Why I don't recommend James Harold Wren II
I do not recommend James Harold Wren II as a lawyer based on my personal experience. Communication was inconsistent, which made it hard to rely on the information I received. When I raised concerns, his responses often felt curt and unsympathetic, leaving me unsure whether my issues were being taken ...

Replied last November 07, 2025It is difficult to respond to an anonymous review based only upon consultation. I apologize for not being clear in my communications. Occasionally I receive telephone calls (especially between 8 and 9 am, shortly before appearing court), and I must be quick, succinct, and occasionally brusque. Some judges confiscate cellular telephones from attorneys if on the phone while court has come to order. I mean no disrespect to the client. Some clients do not seem to understand that I cannot always spend time showing how sympathetic to their problems. This critique is unusual, as most of my clients are truly satisfied with my representation. Although I have no idea who this person is, my experience has been that those few who are disappointed with me usually results from "transference" of anger (against the opposing party or anger against the judge/jury who ruled against him/her) from them onto me. I suspect that may be the case here. This one negative review validates the numerous positive reviews. I am always suspect if every review is always, invariably 5 stars.
