Representing me at my best

I engaged Daryl James because of his emphasis on a collaborative approach to a divorce. I appreciated that he was calm and thoughtful; he worked with me to come to a resolution that reflected my best intentions. I would recommend him wholeheartedly.

Posted by Barbara | October 02, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

collaborative divorce

Daryl fully embraced my goal to keep the divorce process as stress free as possible by helping find ways my former husband and I could work together in cooperation rather than with adversity. He was clear about things I needed to do and things my former husband and I needed to do together without al...ways requiring his direct intervention. But at the same time I knew Daryl was completely available when I need to consult with him. I greatly appreciated his gentle and supportive approach while at the same time had complete trust in his professional abilities.

Daryl K James's Lawyer Endorsements

Endorse Daryl
Michael K Travers Jr headshot
Michael Travers

Divorce and separation lawyer | Nov 14

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse Daryl James for his knowledge, skill, professionalism, and human civility. I am familiar with Daryl's legal work in two ways: 1) when he has been opposing counsel in Collaborative Law Divorces; and, 2) when I have facilitated and mediated Collaborative Divorce proceedings in which he represented one of the parties. Daryl really "walks the talk" in Collaborative Law. In the matters I have been involved in with him, he has used his knowledge and experience constructively for both the protection of his clients and the productive engagement of each party and professional involved in the case. Daryl's experience shows. His understanding of both legal and non-legal needs of his clients is exemplary. This legal and non-legal expertise is clearly must be an asset to ALL his clients."

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.
