Semi wreck with back injuries.

James and his team are very compassionate. They cared more about me getting healthy than they did about how much money they collected. Every phone call or email was answered quickly. I will be telling everyone to use James and his team.

Highly recommended

James is very experienced and did a great job working on my case. He clearly explained how the case would progress and what to expect. The whole team did an awesome job.

Best Lawyer in OKC

I was hurt in a car accident by someone who wasn’t paying attention on the road. I’ve never been in a car accident before and found myself stressed out on top of being in pain! I had no car due to the car accident and was returning back to school for my last semester. I decided to give James a call t...o see if he could help me and it was the best decision I ever made! It was like if a ton of bricks was lifted off my shoulders. All I had to concentrate on was getting physically and mentally better. They did the rest for me. At the time Marva was his assistant and she contacted me every week with an update or to see what how I was doing. James called me multiple times to personally talk to me and see how I was doing. I felt like they really cared about everything and made me feel 100% in great care. They ended up settling the case with 100% satisfaction. I highly recommend them! If you are in doubt just call James and see if he can help. It was the best decision I made.

Very Diligent in settling our car accident case

James Belote was very diligent in dealing with the responsible party's insurance adjuster. They were less than forthcoming in their responses to our requests. He did not give up until we reached a satisfactory agreement. I appreciate the courteous professionalism displayed in our case. Thank you ... for all you did for us.

An Attorney You Can Count On

Diligent, knowledgeable, compassionate and driven are just a few of the words I would use to describe Mr. Belote and his staff. They went above and beyond to assist in our automobile accident, that also involved our two young daughters. I would highly recommend their services to anyone who needs a de...pendable and reliable attorney. They were always very professional and courteous. My calls were answered or returned promptly. Thank you Law Offices of Stipe & Belote!

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.
