Andrea James

Andrea was thorough, proactive, concise and clear in her recommendations and explanations. She is experienced and knowledgeable in her field however she did not hesitate to garner and seek counsel and input from others with expertise if needed. She was both professional and compassionate in her deal...ings with me and those involved in this case. My case was particularly difficult and complicated and Andrea took action to get the necessary resources to effectively and successfully represent me and protect my family. She was also aware and considerate of the financial burden a lawsuit can be. She was thorough but also respectful of the costs. I highly recommend her.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have had the pleasure of trying two week-long jury trials with Andrea. Her attitude was optimistic without being haughty. She was extremely prepared as to all aspects of both trials. The juries responded well to her, and she brought out the best testimony from each witness. Her knowledge of evidence and procedure are thorough. I am pleased to endorse this attorney's work, professionalism and ethics."
