Personable, hardworking, and fair. Highly recommended.

Jim was very knowledgeable, available, and was able to get the best deal possible. He was very fair with his rates, and I felt that he absolutely had my best interests in mind and worked hard. He was always easy to work with, and understood my position. I would highly recommend Jim.

Criminal defense council

Jim Little - Thank you for your advice and calm demeanor regarding my case dismissal and proceedings. I had little knowledge of the charges and potential liabilities in the event I was convicted. I appreciate your after business hours communication and the fair price I've received. I know you've t...aken additional hours at your expense beyond my original quote for your services. Jim consulted me on a previous matter and took time gathering details though he knew I was probably not able to retain him in that instance a few years ago. I did not feel rushed explaining facts or if my case was not being considered fully. Jim is very good at communicating and being conscice with his legal expertise. He listened and strategized a plan based partly on my requests while highlighting the potential risks and consequences. In the end my case was dismissed due to his courtroom techniques, negotiating experience, and knowledge. I would seek his services and consultation in the future and I recommend his services to my friends.

Recovery of Security Deposit

Being new to Vail, I was unsure who to contact when I was faced with a legal situation regarding the recovery of my security deposit. I was put in an unfortunate situation where my former landlord was refusing to return any money to me and did not provide a lease for me to sign when I moved in to th...e residence. After researching the relevant statutes, Jim drafted a letter telling the landlord that he is required by law to refund my deposit to me and my boyfriend. Within days, he recovered the money. Jim came highly recommended by several people. He was extremely professional and thorough. If ever in need of any sort of legal services, there would be no hesitation in retaining his services again.

Helped with DUI

Jim was a great lawyer for a rough situation. He was constantly available, and always honest and up front. He helped me reduce my charge from a DUI to a DWAI, as well as get favorable sentencing. This is the first charge/conviction Ive ever faced, and the whole process is long and confusing, but J...im made the whole process very smooth. Jim is a great guy, a great lawyer, and would be an asset to your defense

Outstanding lawyer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jim Little came highly recommended from everyone I know. He's the best, most professional, punctual, and very reasonably priced. All I did was call him and he took it from there. Jim Little came and met me near where I lived for a consultation. He made my whole unfortunate situation better right from... beginning to the end, which ended in him getting the charges dismissed!!!
