James Spiros's Lawyer Endorsements
"Our client was seriously injured in a collision. In order to avoid costly litigation expense we made a demand slightly less than the policy limit. The carrier claimed numerous policy defenses. Jim prepared an excellent brief in response to the dismissal motion and before the hearing the carrier paid. The brief and response was so well done the carrier initiated settlement without waiting for oral argument. Jim's reputation and excellent work caused this settlement. Jim was personal, friendly a pleasure to work with and I would gladly recommend him to any attorney or client."
"I would personally endorse this lawyer for personal injury and medical malpractice. He knows how to get the job done while being friendly and respectful of his clients, opponents and judges alike, Very highly thought of by many past clients and lawyers."
