do. Jim was very quick in calling us back and took the time to listen to our needs.

An Attorney that will get the job done for you

Jim has been very patient and responsive in keeping me informed regarding my auto accident. He has been in constant contact with the at fault insurance company. He has provided me with excellent guidance and advice pertaining to my legal matters. I highly recommend Jim if you are in need of an... attorney.

Jim is a dedicated and diligent attorney with the highest of ethical standards. All clients that have been referred to him speak highly of him. I cannot recommend Jim highly enough."
