Contentious dispute - excellent results!

If we could, we would give James Shanor a higher rating than allowed. James expertly resolved our contentious home co-ownership dispute and navigated a very honest, reasonable result that was 30% higher than the other party’s original offer. If you need to get out of a sticky situation for a very fai...r, less than excepted attorney cost, he’s the lawyer who can get the job done.

Very effective and cost-conscious

I recently retained James Shanor to work on a tenant case for my son. I'm a lawyer, but not licensed in Colorado. I did considerable research and turned up Mr. Shanor's name as someone worth considering. I talked to James on the phone a couple of times and found him engaging, knowledgeable and pro...fessional. I then flew to Colorado and my son and I met with James and confirmed that he was our choice. James was extremely effective in getting my son's formerly completely recalcitrant landlord to settle our claim for a substantial sum and release him from his lease. Further, James was able to reverse the insurance company's refusal to pay our claim and persuade them to pay the maximum claim. I am quite sure that without James neither of these outcomes would have been possible. In addition, we were charged a very reasonable fee for James's services.

Exceeded expectations

I contacted a local law office with no response. Tried another office and James Shanor returned my call immediately. Although my case was small, he treated my questions respectfully, provided clear explanations and options and began my process quickly. Fees were well explained upfront and expectatio...ns set. My needs were not drawn out but when the circumstances changed, James was available to provide options. I appreciated his availability and sound legal advice. When my case was complete, outstanding funds were quickly returned. Will certainly use James again if the need arises and would recommend his services to others.

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.
