Great lawyer

I could not be happier with the way James handled my case. I felt as though I was the only client he had and all his time was devoted to me. James is very response to email or calls. Even on weekends I know he would get back to me. I actually was shocked when he responded to me on a Saturday. I felt ...as I had a friend representing me not not a lawyer, that's what it felt like. I could trust him as a friend trust another friend. I would recommend James to anyone that is looking for the help the deserve. I have already recommended a friend to him because I know I can trust him with friends and family. I would use him again if needed.

Amazing Representation

I had the pleasure of meeting and being represented by James Bergstedt. I was severly injured by a driver who was operating his car while under the influence (DUI). I was very unfamiliar with my legal rights in this type of situtaion. Mr. Bergstadt handling of my case was impeccible. He kept me i...nformed throughout the process and was an excellent advocate on my behalf. He was highly supportive, professional and adept in representing me through the legalities of this difficult experience. I would highly recommend Mr. Bergstedt to any of my friends and/or associates.

Contract review

Jim Bergstedt is an excellent attorney! As a physician, it is very difficult to understand all the implications and legal jargon of a contract for employment. My contract was 13 pages long. Jim Bergstedt did a phenomenal and extensive job reviewing my contract. He had numerous suggestions and rec...ommendations, of which several were well taken at the institution where I have accepted a position. Jim Bergstedt has also been pivotal in the formation of my Trust in order to protect my assets and has also worked on my family's Will. He is very knowledgeable and bright. He works hard. He makes sure all questions are completely answered. He is very kind and personable. It has been a very wonderful experience to work with Jim Bergstedt. I would recommend Jim Bergstedt to anyone for pretty much any legal matters.

Timely and Accurate

Jim has been very helpful to me. He makes sure that he (or another subject matter expert) find information, make recommendations, and take action in a prompt manner. I feel like he uses billable hours in a responsible, yet accurate way.

A very good lawyer

Jim did a wonderful job on my case. I found him to be very helpful. When I called or emailed him about something, he got back to me quickly. He was very good at keeping me well informed about what was happening in my case. He was friendly and personable, and I found him easy to talk to and work w...ith. I would recommend him as a lawyer

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.
