Professional Engineer

Jim Gordon is the best attorney I have ever hired. I have sought Jim out on matters of partnerships, construction, oil and gas transactions, as well as contractual disputes. He is very well rounded in and knowledgeable in a wide range of legal matters. He is awesome in the courtroom, and he has neve...r given me any bad advise.

Personable Professional

Me Gordon has handled a case for me that involved an underage, unlicensed driver who was given permission to drive himself and friends to and from school by his parents. While driving, he failed to control his speed and rear ended a vehicle I owned. Following Mr Gordon’s guidance I was able to reco...up a reasonable amount of money and a lein which limits the offender family from selling property without honoring the judgment I was awarded against them. Mr Gordon is very fair and provided clear guidance.

Highly Recommend. Knowledgable. Experienced. Results.

James has been my attorney for over five years and has successfully counseled me in matters regarding single family HOA ARB matters, investment property and rental contracts, purchase contracts and matters concerning construction issues with multi-family. Jim is very knowledgable, works with a high ...sense of urgency, is an excellent communicator and I highly recommend him.

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.
