Review James Spiros

Honest and Extremely Effective

Posted by

Mr. Spiros achieved a spectacular outcome on my case. I found the process to be efficient and organized. The research was thorough and I received prompt responses to all of my communication inquiries. Most importantly, I felt that Mr. Spiros was honest and frank when explaining possible outcomes and so I had complete trust in his capabilities to achieve the best possible outcome for my case. He over-delivered on my expectations and I won’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone in my situation or to hire him again if needed. Thank you so very much, Mr. Spiros. You are a welcome combination of honesty, integrity, and legal know-how.

Got your back!

From the moment I walked through the front doors to the law firm I felt welcomed, empowered, and that my voice was heard. Every member of the staff was amazing, paid attention to every little detail, and answered all of my questions with a very quick response time. Jennifer was so helpful and worked very hard to get all the information she needed to help me. Any questions I had she answered quickly and was very understanding. Mr. Spiros put me at ease right from the start. He answered all of my questions, made me feel like he really heard what I was saying and what I wanted. I was well prepared and knew exactly what to expect. When I left the office an enormous weight was lifted off my shoulders, because I knew he would fight for me, and fight hard.

I hired Jim Spiros and receiving injuries in an automobile accident. Jim and Sarah were very professional in listening to my story and explaining the legal process they would go through to represent my case. They continued to be available throughout the process and answered any and all questions quickly. We settled for amount I agreed with and made a difficult situation for me stressless.

I worked with Spiros Law for the past two years on a case and I am more than happy with the outcome! Mr. Spiros gave me honest and fair advice throughout the duration of my case. This was my first time ever working with a lawyer or even having a case of this size and I was nervous about the outcome but from the moment I walked in the door I was treated with respect.

Michael Maloney, Personal injury Attorney on Nov 30, 2017
Relationship: Worked together on matter

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.

Brad Bleakney, Personal injury Attorney on May 29, 2017
Relationship: Friend

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.
