STAY AWAY

Don't hire him! He doesn't care about your issues, just wants your money while doing the bare minimum. Seriously anyone would be better than him.

Called me a liar

Was told my case was not as important as other cases that were going on for the attorney. Granted, my case may not have been as big as a money maker for him, but it certainly had a major negative influence on my life thanks to his complete lack of attentiveness. In the final ruling against me, the ju...dge made comment to the lack of defense that could have been presented to have got me cleared of the charges. At the end of the day, I was left with a lifelong blemish on my record for something I absolutely did not do and this attorney walked away with around $10,000 and a smugness that only added insult to injury. My only hope is that someday in the future, he finds himself in a similar situation where he is wrongfully accused and a person that could have offered him help turns his back like he did on me.

Honest, skilled and trustworthy

Mr. Organ represents everything a quality lawyer should, in a day when it is very difficult to find decent council this law firm stands heads above the rest. Jim Organ is a trustworthy lawyer who will work hard to help you and will not ever give up on you, Jim is honest, to the point and works very h...ard for results. The Organ law firm represented me and Mr. Organ got me an amazing result considering what I was facing, not many people would've worked so hard and would have been so dedicated to a client but Mr. Organ was and gave my case his all. I continue to seek consul with Mr. Organ and he is quinine, straight forward and honest always. Mr. Organ gave me his time and went past the time he had reserved for me to fully answer my questions and concerns and I can not thank him enough. If you need a lawyer the Organ law firm is second to none, I stand fully behind this review and I can not speak more highly of Mr. Jim Organ and his staff.

Great attorney!

He and his staff listened to concerns and followed through with what he said he could. I always got a call or email back and was kept informed. I am pleased with the outcome.
