California IOLTA Trust Accounting Process Review

My CPA firm does accounting work for law firms. We needed help with a few murky IOLTA trust account process details. Jim reviewed our process document and questions. He provided guidance on handling each detail along with citations back to related court cases and ethics opinions. We also recei...ved accounts on how the Bar has handled similar situations on the past. We received the exact detail we needed along with substantial support. Thank you Jim! Paul C, CPA

Ethics and professional responsibility lawyer | Dec 12

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Jim is just a fantastic lawyer. I feel like there's nothing you can't tell him, and he doesn't judge. He's a phone call or email away when a lawyer has the most sensitive of ethical questions. For example, in dealing with an ethical issue, Jim will contribute insights that other lawyers wouldn't even think about. He's a creative thinker, a fine writer, and HIGHLY respected. Jim is clean, simple, fast, and absolutely lethal. I endorse him without a spot of reservation."

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.
