excellent attorney

James Belote and staff were very professional in the settlement of our case, and with their keeping my husband and I "in the loop" as time progressed. I can only say thank you.

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.

Awesome job!

Stipe & Belote Law Office is top notch. Im normally not even one to write a review however I know it does help people that were in my shoes not knowing who to hire after my accident. Mr. James Belote cared about my case and we came out with the best outcome possible in my case. He worked hard and wha...t I respect about James the most is he is a straight up honest guy who will work hard and get you the best deal possible. Great job! I would highly recommend James Belote!

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.
