He is extremely competent and FIGHTER for his clients!

James, was such a great listener and empathetic to my situation. He had a game plan on our first visit...I could tell that he was fully invested in my case. He always gave me his honest opinion. He kept me in the loop from point A, B and to C. I felt comfortable in his hands. He is extremely compete...nt and he will FIGHT for you! He is no push over by any means! I was so SO thankful he is my attorney to this day. I am VERY satisfied at the large settlement he got for me!

Highly recommended

A couple of years ago my son was rear ended by a dump truck, we called James and he handled the case quickly and my son was very satisfied with the outcome. When my husband and I was in a wreck that was no fault of our own I knew who to call. James was available 24/7 to assist me with any questions... I had and eased my mind through the whole process. James and his secretary Crystal took care of everything for us and made sure we were compensated for all that we went through.

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.

Teamwork

James and his team were more concerned I was getting the Healthcare and rehab needed to recover from an auto accident caused by a couple yahoos road raging at each other. They kept me well informed all the way through to the end. Great Teamwork.

Motorcycle Accident

3/05/2021 a person pulled in front of me and I hit broadside throwing me from motorcycle and over car landing face down on concrete Aprox 80’ past point of impact. Lucky to have survived with so much pain I waited to heal at home because Covid 19 had just hit. A month into my healing during a long so...aking bath to reduce pain and inflammation I realized something very serious was wrong in my reproductive area. Still bruised and swollen I called an attorney I grew up with named Mike Tipps and immediately he recommended me to James Belote with Stipe & Belote Law Firm after seeing the pictures. I met with Mr Belote signed a contract two power of attorney’s and a total of 4 releases and Mr Belote got my case settled quickly with a big return. He always answered all my calls and texts and even consulted and provided document preparation on some unrelated issues. Mr Belote truly cared about me and the damage done to me and he made them pay. Now it’s been compensated and case closed we are friends and he still answers my calls or texts. If you have been in a accident call James Belote. Do not delay because the sooner you call him the sooner he can go to work for you.
