Highly recommend!

James and Crystal were absolutely great at taking care of my car accident case. They always responded to my texts/ emails very quickly. They were always very kind and professional. I highly recommend them!

One of the best attorneys you'll find in OKC!

If you are looking for an attorney that will take care of you, James is it!! He is professional, courteous and super responsive. Not only will he will personally call you and provide you an update on your case, but he takes the time to reach out to you prior to any appointments to make sure you under...stand what to expect. Hands down one of the best attorneys I've worked with!!

Focus on my family's health FIRST

I am writing this review for James Belote and his associates. We recently were involved in a rear end collision. While the accident did not thankfully yield anyone who was hospitalized, there were necessary treatments we needed. James and his team worked through the lack of interest of the respons...ible parties insurance and we received the treatment both my wife and I needed. I was most impressed with his genuine focus on the first phone call for both me and my wife's health. He also was very up front as to what we could expect should we request his expertise. He always kept fighting for us, communicated regularly as to where in the process we were and then provided the needed council to make this a worry free situation. I would highly recommend James and his colleagues.

10 stars if I could

I have never had great experiences with any lawyers until I hired James for my car accident claim. He was quick to start my claim and get things going efficently. He got me the best deal possible and I was so relieved to have it taken care of without all the stress of dealing with the insurance compa...nies personally. Crystal was excellent at communicating any issues/needs/etc in a quick and professional manner, she was very sweet and answered all my questions, no matter how meniscal they were. I will forever recommend James and his office, you guys are the best! I hope I don't need you guys again but I know I'll be in good hands if I ever do!!

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.

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.
