A lawyer's lawyer

I am a litigator/trial lawyer with a law practice similar to James Vickman’s. I have come to know and admire him as a colleague up close. So when I needed to retain an attorney to represent me in my own lawsuit (as a plaintiff), I knew he was the right lawyer for me. We are now in the thick of liti...gation, and I have kept close tabs on the case. I can confidently say that I retained an advocate who is smart, conscientious, and very knowledgeable in the law. After I recently sat in on a deposition that he took of the defendant, I reported to my co-plaintiffs: "I attended almost the entire depo. Our lawyer did a masterful, thorough, hard-hitting job, getting great admissions. Could be the basis for a substantial punitive damages award. Three cheers for Jim!" Mr. Vickman is also highly ethical; it is clear he puts his clients' needs ahead of his own. Also notable is that he welcomes his clients’ input and collaboration, and is modest, never putting on airs. You won’t go wrong retaining Mr. Vickman.

Knight In Shining Armor

Jim Vickman is a hero. In early 2014, a few years after my husband died, I found myself called upon to help my father-in-law alone and unable to care for himself. To me it was mess. I didn't know what to do until a five-minute phone conversation with an assisted living facility administrator led t...o the following exchange. "She: Do you have power of attorney? Me: No. She: Then you need to get that in place first. I suggest you call an attorney by the name of Jim Vickman." I never spoke with that administrator again. She was just the link to Jim who assured me he could help me. This all led to my becoming Dad's court-appointed conservator and allowed me to take care of him in the best possible way through the end of his life in 2015. Jim Vickman was my champion when I truly needed one

Excellent experience

Jim was an absolutely fantastic lawyer. I was very satisfied with the level of service that was provided in a very difficult case by Jim. He was very efficient and conscientious of my time. Everything was completed in a very timely fashion and negotiated for me the best possible deal. He was incred...ibly hard working and thorough from start to finish of this case. I greatly appreciate all the time and effort he put into my case.

"I'm not joking when I tell you that Jim is one of THE BEST attorneys that I personally know. My office is a few doors down from Jim and I have gotten to know him very well over the years. He's always the first one in and the last one out. He's incredibly passionate about his work. He is one of the most zealous and intelligent advocates I've ever met. It's been a pleasure knowing Jim and being his friend."

"I worked on an appeal of a case in which Jim Vickman was the trial lawyer. It was a very complex case with a very long record. When I reviewed the transcript, it was apparent that Jim is a great trial lawyer who is able to make complex legal arguments while he is still keeping track of the multitudes of detail in a trial. In addition, he has done a great job of relating to the clients, keeping them informed and letting them know that he cares about them and their case. I wholeheartedly endorse Jim as a trial lawyer."
