This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Highly Recommend Mr. James!

Mark was very professional and informative. He even did work up front to find out if he could help me and how before we even decided to hire him. I will be hiring him to assist in my case!

Poor response to clients

Mark is really poor at responding to clients emails or phone calls which is even critical due to COVID.

Mark was a hero during a very hard time

Mark was very sensitive and thorough when we were dealing with a sudden death of a our mother. We quickly had to organize and put our grief aside and Mark was extremely sensitive and caring throughout this process. He made everything very easy to comprehend and kept in constant communication while we... figured out next steps. Hopefully no more morbid excuses to use him but would definitely use again in a different (hopefully) circumstance.

Wonderful Attorney!

Mark was kind and professional. He was very attentive and professional and worked to make my divorce quick and painless. I could tell he really wanted what was best for me and my children. I highly recommend Mark, I've recommended him to several colleagues and they were as happy as I was.

TC

Affordable, but not the best trial lawyer around. Does not do the best job of re-educating the judge on the facts of the case which heavily influenced the judge in my case. Not the best trial lawyer when going up against other attorneys.

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.
