Would Strongly Recommend Looking Elsewhere

I regret hiring James Duquette for my divorce case. My experience involved poor communication, missed deadlines, weak advocacy, and legal strategy that ultimately left me in a worse financial position despite clearly communicating that financial protection was my top priority. I did not feel effectiv...ely represented against opposing counsel and left the process feeling unsupported and disappointed. Due to my experience, I intend to pursue a grievance/disciplinary complaint with the appropriate regulatory authorities. I would strongly encourage others to thoroughly research alternative representation before hiring Seymour, Kremer, Koch LLP.

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.
