Resourceful

I called for a consultation and he told me exactly which agencies to contact and in which order and saved me a lot of time and frustration. Good listener.

Consultation

Today I had a consultation with Attorney Schottenstein and I was so positively impacted by our session that I feel the need to write this review. Despite it being late in the evening, I never felt rushed by Mr. Schottenstein, and he was incredibly patient while I reviewed my legal matter. His tone wa...s always warm and emphatic and his feedback and advice were given completely selflessly. I can sense his honesty and would most definitely recommend his legal services to others.

Very helpful

I'm a Realtor & reached out to James with a purchase contract issue. He listened, walked me through the process & was able to provide his thoughts & insight. I really appreciated him taking time to talk with me.

Home Sale

He was thorough and dealt with issues created by the title company. The issues required extra work and I was not charged extra.

Thank you for your review. It was a pleasure working with you and your wife, and if you should have any other legal issues that you would like assistance with, I would welcome your call. Jim

Great consult

Schottenstein was forthcoming with info on initial call. And he helped me sort through my options and confirmed my intuition, helping me frame my frustration in an action-oriented way Buyers scheduled closing then said the construction costs would exceed the bank's appraisal. Being the third exten...sion of the closing, the second one happening the day of closing, I was livid, but didn't know what recourse I actually had, and how I should respond. Schottenstein explained how the contract worked and what should have happened, and what he would do if he were me. He was also very open about whether he could help me out not.
