James Alan Greer

Mr Greer was enthusiastically helpful to me and provided several actionable tasks to provide forward traction with my case. He clearly has much experience with large , multi-unit complexes, HOAs, construction law and practices as well as keen insight into human nature and it’s foibles. I was flummoxe...d at the start of our conversation and left it feeling much more confident and assured.

A subcontractor put a lien on my house because of a dispute after the original contractor I hired went bankrupt. Not knowing the legal terms and receiving a threatening letter from a lawyer with large dollar amounts in it and then papers from the court, I was about ready give up. James talked with... me on an initial phone consultation and immediately made me feel less threatened by the situation. He worked with me and provided support at each step of the process with crystal clear transparency of his communications with the opposing party. Every question I emailed him was answered faster than I would expect (many within minutes) and with assertive professional verbiage that required no further explanation. James understood my lack of knowledge on the matter and gave me the comfort I needed by showing what was going on at any given time and what to expect in the near future. He went above and beyond the resolution of the issue at hand with his help for me to properly open a claim against the bond of the original contractor. The dark cloud has lifted and I can breathe easier now. I highly recommend his services for matters similar to mine.

I hired him to evaluate the HOA CC&R's and problem with the neighbor. he said he will call me to understand the case and review the CC&R's. he never called me,he did not read the Cc&R's. He send me an recommendation that did not even address the problem I had initially called him for. He said I can a...sk him any question regarding his recommendation for free. When I emailed him my questions. he asked me to send him another $500. he did not return the answeres to my questions. I was more lost and confused and had more question than before I had called him. His never understood the case and never addressed the issue I had contacted him for

My wife and I were having an issue with some former buyers of our house who decided not to go through with the sale and the house fell out of escrow (as was their right). The former buyers then came to us to try and recoup inspection fees, appraisal fees etc...and threatened us with a small claims c...ourt action. We contacted Jim, had a wonderful conversation which lasted well beyond the 15 minutes contracted and he advised us on a course of action. We hired him on the spot and within 3 hours Jim had seen, read, and absorbed all the materials we needed him to see and then he delivered a letter to the former buyers that was so on point both legally and morally that my wife and i are still stunned at its accuracy This guy is the real deal. We could not be more pleased with Jim and recommend him to anyone having any type of real estate issue.

I'm a homeowner who was defrauded by a general contractor. I saw James Greer's online response to another homeowner who had a similar situation so I decided to call James for advice. I ended up deciding not to pursue any legal action against the contractor but was very impressed with James' knowledge... and experience in this area of law. I previously discussed my case with numerous construction law attorneys but none of them were able to give me a clearer picture of all the legal issues, California statutes and case law at issue (I am an attorney myself but I don't practice construction litigation). More importantly, James Greer was able to provide me with many practical options to seek financial compensation from the contractor other than resorting to legal actions and he was very knowledgeable about the operation of California contractor' license board and bond companies. Lastly, he was giving me free legal advice extremely patiently. You can sense this is someone who cares. I already recommended him to my friend who has a similar claim against the same contractor!
