Bill James law firm is the best

I hired this firm to represent me in a case of "wrong place, wrong time" arrest where i had my concealed weapon seized. They was able to get my charges dropped and i got my weapon returned to me. They always kept me informed of proceedings and outcomes. I highly recommend this firm for anyone char...ged with a felony.

Did an excellent job!!!

The James Law Firm showed me compassion, they were very interested in solving my issue with an outcome I would be happy with. Communication was excellent, they were on top of things and kept me updated on the progress. The Jame’s Law Firm did an excellent job and I would highly recommend them.

Expert

I hired Mr. James for two specific cases. He is very thorough in his fact finding, He was referred to me by friends that have used Mr. James and received top rated results. I was happy with his updates to me and the results that I received!

Handles Business

Long story short: I was in a divorce and was getting pressured to quickly sign paperwork by the other party. I was referred to Mr. James by a friend and he quickly notified me that I was basically getting ripped off. He handled all of the logistics and took care of me and my assets during the divo...rce. I would use him over and over again. Highly recommend him and his firm.

Responsive and Quick

One thing you do not want when a legal issue arises and having it dragged out. My issue was small but taken care of quickly and effectively. The quality of timelines is of the upmost importance when there is a legal issue. They know that and make even your small issues their priority.

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.
