Very hardworking and honest attorney.

We were told about Jim from a friend of ours. We needed an attorney to help us with a suit that was filed by our neighbor claiming their dog was bitten by ours. We couldn't believe this was true. Jim walked us step by step through the process, was able to work hand in hand with the insurance compa...ny's retained attorney on our behalf. The matter was quickly resolved through a dismissal so the suit against us. We would recommend him to anyone. He is a very reliable, hardworking, and trustworthy person.

Avvo Rating

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.
