Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer. I have known Jim Bader as a colleague and friend for over 20 years. Jim's work ethic, character, integrity and dedication to the practice of law and his clients are second to none. Jim is always available for his clients and provides a personal relationship with each and every one of his clients, which is often overlooked by many attorneys.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
James Bader and I have been opposing each other occasionally for at least 15 years. He is always looking out for his client, and knows what his case is worth so that unnecessary Trials can be avoided. I would recommend Mr. Bader to someone with a WC case in the Pomona venue.
