This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

ADA Job Violation

I had a problem with my job letting me go and contacted the first lawyer google pulled up for me. I forgot it was a holiday and didn’t think I would get anyone to help me with this situation. Surprisingly James just happened to be in office and I explained to him my situation, after hearing me out, h...e not only took my case but walk me through the red tape with EEOC especially since they wanted me to wait 3 months before they could interview me. James and Mandy truly are looking out for people and fighting the good fight as well.

No reason to go anywhere else!

As a small business owner, I depend on James Harper for advice and proper actions for all of my legal needs. He is dependable, knowledgeable, and makes himself available day and night whenever my needs arise. His fees are reasonable and response prompt. James gets results! I feel he is not only my c...onfidant, but my friend and I can whole heartedly would recommend him without reservation.

The absolute best lawyer in Mississippi hands down!!

The absolute best lawyer hands down in Mississippi! Mr. Harper fights to protect his clients best interests and will settle for nothing less! You can rest assured that you will be kept in the loop every step of the way as well. I would not ever recommend another attorney after my experience with Mr.... Harper !

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"James has worked very hard to set himself apart through his education and experience in the field of ADR/mediation. He has the demeanor and litigation experience to be a very effective mediator and will work hard to assist clients with the resolution of their disputes. Not only is James an excellent mediator, he is an excellent attorney. Both skill sets are needed to bring two opposing sides together. I highly recommend James Harper."

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.
