Call Jim after an auto accident!

Jim's services are phenomenal. Save yourself the time and trouble of trying to navigate everything on your own when injured from a car accident. Jim handles everything and gets results. You can always reach him. I wish I had of reached out immediately after my accident. Your going to want an attorney... and Jim is amazing. Extremely satisfied with his services and results.

Thank you Jim!

Was rear-ended by a drunk driver early last year. A friend of mine referred Mr. Desmond. I decided to give him a call. It only rang twice before he picked up the phone himself. For a dui case, he settled it relatively quickly with a high settlement. These days I feel like customer service has gone ou...t the window. Can never get ahold of someone, or constant voicemails with no return calls. But that wasn’t the case. Thank you Jim for taking care of me and my family, and your hard work. I’m now driving in a 2022 Challenger!

He has been my accident lawyer for years.

I have used Jim for several accidents I have been. He is prompt and always there to answer. Y questions. Also, he fought for me and got me a more than I expected. He refused the unreasonable offer from the insurance company and was willing to file suit on my behalf. Ultimately, we did not have to be...cause he got the offer above what I expected.

Professional Service

I have worked with Mr. Desmond on more than one occasion over the past several years. He has always been prompt in returning my calls and emails and explains things in a way that non-lawyers can understand. He is also quick to follow-up on issues and gets the case settled efficiently. He gives his pe...rsonal attention to each case from start to finish and does not "farm out" your case to others. I highly recommend Jim Desmond as a attorney!

Working with Jim

I was referred to Jim over a year ago in a case i had. Jim was very honest, thorough and efficient and helpful in handling the details of my case. Everything was resolved through Jim and the outcome was successful! His experience and personable approach as well as how quickly things got resolved i...mpressed me. I have since used Jim again as recent as four months ago in another issue in my case and again the outcome was very successful with the same professional and efficient approach I have seen from Jim. I will refer him to anyone needing the services he provides without any reservation whatsoever!

  • 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.
