Great Communication and passion to serve

When I first hired James Lionberger my case, at that time, was fairly cut and dry. When it became complicated, Mr. Lionberger and his staff took the bull by the horns and drove my case to closure. His staff are great communicators by keeping me informed about every little detail. I would highly recom...mend the law firm of James Lionberger.

Jim Lionberger is an example of what Family Lawyers should be

I am so grateful to have found and been accepted as a client by this firm! I needed a divorce from a volatile and unpredictable person. Jim and Diana kept everything very professional and as calm as possible. Even from our first interview Jim was concerned with my safety, he spent his own time goi...ng over safety practices with me. Throughout the process Jim kept me current with all events. He prepared me and my case for the worst scenario to get the best results, should that happen. He explained the laws that were applicable and how a judge would view my case. Luckily the other party was a final no-show and we got a best scenario result. Regarding fees and billing, Jim and Diana kept very accurate accounting of time and effort spent on my behalf and all were included in my billing statements. I really expected the costs to be higher and was worrying about how I was going to afford them. Due to their efficiency the costs were more than reasonable and I am able to budget them in. I disagree with a previous reviewer who says Jim is only after $$$'s, Jim does his business to help people and asks only to paid commensurately . He is honest and up front about his fees and intentions. I know that he spent unpaid time on the phone and in person with me. If I could I would rate this firm 10 stars out of 5!!

Overall great guy

I went in to see Mr. Lionberger for a case, while also having a different attorney for an unrelated case. I wish I had not already retained an attorney for my other case when I walked out of his office so that he would take over it as well. I even thought about forfeiting my retainer on the other att...orney very heavily. I highly recommend.

A Great Attorney

Not only is Jim an extraordinarily knowledgeable and experienced attorney, he is an extremely patient, kind and honest person. I was very satisfied with his representation. I would and have referred others to him without hesitation.

  • 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.
