I was referred to Jim when I was dealing with an emergency situation. I called him, he immediately picked up and provided me with exactly the advice and legal knowledge that I needed. He did not charge me anything, and was a pleasure to speak with. I would highly recommend giving Jim a call if you... want to speak with a genuine person who has knowledge of the law.

Not so bad considring the reason you need a lawyer

I have used Mr. Ram on two separate occasions and the only bad thing that I can say is his response time on getting you information is SLOW. As far as the getting the most out of the settlement, he's great. I feel like take your time and get the most, since that is the reason you hired a lawyer.

He needs his license Burned!

I hired Jim over 10 years ago and my case has never been completed. I've called him on every line possible and he never responds. He is TERRIBLE! They should do something about him. Please never use him!

Car accident

James (Jim) Francis Ram is by far the worst attorney I ever had to deal with. My case is almost 3 years old and I haven't heard anything from him. I called him day and night on all his phone lines, left message after message and no response at all. I have received threats from the doctors offices tha...t he sent me to. Stating that my balances need to be paid. He is the worst ever.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
