Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have worked with Stuart James on many complex cases, and look forward to any opportunities to work with him again. I would rather work with him than have him on the other side! Stuart has a keen intelect and is quick to detect and grasp the finer points in a matter. We worked together in a matter involving class action, criminal charges, and federal and state civil actions. I would never hesitate to recommend Stuart James for any civil matter, no matter how complex, and I often do so. McCracken Poston, Ringgold, GA"

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.
