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.

Excellent lawyer

James helped with case after I was in a car accident. He gave me his personal cell phone number and was very responsive to my calls and texts. He stayed dedicated to my case until it was resolved. I would definitely recommend.

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!!

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!

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.

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.
