Great Lawyer

James and Crystal were great to work with. Very honest and up front of what I could expect to happen. I recommend visiting with them early so they can help you with the treatments that you should get to keep people from advantage of you.

Amazing people!

I had a great experience with this law firm. Crystal was amazing to work with — she was fast, professional, and made the whole process easy and stress-free. She really went above and beyond to help me get a little more money than I expected, and I truly appreciated her dedication and communication. I... highly recommend this firm, especially if you get the chance to work with Crystal.

Trustworthy Team!

James Belote handled my case, and I was pleased with his service. He handled it in a totally professional manner, and kept me informed throughout. The legal assistant, Crystal, was also very professional and helpful. I was impressed with her handling of the details of the case. Together they made a ...trustworthy team. I'll use them again if the need ever arises.

Honest, Caring and Professional Attorney

I recently hired James Belote to represent me in a lawsuit. Having never been involved in a lawsuit, I had no idea what to expect. James and his staff were very professional. They ensured I understood the process of the lawsuit and prepared me in advance of each step. They kept me well informed t...hroughout the progression and were always very responsive to my questions. I would highly recommend James and the team at Stipe & Belote, LLP.

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.
