Worked a miracle for me

Great lawyer, he communicated clearly with me as the case progressed and made the whole nightmare as painless as possible for me. James’ determination, professionalism, and ability saved me from a lot of pain and trouble. He did a real stand up job for me, both times that I needed him! I would adv...ise anyone in legal trouble to call him. If I ever find myself in trouble again, I know who to call!

Five out of 5 stars! Great job!

I cannot say enough good things about Mr. Siegrist. I would recommend him to anyone, any time. I got involved in a scary situation where I was facing a felony due to an argument that got out of hand with a family member. I had no prior contact with the police in my life (outside of one speeding tick...et!) and didn't even know who to call or what to do. Not only was he knowledgeable and professional, but he really understood the system, and I feel like he treated me the way he would have treated a friend, if they had found themselves in my circumstances. He was amazing! He really explained things to me and was with me every step of the way. He kept me as from freaking out and convinced me that it was his job to worry, not mine. He really went above and beyond what he needed to do and things worked out really well for me in the end. James will be the first person I will go back to if I ever find myself in trouble again. Five out of 5 stars!

Very Responsive and Helpful

Mr. Siegrist is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He was able to provide me clear and timely advice on multiple occasions. He is responsive, and always answers my calls, emails, and texts quickly. He expresses a genuine concern for my issues, and I will use him again in the future.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
