Dont waste your money

The lawyer is very unprofessional. Would not listen to my concerns on my case. The lawyer is very unorganized and untimely. He proceeds to do work without the consent of client. Very arrogant when it comes to communicating with client matters. This lawyer does not have the best interest of clients a...nd i would highly recommend to look for other options in a legal represantation. Please look for another lawyer

100% excellent experience

I had a dependency case where my children were removed from my care. We were able to close the case with overnights and unsupervised and move into family court for 50/50. He is great with being aggressive when it needs to be done and very good at calming your nerves but being sure to not making any p...romises. This was involving my children, the number one priority in my life, and I trusted him with representing me. Highly recommend if you have your ducks in a row and need someone who will fight for you and invest in knowing your situation. Very responsive, easy to talk to and very educated.

Dependency Case

Jim is an awesome attorney! The bad reviews on here are from Dependency clients (State takes your children) Dependency clients who have free representation think they can call the attorney 24 hrs a day and when you don't get right back with them, they get upset.

Awesome Office

I had a losing case that he turned into a winning case. Not sure about those other people's comments but my expierence with that office was totally opposite. His assistant informed me of everything and was very patient with me in explaining the process.

Dont waste your time or money on him

An attorney is his not, didn’t care at all about my case just about getting paid. Extremely incompetent, after firing him I went pro se and did more for my case then he ever did.
