Teamwork

James and his team were more concerned I was getting the Healthcare and rehab needed to recover from an auto accident caused by a couple yahoos road raging at each other. They kept me well informed all the way through to the end. Great Teamwork.

Motorcycle Accident

3/05/2021 a person pulled in front of me and I hit broadside throwing me from motorcycle and over car landing face down on concrete Aprox 80’ past point of impact. Lucky to have survived with so much pain I waited to heal at home because Covid 19 had just hit. A month into my healing during a long so...aking bath to reduce pain and inflammation I realized something very serious was wrong in my reproductive area. Still bruised and swollen I called an attorney I grew up with named Mike Tipps and immediately he recommended me to James Belote with Stipe & Belote Law Firm after seeing the pictures. I met with Mr Belote signed a contract two power of attorney’s and a total of 4 releases and Mr Belote got my case settled quickly with a big return. He always answered all my calls and texts and even consulted and provided document preparation on some unrelated issues. Mr Belote truly cared about me and the damage done to me and he made them pay. Now it’s been compensated and case closed we are friends and he still answers my calls or texts. If you have been in a accident call James Belote. Do not delay because the sooner you call him the sooner he can go to work for you.

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.

Thank you

James is by far hands down the best injury lawyer! He took very good care of me through the whole situation. Very honest guy will use him again if need be!

Posted by Sandra | December 12, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Personal Injury

Thankful

James is an excellent attorney. He represented me when I was injured during a car accident. I knew from the moment I hired him I made a great decision, as he kept me informed about my case from beginning to the end. He was very compassionate and knowledgeable in every aspect of the law involving my c...ase. I would definitely recommend anyone looking for an honest hardworking attorney to look no further than James Belote.

  • 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.
