Best Attorney for Auto Accidents

James Belote is an honest attorney that will not gas you up with unrealistic expectations for your case. He has helped me with a couple of auto accidents over the last 15 years and I have never been disappointed with the outcome. Crystal is also wonderful to work with and very prompt at responding.

Great Attorney and staff

I had an auto accident with injury and came to see James Belote. He took my case, and I was so glad he did. I've never been to an attorney before, and he was so kind, compassionate, and cared about my well-being. He walked me through the process, and we were able to settle my case. I will defi...nitely recommend him to my friends and family. Also, his staff Terri and Crystal were great too.

One of the best attorneys you'll find in OKC!

If you are looking for an attorney that will take care of you, James is it!! He is professional, courteous and super responsive. Not only will he will personally call you and provide you an update on your case, but he takes the time to reach out to you prior to any appointments to make sure you under...stand what to expect. Hands down one of the best attorneys I've worked with!!

Very Diligent in settling our car accident case

James Belote was very diligent in dealing with the responsible party's insurance adjuster. They were less than forthcoming in their responses to our requests. He did not give up until we reached a satisfactory agreement. I appreciate the courteous professionalism displayed in our case. Thank you ... for all you did for us.

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.
