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.

Mrs

The first word that comes to mind is trustworthy. I was the sole handler since my husband died prior to the settlement being finished. I was a fish out of water and James patiently walked me through every step. I was in good hands with a satisfying result

Top Notch Attorney!

I retained James Belote for a personal injury case after an auto accident. My case was handled very efficiently and proficiently. I received back injuries which included a fractured vertebrae. Kyphoplasty and injection procedures were performed. I was kept informed of my case throughout the process, ...and Mr Belote had the case settled out of court in 5 months. Mr. Belote’s legal assistant, Crystal was very helpful in communicating with me quickly to ensure all the paperwork and documents were efficiently in order. The complete process was done with ease and stress free. I couldn’t be happier with the handling of my case. I would highly recommend you consider the representation of Mr. James Belote. Rest assured, you can do so with confidence.

Great Attorney and staff

I had an auto accident with injury and came to see James Belote. He took my case, and I was so glad he did. I've never been to an attorney before, and he was so kind, compassionate, and cared about my well-being. He walked me through the process, and we were able to settle my case. I will defi...nitely recommend him to my friends and family. Also, his staff Terri and Crystal were great too.

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.
