Tremendous

25 years ago my wife and son had a car accident. My son got James and my wife got another attorney. My son was very happy with the results and my wife wished she had gotten James. I said If I am ever in a car accident, I am going to call James. Recently I was in an accident and called James. The... results on a scale of 1 to 10, it was 12. Need an attorney, call James.

The best

James and his staff were an amazing group of people. They kept me informed throughout the entire process. Lifted me up if I got down in the dumps. They fought and got me a really nice settlement. If you need a lawyer that really cares, James is your man.

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.
