Top Notch and Highly Recommended

My name is Patricia Micarelli and I'm an 85 year-old woman and a former resident of Georgetown, Texas. About 2 years ago, I had a horrible experience with Jiffy Lube there in Georgetown. They forgot to put the oil back in my 2007 Camry and the oil filter fell off whereby it burned up my engine and ...caused serious damage. My oldest daughter, Stace Pashuck, was initially the one that had to deal with this troubling and potentially dangerous and life-threatening situation with my car stalling out on the highway. After repeated attempts to get Jiffy Lube to respond for some type of resolution, even after they indirectly admitted fault, our actions for a desired solution was ignored and disregarded with no response at all. After a few weeks, my youngest daughter, Kelly Micarelli, proactively and vigorously searched for the best attorney in the particular area of the law and in this general area of North Texas. It didn't take long to realize that the only attorney for this case was James Twombly. Immediately after sitting down and talking with James, he was the right man for this case and my ensuing case against Jiffy Lube. He went to great lengths and explained the process in great detail with all of the steps that might be necessary to get Jiffy Lube to replace the engine set up a rental. The best thing we could have ever done was to hire James Twombly to represent me in this case. From the initial meeting, all the way to the end which resulted in a jury trial, James is the most professional, the most thorough, the most prepared, the most knowledgeable, the most seasoned, the most experienced, and the kindest attorney that I have had the privilege to be associated with and to have represent me. James was very sensitive to me, my age, and my family and kept us in the loop and informed every step of the way with such meticulous detail that everyone involved felt a sense of great comfort and great confidence throughout the whole process. When it came time for the trial, James rose to the occasion and handled, coordinated, and planned everything and then executed a flawless and perfect courtroom strategy that turned into a 6 to 0 unanimous verdict on my behalf. My son, Michael Micarelli, made the comment and emphatic statement, "James Twombly is the finest attorney he has ever met, been associated with, and had the pleasure to witness up close and personal." Afterwards, when it was time for the attorneys to go back in the Jury Room to meet the jurors, all six of the jurors asked James for his business card. That in and of itself speaks volumes to the caliber of attorney that James exemplifies and is to his clients and to all that cross his paths. In the final analysis, I am thankful, grateful, and enormously blessed that GOD crossed my path with James Twombly. He was my knight in shining armor. He went beyond the call of duty to make me and my family feel comfortable and completely confident throughout the whole trying 2-year process. James Twombly has proven himself to me and my family to be a man of great character, integrity, honesty, kindness, and distinct honor with great care and focus on the relationship with everyone he represents. My family just doesn't an attorney we can count on as the need arises, we now have a friend for life that we now consider family. Pat Micarelli

Maybe next time

I had a consultation with Mr Twombly and he took the time to review my file. Unfortunately we were not able to work together but he was very helpful and guided me the right direction. He knows what he's talking about and I would definitely recommend him if you have any legal issues

Pick James

James is the best. He took my case when no other lawyer would or at least not for anything less than 350/hr. I'm not sure what his prices are today but I can say what ever they may be, he is worth every penny. He believes in the truth and fights for justice.

Someone you can count on being in your corner...

I have known James in a professional group I attend and although I have not used his services directly, over the years I have recommended him to several people that needed counsel, including my daughter. His knowledge and "pit bull" attitude let me know with a certainty that when needing an attorney..., James is someone I want in my corner. His tenacity and character is everything you want in an attorney, when you find yourself in those situations when someone wants to take advantage of you...James will level the playing field.

Always there with information and help

A friend recommended I call James for help with an home insurance issue. James did not disappoint. He explained the process in a way I was able to understand and was quick to let me know of any important updates. If someone in my family were in need of some legal help I would tell them to at least gi...ve him a call.
