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!

Great Lawyer

I'm very satisfied with Mr. Diamond's effort at solving my injury problems when it came to my car accident. He is a loyal, trustworthy, and reliable person! He represented me to his full ability and got me what I deserved from that means ol insurance company! Mr. Desmond was always just a call away, ...and always knew where my case was in its process and was able to answer any question I had for him with very little delay if any at all. Thank you, Jim, from the bottom of my heart! I would highly recommend Desmond Law Office to anyone and everyone!

Personal Injury

Mr. Desmond came highly recommended from a dear friend. He was direct and straight to the point and wasted no time in taking care of business. Extremely nice and wonderful to talk to. He made sure you had an understanding of what was taking place. I didn’t have to stay in contact with Mr. Desmo...nd because he made sure I was kept up to date with any correspondence or activity happening. My doctor’s office also commented on his professionalism from both he and his staff. To say thank you for what he did just doesn't seem enough. I would highly recommend Mr. Desmond

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.
