Hire this guy, don't make the same mistake I did.

He was great. I tried to discuss with other attorneys and they were wanting to bill my card $100 just to talk. James took his time, gave me valuable feedback, and offered a variety of services based on my situation instead of just requesting a retainer to talk to me. I'd highly recommend this very kn...owledgeable attorney after the experience I had with mine. Don't hire someone who says they can handle family law, hire someone who can prove they handle family law.

Wonderful Divorce/Family Attorney

I was going through a very difficult separation and divorce with 2 children under the age of 6. The situation was heartbreaking and complicated, and James was there for me every step of the way. Not only did he give me excellent legal counsel, which was flawlessly executed, but he also helped with my... emotional stability. James was able to help teach me calming techniques so I could focus on the here and now. I was able to do something very scary (testifying in court) knowing he was at my side and I could handle my emotions. I am not only grateful for the outcome of my divorce, but for the constant support I received during and afterward. Thank you James.

Intergrity is James Giries middle name!

I wish there were more stars to give this man. James Giries is an outstanding lawyer. Finally, I have found a lawyer that is professional, caring, and has a lot of integrity. James was very attentive to my needs during a difficult legal battle I was having regarding an unjust Restraining Order. N...ot only did he go above and beyond for me, the case was resolved quickly and I now consider him a friend. I have never seen anyone work like he does inside the court room, and out. I believe if I would have went through any other attorney I wouldn't have won my case. James is smart, intelligent and a fighter. Unlike most attorney's James always got back to me right away with any questions or concerns, sometimes even when he was home. He made me feel important never just treated me like her client. A true professional and a man with great Integrity. James Giries will fight for you!

Professional Assistance

I was recently assisted by James Giries in a legal territory dispute with another chiropractor. He was able to help resolve the issue promptly and quickly quelled me fears. He was even able to find additional legal assistance that was needed once the legal attack I endured turned slanderous. I really... appreciate the help I received and would definitely recommend his help for similar matters.

James Giries

James handled my divorce. He answered all my questions thoroughly. And more importantly usually within minutes. James answers his own phone! He expressed concern for me personally. I never felt like my case was just another one on his desk. James is well schooled in the law. James has integ...rity and compassion. And also a great sense of humor.
