Grateful Clients

Mr James Ludlow was/is very personable and very good at keeping us updated on what was going on with our case. Mr Ludlow was very concerned with our injuries and wanted to make sure that before trying to settle our case, we were truly doing better.

The Attorney Who Cares about his Client

Mr. Ludlow represented me as I was involved in a motor vehicle accident which resulted in my rotator cuff being torn and subsequent surgery and physical therapy. From the start of conversation to the very end James and his staff ensured that I was knowledgeable and educated as to the status of my cas...e. His primary concern was for me to recover from my injuries and get healthy again. He is diligent and fought on my behalf for over a year with two stubborn Insurance companies. My case should have been textbook, however the insured and his insurance company made it difficult. James Ludlow never faltered, his faith in my case and genuine concern of the well-being of myself and family not only resulted in a settlement but reflects his expertise and experience. Should you ever be in a situation to which you have deal with multiple insurance companies, James Ludlow is definely the attorney to seek out. I am truly thankful that I followed my heart and retained him.

"Highly Recommend!"

I just can't say enough good things about James Ludlow, his staff, his professionalism, how well I was treated and how diligently my case was handled. After my accident I was nervous and embarassed about having to get an attorney for my injuries but James was my friend first throughout the entire pro...cess. He made me feel comfortable and was more concerned about helping me "live" again before anything else. He always kept me well informed. Anytime I had a question he was always available. There was not one detail of my case that he missed, he was very thorough in his work and always updated me. To this day he is still a good friend and I am forever thankful for everything he did for me. I would highly recommend him to anyone! Amazing attorney and outstanding person!

Avvo Rating

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.
