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!

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.

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!!

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.
