James is the absolute best

I hired James back in 2016 when I had my first accident, he made sure that the man’s insurance company did not keep me from receiving the proper medical care and surgery that was needed. Fast forward to August of 2023 I was rear ended on i35 just south of OKC and once again I knew that James was goin...g to be needed so I hired him once again! James did everything he could to make sure my insurance covered me upon finding out the man who hit me was not covered with the insurance he provided to OHP. Thank you to James and his amazing staff for taking such good care of me!!

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.

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.

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.
