Extremely knowedgable and relentless
James Fox took on my malpractice case, battled in court and won a large sum of money for my family -- amazing lawyer...brilliant in the courtroom!!!

Great!!!!
I was in a serious crash where my car battery broke and battery acid was slashed in my eyes. Mr. Fox sued the driver of the other car that ran a red light and the hospital because they never washed the acid from my eyes. I wound up losing all vision in my right eye. Mr. Fox won a big settlement for me even though there were many lawyers on the other side blaming me for the crash and denying fault on the doctors and paramedics. I'm very grateful that mr fox stood by me, believed in me and fought hard to the happy ending. Thank you James.

Small Claims Advice
James Fox advised me regarding a small claims case against a rheumatologist who gave my elderly, frail wife four iron infusions even though blood tests showed there was no iron deficiency. The doctor told me that, since my wife was on hospice, Medicare would not pay for the treatment and that I would have to pay, which I did. I later discovered that he had billed Medicare and been paid by them. The doctor had prescribed 6 infusions, but she died after the fourth. I could not prove that the infusions caused her death or that it was a wrongful death. Medicare documents also showed that the copay for the 4 infusions was about 20% of what I paid the doctor, who refused to refund the difference. I have talked to several malpractice attorneys, but none expressed any interest in this case, only James did and at no charge.

Thank you James.

Mr. Fox took time to answer my questions. He was very knowledgable, and thoughtful. I appreciated his candor and the time he spent with me. He was very kind and offered for me to contact him later if I had more questions. I appreciated his direct professionalism, and his warmth.

Handled the wrongful death of my wife
My wife died in a hospital due to malpractice. Mr. Fox took my case and settled it so that my two girls now have a college fund, and I am able to provide for them until that time. He helped me through a difficult time in my life and I am very grateful.

A lawyer with a heart.
Mr. Fox was wonderful. I was in a bad car accident with my two daughters. He took care of us from the very beginning. He handled everything in a very professional manner, and at the same time was very caring and reassuring. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer.

I wish I hired him first!
I had a bad accident and hired a lawyer I found on internet who wanted to settle my case for $15,000. Then I found Fox and Fox who ended up suing my first lawyer for legal malpractice and got $250,000...which I was entitled to in first place.

He knows so much medicine -- smarter then my doctor!
sometimes I forget fox is not a doctor -- he's the smartest lawyer I've ever met and knew more medicine than stupid doctors who nearly killed me by prescribing the wrong drug. The pharmacy should have picked up on my doctors mistake. Fox filed suit against doctor and pharmacy and we won! I learned to always double check any prescription pills before taking them. fox taught me some good lesson. His staff was really nice too -- great people, always there to help. I hope I wing need them again -- but I trust them with all I got
