James Anthony Giries

Mr. Giries was the third lawyer we met up with regarding our case, and the only one to sit down with us at the beginning and explained his strategy as many times as we asked him too, he was very thorough throughout the whole process. He was always available through e-mail and phone calls and answered... all of our questions completely anytime; English isn't our first language but it absolutely wasn't an issue working with Mr. Giries, he was very professional and patient while handling our case. The process was taken care of in a very short amount of time and we couldn't be happier working with Mr. Giries. Thank you!

I had a very complicated divorce and James was very knowledgeable and professional. He was dedicated to my case and made sure I was informed and prepared every step of the way. I never felt like just a client. He genuinely cared about me and my children and made sure we were taken care of. I have and... will continue to recommend him to anyone who needs direction and council when going through divorce and family separation.

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!

I feel it necessary to warn others that this Attorney. although kind, will not represent you well. I did most of the work with my case and had to follow up on just about everything. I had a very difficult time reaching Mr. Giries and could not get quality work from him at all. There were constant e...rrors and I spent a lot of time reviewing and handling issues. I do not feel like he worked for me on my case at all. The final issue was a complete lack of preparation for a settlement conference. I should not have continued with the conference but for some reason I did. I wanted things to work out and get finalized. It of course did not end well and now I am forced to spend more money and seek a new attorney for a trial. I knew I would need a new attorney anyway if it went to trial but I thought Mr. Giries could help me keep that from happening. This was not a hard case at all. The main concerns were that I did not trust the accuracy or validity of Mr. Giries work. Divorce is a VERY stressful time especially with young children involved. You really need to have an attorney you feel confident in and this was certainly NOT how I felt with Mr. Giries. I gave it as much time as I could and then eventually had to seek a different attorney. I do not want someone else to have to go through what I did. What was thought to be a pretty simple case has turned into a disaster that is now going on the 6th month. We should have been able to settle things and it is now going to a trial. I am very disappointed in the way Mr. Giries handled my case. From losing paperwork to no communication to errors that cost me money and a lot of time, there were not many things that went smooth. Even accounting and billing had to be carefully reviewed. (I only received one accounting statement in the now 6 months) I hate to write such a negative review however I would have avoided this attorney had I seen other poor reviews prior to hiring. I hope this helps save someone the same stress and heartache I have had to go through. My new Attorney accomplished more in 2 hours than Mr. Giries did in a month. Even the last item I needed from him never happened and I gave it a week. My new Attorney did it while I was in her office for the 1st meeting. Please choose your attorney wisely and get a referral if you can. Divorce is a very difficult thing to have to handle on your own. If you do not feel confident, move on until you find the right one.

James is an excellent attorney. He is knowledgeable and thoughtful. James kept me up to speed throughout my divorce. All my calls were returned within 2 hours. James always responded to my emails in a timely manner. James is a compassionate person who understands the difficulty of ending a marri...age. I really felt that James was on my side.
