Will fight for your rights when dealing with creditors

I am extremely pleased with the professional services offered by James J. Daher, L.L.C. I had received a mailing from them after I got sued for debt. I was frustrated, very upset and literally had no clue what my rights were. I made one phone call. The gentleman on the phone thoroughly explained my r...ights and options. The phone call took maybe 15 minutes of my time. From there James J. Daher handled literally everything. The case progressed exactly as he had explained the process to me. At one point I emailed a question and received a response that same day. Creditors make you feel like you have no rights. But you actually do and James J. Daher is the expert you need fighting for you and your rights. Highly recommend.

Compassionate and Extremely Competent

Professional, quick, and clear in their communication, not to mention willing to do whatever it takes. After I contacted him regarding a suit over debt accrued while my wife was sick with cancer, it was immediately apparent he made handling my case a priority. You'd be hard pressed to find a better f...irm or group of people. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Stellar Outcome

Absolutely thrilled with the service provided by Jim Daher, who represented me in a case filed by a creditor. From the very first consultation, Jim showcased exceptional professionalism and deep knowledge in his field. He was incredibly transparent throughout the entire process, ensuring I was well-...informed and comfortable with every step we took. Jim's honesty and integrity truly set him apart. He was upfront about potential challenges and outcomes, which made me feel secure and confident in his expertise. Moreover, his services were very affordable, providing excellent value without compromising on quality. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney to handle my case. Jim Daher is a true professional, and I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of legal representation for credit issues. Thank you, Jim, for your outstanding support and dedication!

Hiring James was a mistake.

James took the money and ran. Very disappointing. My wife hired him for a case about 6 months ago. She was told she didn't have to appear at her upcoming court date and that she would hear from him. Later we received a letter that James had withdrawn from the case. Needless to say we were confused. A...fter digging a bit we found lots of documentation supporting us being entitled to a refund in this situation, but James refused. Instead he blamed my wife stating he made all of these attempts to contact her by phone, email, even letter. Interestingly enough, there seems to be no evidence of any of this contact. No calls registered, no email other than the payment receipt, and no missed calls, or voicemails. We definitely regret hiring James and hope nobody else makes the same mistake.

Replied last August 09, 2023

Your review is misleading and dishonest. I left multiple voicemails, sent emails, and mailed two paper letters to your wife, asking her to contact my office to discuss her case. The letter dated 6/20/23 stated that I was going to have to withdraw my representation of her because she had disappeared, and informed her that if she still wanted me to represent her, it was imperative that she contact my office. She never returned any of those communications. You say “there’s no evidence” that I attempted to contact your wife. Of course there is, but you never asked for any. I have phone logs, saved emails, and copies of letters. And you admit having received the last letter. Finally, even if she had some how not received any of these communications across three different mediums, why wouldn’t she take it upon herself to reach out to her attorney after allegedly not hearing from him for six months? Your story makes no sense, because it didn't happen that way.
