Highly recommended

James is very experienced and did a great job working on my case. He clearly explained how the case would progress and what to expect. The whole team did an awesome job.

Best Lawyer in OKC

I was hurt in a car accident by someone who wasn’t paying attention on the road. I’ve never been in a car accident before and found myself stressed out on top of being in pain! I had no car due to the car accident and was returning back to school for my last semester. I decided to give James a call t...o see if he could help me and it was the best decision I ever made! It was like if a ton of bricks was lifted off my shoulders. All I had to concentrate on was getting physically and mentally better. They did the rest for me. At the time Marva was his assistant and she contacted me every week with an update or to see what how I was doing. James called me multiple times to personally talk to me and see how I was doing. I felt like they really cared about everything and made me feel 100% in great care. They ended up settling the case with 100% satisfaction. I highly recommend them! If you are in doubt just call James and see if he can help. It was the best decision I made.

The best

James and his staff were an amazing group of people. They kept me informed throughout the entire process. Lifted me up if I got down in the dumps. They fought and got me a really nice settlement. If you need a lawyer that really cares, James is your man.

Motorcycle

We were more than satisfied with the hard work that James and his team provided us. Everything was handled in a timely manner, they handled our hospital billing, and did all the work for us so that my husband could focus on recovery! We got way more than expected in our settlement. I highly recommen...d Mr. Belote's services to anyone.

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.
