Straight shooter

I was in a motor vehicle accident and contacted Mr.Belote who responded quickly and told me my options and what to expect. I never had any questions as he was very thorough and made the process easy for me. He never gave me unrealistic expectations and I really would recommend him for any one needing... an attorney for an auto injury.

Exceptional - Thank you!!!!

While stopped for a red light, I was hit from behind and was injured. The insurance company was treating me poorly and I needed help. A friend recommended I call James Belote at Stipe Law Firm. They sincerely care. James and his staff returned all my calls and kept me informed. James and Crystal are... exceptional. Mine was a difficult case but they did not stop nor give up. I am pleased with the settlement result. I am so glad I called them.

Thankful

I am very thankful for the wonderful job that James Belote and his awesome office staff did to settle a case for an older relative. As people age, they do have trouble understanding legal matters and terminology & can get confused at times. This office was very patient and explained everything in a w...ay that could easily be understood. I do feel they did a wonderful job at getting this settled in a timely manner and am very relieved to finally get a huge burden settled & off my family. In this fast paced world finding someone to have patience with older people shows true care for a client and their level of integrity, which means a lot to us! I highly recommend Mr. Belote to anyone in need of his services. Our only regret was not knowing about him sooner. Thank you & God Bless You

Top Notch

Mr. James Belote did a great job in handling my case and doing everything he could to get it settled in a timely manner. There were a few hiccups, but they weren't with him or his office. He and I took them in stride and carried on with what was best for me. He was excellent in communicating with ...me my options and the ramifications of those options. He kept me informed every step of the way. I would highly recommend Mr. Belote to anyone who is need of a personal injury and/or accident lawyer. Thank you, James.

Thank you James Belote

As a personal injury attorney, there is none finer than James Belote. From the moment I walked into the offices of Stipe and Belote, I was assured that I would be a priority. I chose to be represented by the firm and never regretted that decision for a moment. From that point forward I was kept in th...e loop about my case and always advised the on any progress along the way. I could not have made a better decision.

  • 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.
