Top Notch Attorney!

I retained James Belote for a personal injury case after an auto accident. My case was handled very efficiently and proficiently. I received back injuries which included a fractured vertebrae. Kyphoplasty and injection procedures were performed. I was kept informed of my case throughout the process, ...and Mr Belote had the case settled out of court in 5 months. Mr. Belote’s legal assistant, Crystal was very helpful in communicating with me quickly to ensure all the paperwork and documents were efficiently in order. The complete process was done with ease and stress free. I couldn’t be happier with the handling of my case. I would highly recommend you consider the representation of Mr. James Belote. Rest assured, you can do so with confidence.

Extraordinary and Outstanding, I can’t say enough to show my extreme gratitude.

Thank you to the Law Offices of Stipe & Belote. Mr. Belote and staff are amazing caring people with the best work ethic. I’ve never known anyone that could make you feel so important and special. The advice, help and support they provide is above and beyond, more than I could’ve ever imagined. In my ...mind and in this time of difficulties, with their common sense and common courtesy this experience, they made me feel at ease. Thank you again to The Law Offices of Stipe and Belote

Exceptional

The staff at Stripe & Belote are exceptional. We worked personally with James Belote and his assistant for over a year. They answered every question, returned every call, and always ensured they were available when we had questions or concerns. The kindness and proffesionalism they exhibited made thi...s process much more tolerable than we ever anticipated. James ensured we understood all the legal information presented at each meeting in order to make informed decisions. We couldn't have hand picked a better law firm in the state!

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.
