This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Appeal

Very satisfied with everything. James went above and beyond and was very hands on. He was able to get my appeal filed quickly and was very honest and up front on whether or not he thought I had grounds for an appeal. We ultimately won my appeal and our motion for immediate consideration. I’m very hap...py and highly recommend James.

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.
