Great Lawyer

I engaged James French to resolve a promissory note collection. I was very impressed with his professionalism. I am a senior citizen and was anxious about bringing an attorney into this dispute. JIm was kind, but professional. He was clear, concise, and to the point while gathering information a...bout the case. Jim's negotiating skills were evident when the case was resolved very quickly, and to my satisfaction. I am so grateful to have had Jim French as my attorney.

Great communicator. And conscience of our budget

My 85-year-old mother was getting the runaround from a debtor and knew she had to sue. She didn't want to put a lot of money into it and started doing it herself, then asked me to look into it. What a relief that Jim could file for summary judgment and get her a settlement that was more than she was ...prepared for and paid out quickly. Mom was concerned about paying a lawyer a huge percentage, but his hourly rate, and the limited hours Jim billed, made it a wonderful and economic outcome. Will definitely call again!!

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.
