Amazing attorney!

Matters of family law are always painful for everyone, and my case was especially hard. James fought for me, so I could obtain a restraining order and dissolution of marriage against a very unwilling party. His legal expertise and experience navigating court matters were invaluable in such a trying t...ime. He was always available for consultation, offering legal advice in an easy to understand way, so that I always fully understood what was happening, every step of the way. In court, he was always ready to stand up for my interests with charisma and determination, obtaining the best results possible. He has a true gift for public speaking and the motivation to put it to good use. But even beyond his legal expertise, James is a truly good person. He can be relied upon to support his client through the most difficult and trying times. He was always there for me when I needed him and understood how emotionally challenging such matters can be. His constant support helped me remain strong through one of the most difficult times in my life, and to see the matter to completion. There may be other good lawyers out there, but no one could not ask for a stronger ally than James. I am truly thankful for all his help, and I would recommend him without reservation to all dealing with matters of family law. He will help you sail through difficult waters and safely arrive to shore. Thank you, James! I will never forget everything that you did for me!

Great guy and good at what he does

Currently have him fighting my custody case. He does an exceptional job. He is thorough and not bias and understands the demands of his clients.

Professional and successful

Attorney James Whiggam handled my divorce and he was professional and successful at getting me a great settlement. My husband used every trick in the book and my attorney was able to see through them all and when we went to court my Mr. Whiggam was able to take the tactics used by my husband and use...d them against my husband. The judge agreed with my attorney and I was awarded a very fair settlement. I strongly recommend James Whiggam as an attorney!
