Tremendous

25 years ago my wife and son had a car accident. My son got James and my wife got another attorney. My son was very happy with the results and my wife wished she had gotten James. I said If I am ever in a car accident, I am going to call James. Recently I was in an accident and called James. The... results on a scale of 1 to 10, it was 12. Need an attorney, call James.

Amazing!

I was rear ended by a lady that had minimum liability. James told me to get better and as soon as everything is done and we had the bills, he would go to work. Needless to say, her insurance did not cover my medical bill. But James was not only able to get my medical bills covered, he was also able... to get me money as well.

Great Man

I was in a car accident and like some people wasn't sure how to handle it i called a few lawyers but Mr.Belote was the one who seemed more interested not only as a lawyer but also as a human being he made the process very easy he was very helpful and understanding and did everything he could to help ...me until case was resolved. i very great man and lawyer very thankful to him. I would recommend him to anyone.

James is the BEST

I contacted Stipe & Belote after researching various firms to give me advice on a car accident I was involved in. James worked closely with me, explaining every step of the process. James told me at the very beginning that his job was to handle the legalities and my job was to heal; I really took tha...t to heart and trusted him. I would highly recommend James to anyone.

Grateful!!!!!

I was in a car accident and I had no clue how to handle it. Thankfully I got recommended to James Belote. They walked me through what to expect to happen and how long to expect everything to start taking place. They called me anytime anything happened throughout the settlement process. They treated ...me kindly and respectfully. They also understood any concerns or question I had throughout the whole settlement. I always heard that lawyers weren't good people. But not in this case. If it wasn't for James and his law firm I wouldn't have been able to get the settlement I needed to pay my medical bills and household bills. I will always be grateful for them taking on the case.

Avvo Rating

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.
