Outstanding Service and Knowledge

When you need a lawyer, chances are you are in pretty bad place in your life, and working with someone you can trust to be knowledgable and efficient is essential. With Jim Magee, not only will you get a lawyer with the knowledge and wisdom to maneuver your case, but someone who genuinely cares about... the outcome. I knew Jim was giving me fair and honest advice, and that he knew me as a person--not just a case number. While I hired Jim for a help with my bankruptcy after my small business failed, I will retain him (and his associates) for all our legal needs.

Truly the best Attorney ever!

I have to say just how kind and honest an attorney Jim Magee is and how much he has done for me. I can't express just how grateful I am to him and his entire law office in full. Jim has handled a complicated personal matter for me and made me feel so comfortable and at ease with all that is entaile...d. He is extremely knowledgeable, assuring me every step of the way as he has been taking care of me for years now. I am just so happy that I have him on my side - he is the best attorney I could have ever found to represent me and the most giving and caring man with a passion for helping people who need help who don't have the ability or the moneys to pay him back for really ALL that he does - I am truly grateful and forever indebted to him for all he has done for me! I can't say enough good things about him - if you want a lawyer who knows his stuff, is a standup honest person and will treat you with respect, kindness and always give you the truth and your options for how you can get help with your case - then he's the lawyer for you!

One of the nicest, honest and intelligent men I have met

Jim has wonderful to me. My friend referred me to him because he was so happy with him. So...I went for it. Thus far I haven't paid Jim a dime (but will just as soon as it is time to pull the trigger on my "issue") but he sat down with me and gave me great advice and and kind but candid. Funny, I ...phoned his office on some kind of snow day or and the office voicemail stated that he let everyone go home because of pending bad weather. But, as I started to leave a message...Jim picked up the phone and took the time to answer my questions. Honestly, He really is a great attorney and wonderful human being. I highly he and the firm!

Best lawyer

I hired Jim for a personal matter back in 2008. He is by far the most professional and informed attorney I spoke to regarding my case. He knows the law and will be comforting when you are unfortunately going through a tough time. Call him.
