Jim was extremely professional, consistent and smart. My situation was especially difficult at times, and Jim kept me calm, focused and detached to the emotional side of things. Above all, Jim was fair to me and the process. He truly was a blessing to me and my children.
Jim worked through my difficult divorce which took a few years to complete because my ex moved out of state and was hiding assets, missing appointments, etc. Even with every hurdle my ex and opposing attorney's threw at him, he remained professional and kept me informed all along the way. I came out of the situation ahead, with dignity, the majority of the property, and primary custodial custody of the children.
When the new girl figures my ex out, I can make a recommendation.

Very Helpful & Caring
Even though I couldn’t hire him as a lawyer, he has answered every question I had about child custody. Not only did he answer with actual compassion, he replied back quick to any other questions I asked in reference of the situation. I can tell majorly he is genuine and does what is best.

I've dealt with enough attorney's to know that court case outcomes are never guaranteed. James Olita turned out to be a winner with getting the results we needed and deserved. Highly recommended for anyone in need of a heavy hitter!

Jim - the guy you need by your side
Thank god Jim was my divorce attorney. He kept his cool and patience as I was getting anxious and emotional. Knows his stuff. Everything he said eventually came true. During this kind of thing, he's worth the premium. Don't hesitate. Just call him. You'll be glad you did months from now.

Divorce Case
I've known Jim for maybe five years when I decided to get his help during my divorce. I couldn't have been more pleased. Jim walked me through the process despite a very difficult and entitled ex-wife, keeping me apprised and in the loop the entire process. As a dad, I ended up being able to be with my kids more than I would have ever thought, which was one of my highest priorities.
