Litigation lawyer | Dec 12

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. I first worked with Jim as attorneys at the same law firm. I have since opposed Jim in a lawsuit involving a business dispute. Jim is always very well prepared, thoroughly researching both the law and facts in every matter. He has the unique ability to clearly convey his message in complicated matters to the court, opposing counsel, and his clients. Jim's ethics are beyond reproach. His word is his bond. Jim is a zealous advocate for his clients. Yet, at all times, he is always professional and a true gentleman."

Avvo Rating

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.
