Posted by Herbert Harry | September 27, 2020 | Consulted Attorney

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

For your review of psslac telling people to sue me.

you are so ugly. To even have time to respond to a person online looking the way you do. I think that it is a shame that a person even goes around looking the way you do. Instead of wasting your time answering questions you don't have the facts to, why don't you spend some time on your appearance. Yo...ur hair is not combed you need to shave it looks like you have worn that shirt for weeks at a time. This website should sue you for looking the way you do. It is literally appalling that you would have the nerve to talk a person into suing someone looking how you look. You need to be spending time combing your hair or putting on a decent shirt. You look like a bum here. I would not listen to a piece of advice of anything coming out of your yuk mouth!!

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Lucky Me!

Jim Osak came to my rescue. I needed help quickly, requiring going over a contract, doing research and putting it all together in a clear and forceful presentation. In a world where most attorneys make you feel they are doing you a favor, Jim's honest care and concern for me, his client, is a rare tr...eat. He is prompt, thorough, stays in communication and delivers the job when he says he will. I feel he went over and above what I had needed, and am really pleased with his work and attention to detail. I can honestly say, having unfortunately needing the help of a number of lawyers over the years, Jim is the only attorney I have ever written a review for, and it's because he has that rare combination of brains and heart.

If I would know about him before,I would have saved a lot of money.

I talked to James on the phone about my legal situation and he told me more about it than my lawyer who I hired and already paid him $8000.00.James could not be honest and straightforward with me anymore.He will tell you things how they are in very understandable language (English is my second langua...ge) and he will not give you any BS.Go ahead call him and you will see.That is just first impression after one phone conversation with him,I can not imagine what will happen after he will be able to work for me.

Very helpful

I am a designer and had a question about a dispute I was having with a client. Mr. Osak answered my question and since he has personal experience with exactly the type of situation I have, I received excellent advice and was even told me the wording I should include in my contracts to prevent this si...tuation from arising in the future.

Straight-shooter!

Mr. Osak answered my question; whereas the others did not. Being ignorant of law, legal terminology, and proper legal wording, it is difficult for the lay person to clearly and concisely express his/her question. Mr. Osak took the time to review my inquiry and to find what I was doing my best to as...k. He answered it -- simple as that. Thank you!

"I make it a point to read Mr. Osak's posts and responses here on Avvo. He is an iconoclastic thinker who often comes up with an unorthodox but strategic insight -- a real and meaningful contribution to both the public and to the community of practicing attorneys. In a profession where 99 of 100 responses are what's expected and has been said a thousand times before, Mr. Osak's answers are almost always unexpected and worth considering. He's creative, bold, and seemingly fearless and I am a fan."

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.
