James Robert Hinchliff's Lawyer Endorsements

Endorse James
Nicholas James Lombardi headshot
Nicholas Lombardi

Family lawyer | Mar 27

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. As an attorney who practices in a different area of law it’s important to have good lawyers to refer current and for never clients and friends and family to. I have never received anything but positive feedback about James and his work product. I recently received an email which described him as compassionate, caring and knowledgeable. She stated that, while he didn’t always tell her what she wanted to hear, he always told her what she needed to hear. More than that he took the time to explain why."

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.
