Save yourself, choose anyone else

James Vedder is all hot air. He is completely weak, does not advocate for clients, wastes time, and money. Does not appear to even read the settlements he ‘negotiates’. He did well in a trial moment, but most things lead to settlement. In all matters he bowed to opposing party even in matters that we...re actually part of the signed agreement. So disappointing. Would have been better off being a fool of a client.

Superb competence and character

Jim Vedder is absolutely outstanding in his field. He’s published in family law journals. He has extensive experience including trial experience. He has superb skills and competence but most importantly he’s a truly kind and humble human being. When you’re going through divorce and mine was very ...hostile, Jim’s calm demeanor was so helpful. I trust him immensely and would recommend without reservations. As if he needs my recommendation because I’m sure he is highly sought after. He has been a true blessing for me. God bless you
