A lawyer with integrity
I had the good fortune of consulting with James on multiple occasions on a wide variety of matters. While consultation with attorneys is a regular and routine aspect of my role over the past 20+ years, I have yet to meet anyone with a command of the legal system as James. Whether it’s regulatory compliance or confronting abuses, James is the attorney you want in your corner. And as impressive as his legal prowess may be, James is an even better person. I cannot recommend James highly enough.

A Stellar Attorney
I have used Mr. James Embrey’s legal services on multiple occasions regarding human resource and transportation operations. James’ insight, wisdom and keen acumen have continued producing projected results set forth at our engagement’s outset. Beyond this litigious skill is a soulful man, who truly cares for his client and their legal issues. His commitment to outstanding representation is reflective in the manner matters are carried from start to finish: reliable; stays in communication; always prepared in advance—completing work well before hard lines; never lacking solutions to deal with unknowns; a man committed to the law. I will continue to seek the help James Embrey; and would highly recommend his services to anyone in need of incomparable legal counsel.

Knowledgeable and Personable
I worked with James as General Counsel for a Nationwide Auto Claim Unit and consulted multiple times regarding negotiation processes, immunity laws, arbitrations and policy interpretation in all 50 states. His advice came after a thorough review and understanding of each issue, was solidly grounded in precedence and was presented in a manner that was easily understood in order to apply to each case. James exceeded his goal of service to clients in every interaction during our work together and remains a trusted ally.
