I love Katie!!!!! Best lawyer ever!!!!

Katie treated me with respect and really took care of me. She fought extra hard to get me every extra dollar she could. She kept me in the loop about everything, and explained everything in a way that made sense. I strongly recommend anyone that needs an attorney for an accident to hire Katie James. ...Best lawyer ever!!!!!

Absolutely excellent

Katie James was an absolutely amazing lawyer, I contacted here about every 2 weeks for a little over a year and a half and every time I called I would get an update on my case and she would explain to me what’s going on and what’s happening. She’s nothing but perfect and I would recommend her to anyo...ne.

Amazing lawyer that will help fight for you and not give up!

I was in a car accident back in December 2018 and my initial lawyer dragged his feet on everything and then ultimately told me that he did not have time to take it to trial at this time. That is when I had Katie take over who was highly recommended by another attorney friend of mine and she immedia...tely filed suit and we were able to settle the case in August of 2019. If I had hired her First, I am confident that we would have been able to settle it matter much sooner. She did a great job and I highly recommend her and will be sending her clients in the future.

The MOST REMARKABLE & CARING LAWYER you will find!!!!

I spent my early childhood to my adulthood at the courthouse with my grandfather who was a State District Judge. I say this because if anyone knows lawyers, it's someone whose at a courthouse a lot. I've seen the good and bad and a few in between. BUT.... I have NEVER seen a lawyer with the brilliant... attributes Ms. Katherine James holds. She's a cut above the rest and as a client of hers I can tell you, she makes it well known that you are her #1 priority and she does NOT stop till she gets what you deserve!! Katie fought EXTREMELY hard for me during my settlement. I had a couple lawyers before her that couldn't come close to what she was able to do. In all honesty, when she called me and told me my settlement amount that SHE was able to get me, I thought she had to be joking!! BUT, she wasn't and that's because she truly CARES AND FIGHTS for what is RIGHTFULLY yours. She values her clients and does so with a true heart. It's very obvious Katie truly loves helping people and takes pride in doing so.... she will NOT settle for anything less than you deserve!! I will be referring her to EVERYONE I know!! Katie, Thank you from the bottom of my heart for assisting me with my settlement. You dear are the reason me and my children will be able to finally have our home!!!!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Katherine represented a company in which I am a member against our general contractor. We hired the general contractor to build our current office building. We began having problems with water penetration into the building not long after moving in. In the lawsuit we alleged defective workmanship against the general contractor and the subcontractors who installed the roof and stucco exterior. Katherine was instrumental in helping us to achieve a very favorable recovery, which has allowed us to repair our building. I highly recommend her for any civil litigation matter and particularly construction related litigation."

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.
