Excellent Representation!

James R. Walz helped me resolve some of the critical issues that I had with my former employer. He was instrumental in crafting the 'final' draft that I got from my former employer which is extremely important for me for my future opportunities. He is very prompt in drafting responses and is very co...mmunicative. He is an excellent negotiator and helped settle a very difficult matter successfully out of the court. He earned my 'Five-Star' recommendation!

Long time client

James has been my lawyer for 10 plus years. He has represented me a few cases including a business case were on of my customers owed me some money and then tried to sue me. He got me what was right he also saved me from losing my license in a DUI case and represented me in a divorce case and did VERY... well for me. He has also represented other friends and family members and the were all happy with the out come. I wouldn't use anybody else.

Top-notch legal advice!

After being medically discharged from the military and struggling with obtaining Social Security Disability, I sought the help of attorney James Walz. Thanks to his knowledge, skill, and expertise, he helped me navigate a complex bureaucracy and successfully plead my case before a judge. A good man a...nd a great lawyer, I highly recommend James Walz for all your legal needs!

Best legal help ever!

Attorney James Walz has provided us the best legal services ever. His service has been exceptional, both in terms of the legal advice and counseling as well as the highly responsive, timely nature of his work. He has engendered in us a deeper respect for the legal profession.

Very reliable and trustworthy

A friend of mine has used the services of Mr. Walz, and, as an observer to the case, have been very impressed with the skill, knowledge and results that have been received by retaining his services. If I ever needed counsel I would not hesitate to use James Walz.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I've known Jim for a long time. We've been on opposite sides of cases and co-counseled together. If you want an aggressive, talented, and (most of all) hard working lawyer, he's your guy. Once he sets his sights on a goal, he won't stop until he gets what he's after. He's also a very 'outside the box' thinker that isn't afraid to go for the big results."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
