James Lee, with Liberty Law, is "Sharp" and "Professional".

James Lee's Professional Services was excellent. James is a friendly, compassionate person. I was impressed with his knowledge, and navigation of the "Justice System". He is truly a person that wants to help his clients through the Justice System. I highly recommend the Services of James Lee, and L...iberty Law.

Review

Mr. Lee was presented with an affidavit from a witness to my car accident in which the police told the witness to leave the scene, and refused to follow up with the witness or interview the police officer. Mr. Lee was given an investigation report detailing the defendent's VIN provided to the po...lice officer who told the witness to leave, that this VIN was false. Mr. Lee then discovered the defendant was part of a billion dollar trust just prior to negotiating a settlement, yet was so broke himself he immediately accepted the settlement instead of filing a lawsuit against the party. When Lee received the settlement check, he was so broke he deposited into his own account and could not provide a check to me until the check cleared his bank. Mr. Lee was made aware that due to the nature of the accident involving a member of Utah Governor's legal staff and the police officer who responded and accepted a false VIN and refused to allow me to make a written statement -- was then discovered that he did not receive a police dispatch to respond to the accident scene -- which made the circumstances very suspicious as the defendent was a legal staffer for Governor Herbert at the time and the cousin of Jon Huntsman Jr. who was running for president in 2012. The accident left me in need of a hip surgery, knocked me momentarily unconsious and urinating blood for several months. By the time I hired Lee, almost two years had gone by in which the insurance company refused to take any responsibility until I had done all the investigation work and work up myself and then had a letter from insurance company accepting 100% - even before I hired this guy.

Excellent

I had a case where an insurance company did not want to pay my medical bills from a car accident made by one of their clients. The case took almost two years to be presented at court. The defendant's lawyer showed documents and assumptions that were never made in the two years until the day we were a...t court. It was a difficult situation, because none of us knew about this information. However, James Lee handled the situation really well and acted very professional. He was direct, did not go around the bush and presented a clear explanation to the judge. The other lawyer could not really say anything against his words and at the end we won the case. I highly recommend James Lee. Thank you
