Amazing attorney!

James “Jim” did a great job when my son was in need of private council! Hats off for him, he went above and beyond for my son and our family, I know I was a nag many times because we’ve never been in a legal issue ! I will recommend him until my last breath! I wish he’d run for governor or states att...orney he’d be amazing! Very kind, very attentive to our needs, and always responsive to our messages!

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.
