About James
Biography
I am also a pharmacist and help pharmacists with criminal, civil, and State Board matters.
When I say something negative about Avvo, my rating as a lawyer goes down. This suggests that my Avvo rating is not based on my skill as an attorney. Does this cause you to question the reliability of the Avvo rating scale? Judge these fools for yourself.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS
Overall, I had a very negative experience meeting with James L Lindon and would not recommend him to anyone, unless you want to waste 295 dollars leaving there with more questions than answers and sitting on his office floor for almost 2 hours during the meeting. My parents and I were seeking immedia...

Replied last September 12, 2015He came to my office with his mommy and daddy. He and his parents repeated that their "invention" was patentable. Apparently, they wanted a patent application filed that had zero chance of success. I could not ethically file a frivolous patent application. He is correct that I explained to him, or at least tried, OVER AND OVER about patentable subject matter and that his "invention" legally could not be granted a patent. Assuming they did not file a patent application anyway, it was the best $295 they ever spent. It saved them much more money on a frivolous patent application. In the year 2010, the game "corn hole" is no longer considered new. Sorry about that. Lesson: either listen to your patent lawyer or plan to waste your money. Your lawyer should tell you what you NEED to hear, not what you WANT to hear.

Thanks so much for your legal assistance with my small business!!!!!
He has helped me numerous times with my eBay business and in the area of copyright infringement allegations and learning how to copyright my items that I have developed. He has a special expertise and is the best and most professional lawyer I have ever worked with.

James has handled all of our trademark and patent legal issues for over three years. For our company Lindon & Lindon has provided us with the services that one would expect to receive from in-house counsel yet at a mere fraction of the cost.

Reciprocal - Discipline issued in OH, 2010
updated on 07/17/2011This means that the attorney's misconduct in another state also violated the rules for practicing law in Ohio.
James’s comment:
“This was based on a single allegation of disorderly conduct - nothing to do with the practice of law. Use extreme caution when viewing Avvo. Avvo lies. Lawyers do NOT provide free legal advice here. Avvo has a "rating system" like Google in the same way that I play basketball like Michael Jordan. Avvo's rating system is deceptive to consumers.”
Reciprocal - Discipline issued in DC, 2009
updated on 08/02/2016This means that the attorney's misconduct in another state, or jurisdiction, also violated the rules for practicing law in District of Columbia Bar.
Reprimand issued in MI, 2009
updated on 07/17/2011Reprimand means an attorney did something wrong but may still practice law. The State gives the lawyer a public reprimand in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior. Details of the infraction are made part of the public record.
