Posted by anonymous | March 2, 2018 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Terrible experience.

We hired James at Jensen Bayles for estate litigation. James assured us that it was very good case. James assumed at the beginning it would be an easy, reasonable settlement for the first lawsuit and did not see language problems that could embroil us in another lawsuit for many years that would cos...t a small fortune. James is very nice, but not an aggressive attorney and works defensively. Should have gone with another attorney - very expensive, stressful, painful, filled with loss lesson for us. Go to more a experienced and aggressive attorney. James will not give it the proper attention. He allowed the other attorney suing us to “drive the bus.” The other attorney was always in control and applying constant pressure. James did not protect us and will not return the pressure.

Majestic View Lodge

We have used the expertise of JensenBayles for our estate planning, & also for several legal matters concerning Majestic View Lodge. Their professional yet friendly approach made us feel comfortable both personally & professionally. I have, & will continue, to recommend JensenBayles to both friends &... business associates.

Avvo Rating

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.
