Will and Trust

My husband and I went to see Jim for a will and trust. He was friendly and very helpful. He made sure all our questions were answered and we were comfortable with our decisions. He made sure we knew all our options and just put us at ease. We would highly recommend Jim and his staff. They were a...ll very welcoming and helpful.

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.
