Resolved very complex Partnership Employment issue

Jim and his staff worked with us for more then 5 years on other matters with success as our corporate counselor before we had his firm take on a very complex, and potentially very costly corporate matter. They researched all of the claims, responded, formed proper defenses for the claims from o...ur corporate documentation and guided us as to how to improve our processes and corporate arrangements to help us avoid issues in the future. He saved us many hundreds of thousands and grief taking the matter to a successful conclusion for us. In the 4 years since that matter, we have retained him to resolve 2 other matters of contract dispute and getting due payments from clients that failed to pay upon project completion, again, both in our favor. Long time corporate client here. We get great responsiveness, honesty, good explanations whenever we ask for advice, and successful results.

Excellent Lawyer

I had been involved in a protracted real estate transaction and we had reached a major stalemate. We were down to the wire and had only two weeks to get the transaction closed. My client was advised by several other local financial and legal professionals to contact James Schwartz. We went from a...n almost a dead deal to closing within one week thanks to James Schwartz legal expertise. James kept us all informed the whole time and performed above and beyond to get the deal closed on time. I would not hesitate recommending him to any client or friend.

Great Lawyer

Jim and his Firm were retained to help me with a sticky employment matter. Jim was available to meet with me whenever I needed him. In fact, Jim dropped everything he was doing to attend a night meeting that was crucial to my case. A resolution was negotiated with the results I wanted. I was extreme...ly satisfied with the legal services I received and appreciated Jim’s advice and counsel. I would not hesitate to recommend Jim and His Firm for anyone needing legal services.

Past Client

I was represented by Jim Schwartz and his Firm in helping me negotiate a very difficult business agreement. I found Jim to be responsive and available when I needed him. His years of practice and insight helped me obtain a great result. I would highly recommend Jim and His Law Firm.

Cash grab from athletic eligibility

Initlaly told us a cost for heloping get our child's athletic elgibility would be $8,000. He was rarely available, told us he had big CIF cases and won them. Later found out he didn;t have as many as he lead us to beleive. He was very poor at communicating, used only half the facts in our case, very ...unprofessioanl during the appeal and only made it 1/3 of the way through the appeal process with a $12,000 bill. He hurt us more than helped, an attroney with no CIF experience did a better job for us!
