Don’t waste your time on this guy!

This guy doesn’t even deserve a speck of a star saying he did a good job because that would be a lie. He did absolutly nothing but take my money and tell me not to worry about a thing . I tried to reach out to him numerous times and he very rarely got back with me . I drove all the way to Chicago fro...m the southern tip of Illinois in hopes he could set aside ten minutes of his time to have a sit down conversation with me and he couldnt even do that . He was my lawyer that did nothing but go to court and get three continuances for our case and stood by my side for one court hearing in the beginning other than that NOTHING. I wasn’t about to put out any more money so he withdrew from being my lawyer . The first month I had this new lawyer I got more done than the entire 10 months he was with us. Maybe he is a descent human being outside of work but he is one of the absolute worst lawyers I’ve had the pleasure of meeting . If you want a lawyer that is actually compassionate about his work and truly cares for his clients then you should definitely look elsewhere.

The Most accurate view of this lawyer.

Some of these other reviews were done by people with a personal problem toward Jim and I know this for a fact it was an attempt to attack his reputation because they lost a case against him..... my case was handled fairly well he helped me get a good settlement and was fair and efficient about it........ ignore the lesser reviews as they are attempts to degrade his reputation. He was a good lawyer for me and even took 10% more of his share off of the settlement to give it to me which proves he is not in it for the money. he was patient and even with my fumbling around he managed to still win the case with minimal but adequate evidence backing it as I could not retrieve it all my self. He is a good lawyer in my opinion.
