This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Not the attorney for you!!!!

I just left James Bader's office in shock at how rude and uneducated he was!!! I handed him my POWER OF ATTORNEY and he insisted it was a MEDICAL RATHER THEN A BROAD POWER WITH EXCEPTION TO MEDICAL!!! When he read it out loud he got mad at me because a woman should never be smarter then a man! Next... he insisted my husband's case was awarded in 1984 and when I corrected him that it was 1994 he really got mad saying I was wrong even though the papers were in his hands!! If you are a woman or a man and you value your workers compensation rights I assure you BADER is not the attorney who could help you.

Great helpful lawyer who helped me with my workers Compensation case

I had a workers compensation/mental stress case which I was sure would be very hard to deal with or even win due to the tricky nature of my situation at work. I consulted with Mr. Bader and his 'no case is hard enough' attitude made me feel like there was some hope and that I might get the compensati...on I deserved. With his positive energy and professionalism he managed the impossible and won my case and I will forever be grateful for the hard work he put in! If I ever need legal advice again I know whom I will turn to.

Best workman's comp lawyer

He is so knowledgeable and he goes out of his way for his clients. He explains everything to you so you understand what's best for you. I have recommended him to people and we all love him. His staff Erika is awesome and so well educated and polite to all.

Excellent attorney

Before hiring Jim Bader, I had an attorney that was giving the run around for a year. I decided to have a second option with Jim Bader. My case was stress leave from work. Jim didn't give me the run around he was up front and told me what he could do to help me. I had already been released from medic...al care and Jim helped me settle my case. He's a very knowledgeable attorney and will refer familys and friends to his office. Thank you Jim.
