James Damon Blake

After working with 2 lawyers previously from Austin , and getting taken advantage of I was a little leery to try again with a new firm. James Blake completely exceeded my expectations and restored all my faith. Not only is he very responsive and available via phone and email, but he really takes his ...time to understand actually what your needs are. I had an immediate issue that needed to be resolved. I own a web design company and a client and stolen my design and development and placed it on a 3rd parties website. Within a week and a half James was able to get my client to pay the outstanding balance he owed me in full plus an extra $1,000. We were able to have him also sign an agreement with all of our demands. Never have I been so pleased with an attorney, but resolving this issue put my mind at ease. I will be working with James again and again!

James Blake came highly recommended to me when I needed to hire a lawyer for business matters. I am a doctor and owner of a health clinic and was in the process of buying out my business partner. He was able to negotiate and complete my partnersip buyout. He kept me informed throughout the whole p...rocess and made this stressful situation go as smooth as possible. I have continued to use The Blake Firm for other business matters and would highly recommend them.

I'm a newbie to the startup world and I'm the type of guy that wants to make sure I'm prudent about addressing issues before they arise. So, when I tackled my web 2.0 startup idea and had to prep my contracts, I hired James to take care of it and ensure that I had covered all of my bases. He not on...ly customized and wrote up all of my contracts, be also read through my potential contractors' other contracts and actually saved my business when he discovered a potentially-crippling non-compete clause with a contractor's other employer. He also offered valuable advice on business tactics and development, and was always easy to get ahold of. I strongly value communication with clients and partners, and so I gained a lot of respect for James when he confessed, and followed through, with the same values. His rates were also quite reasonable and he was very willing to work with me. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to get started in the high tech world and who wants a great business and legal edge.
