James helps me with my Family Legal matter.

Attorney James Durkee has been a big help to me. Ive had a drawn out long and complex family law matter pressing for some time now. I was lucky to find a lawyer like James. His prices are reasonable, and fair. He is trustworthy, dependable, kind, sympathetic and extreemly patient and understanding. H...e is willing to reach out and get ahold of me if I have any questions or worries to discuss and is always very quick to respond. He doesnt keep you waiting. He puts my mind at ease. An like Attorney James Durkee is hard to find. Such quick responsiveness and excellent communication between lawyer and client really helps relieve anxiety and stress during such hard and uncertain times. He is right there with you throught the whole thing. It is really nice to have attorney James Durkee on your side. He makes me feel actively involed and up to date in the whole process. I have felt empowered and safe with Jim as my Attorney. Not a lawyer who will keep u waiting and wondering. He is smart, down to earth, and respectful and has been a joy to work with. He will tell you the truth and not just what you want to hear. I would reccomend him to anyone who needs a lawyer. In my scenario he was extreemly brave and took my case when no one else would. Hes willing to walk where other men fear to tread. Jim a very great and likeable guy.

Jim Durkee, Bancruptcy Attorney

At this very stressful time in our lives, Attorney Durkee was there to help us. He was very professional yet down to earth, which made the process so much easier. I would highly recommend him.

Not happy !

We hired Jim for a simple task , once paid , He couldn't be reached , and when he was the task was not completed , and he requested more money to finish the same job ! Our new lawyer stated that he can't do that , yet he did ! We feel very dissatisfied! He failed to notify us of some importan...t court dates , and didn't show for them himself! very unhappy !

Dont waste your money

Well all I Can say is that I feel that I was taken for a ride. I was told that there was no way things would go the way they did and I can say that he was more worried about payment than my case. Poor communication and would never pick up the phone. Please go elsewhere!
