On top of it!

I was referred to Jim Little through a friend. He was so gracious enough to write a few letters quickly to see if our landlord would return our deposit in full. He was so kind to help us since we were in the right and they were clearly wrong. We bounced letters back and forth and then we finally sat ...with him and made arrangements that we would go farther and sue the landlord. Jim was so professional in all his letters and the other attorney that our landlord had hired was not. Jim was doing everything by the book and was very clear to the other attorney that the landlord had broke the law and needed to pay or we would take it to court. It was settled out of court and Jim was on top of them to get our money back quickly. I would totally use Jim Little again if I ever needed to hire an attorney again.

Landlord security deposit recovered

3 months ago my roommates and myself moved out of a 3 bedroom townhome owned by a local contractor. We had paid a $2000 security deposit initially and had every intention of getting that money back, but our landlord decided that he was going to unlawfully keep as much of that money as possible. We co...ntacted Mr. Little when it was clear that our landlord was not going to return any of our calls or attempts to get in touch with him regarding our deposit. Mr. Little acted fast and was able to get a full refund of our deposit right when we needed it the most! He saved us from the cost and hassle of a court trial and was incredibly helpful and pleasant to work with. I would recommend Mr. Little to anyone looking for a professional lawyer who gets the job done fast!

Couldn't have done it without Jim's help

Jim recently helped me resolve a bitter Tenant/Landlord issue and recovered 100% of my deposit. In what have should have been an amicable situation, my landlord blatantly refused to follow the law and as such, I was stressed to the end of my rope of trying to protect my rights. I contacted Jim hopi...ng to find a resolution and not only did he respond immediately, he was well-informed of the particular situation and the laws regarding it, and I am so grateful that he relieved a HUGE amount of unnecessary stress. His attentiveness and professionalism made it possible for me to walk away with what was rightfully mine, and in a very short period of time. Jim's knowledge, commitment, fortitude, and patience serve him well as an attorney. I HIGHLY recommend Jim and feel confident that if I have any future issues or concerns, he is my go-to advisor/representative for legal issues. Honestly, I am now VERY RELIEVED to have peace of mind, thanks to Jim.

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.
