Jennifer B.

Jim Ross Law Group is unlike any of the numerous other law groups / independent attorneys I have interviewed or put on retainer. I came to him in October, a couple of weeks after a big car accident which involved my children and I. I wish I had called earlier. In fact, I truly wish I knew about this... law group when I was going through my very convoluted divorce. First of all, Jim called me within a couple of hours after I left a voicemail. He accomodated my schedule and met with me on a Saturday for a consultation (which was free). No BS - straight to ‘I can tell you right now, I can’t do X, Y or Z but I CAN do A, B, and C’. He did not sell me false hopes. His approach allowed me to make an educated decision on who to move forward with on my case. His workforce is mostly young but this quickly proved to be to my advantage (and, I’m certain to the advantage of all of their clients) as these young faces are FRESH with knowledge, sharp as heck and incredibly energized to reperesent with fierceness. When I took a look at the track record of their more tenured staff, I immediately realized they were the ones showing the ropes to the younger faces. What a powerful group - no kidding. So very grateful to have found this firm. They will be handling any future needs (God forbid we have any more needs), without a doubt.

acciedent

absolutely, the worst law firm to ever deal with I would never ever recommend him to anyone. his law firm doesn't know how to deal with personnel injury at all. the attorney I had she never returned calls or emails and she never kept me in loop at all like she said from the being. she took her time a...nd dragging her feet getting my medical records and then they sent me to these crummy doctors who really didn't treat me at all I rushed to finish treatment by the attorney because she wanted to be done with my case and because she didn't want to deal with it no more and the doctor the sent me too I was never should have been released because I wasn't ready to be released. they never requested the video tape at all nor did they get any evidence for my case. I was never sent to a doctor that would diagnose me correctly, had to go to my regular doctor to find out I had serve nerve damage and I am just now getting better because of my doctor and why take a case that you never intended to proceed or help me and then drop me. the best thing that happened o me is they dropped me I got a excellent attorney that knows how to handle my kind of cases. In my opinion Jim Ross law firm shouldn't take cases that he can't handle or like I was told my case wasn't a million case so I got dropped, well my settle was 1.9 million

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.
