James Charles Husen

My hiring of Jim Husen to represent me when my divorce attorney became ill turned out to be a big mistake. When it came time to negotiate a settlement, Mr. Husen "negotiated" by telling me what was fair regarding a particular issue, then proposing that to opposing counsel, who would say, No we won't... agree to that. And he would say OK. The settlement document, which he wrote, was (according to other attorneys) poorly written. All I know is that when I fired him and hired another attorney, my new attorney had to clean up the mess, including filing a motion to address issues that were completely absent and unaddressed in the settlement. Even if these items are taken care of, the settlement was still very unfair to me, and I would NEVER recommend Mr. Husen to anyone.

This attorney represented me in my divorce. During trial he did a great job but DIDN'T follow up by submitting a judgment to the court for what I won. As a result, the consecutive judge ignored the ruling and I lost everything. Talks the talk but doesn't follow through. He took all my money and dropp...ed me when I could no longer afford him. Went pro-per afterward. When I first consulted with him, he promised the moon but didn't deliver! He didn't put together a game-plan and was reactive during the divorce, not proactive. When I knew something was going to happen, he would just say we had 30 days to respond. His office does not follow through with important things, he will suggest an expensive consultant to hire- for example, forensic accountants, cpa's, forensic computer experts, etc. Unnecessary when there's already plenty of evidence to work with. My files were also extremely unorganized when I got them- took me a month to get them in order. This attorney was so bad, I'm financially ruined between him and my ex husband. Because he was so negligent in not submitting the judgment to the court, the case dragged on and is now in it's 5th year with no end in sight.

I have hired several attorneys in my life and I found my experience with Mr. Husen to be the best yet. He consulted me on my case and after a long discussion, he presented an approach to my case that never occurred to me. I felt at our first meeting, he spent a good amount of time in hearing my pro...blem. Other attorneys just want to get you to sign up immediately or get you out of the office. I never felt that way with Mr. Husen. He presented my case to the Riverside Superior Court and to my surprise and elation, the Judge hearing my case ruled in my favor! I was so please with his efficiency, attention and most of all, COST. He was very reasonable! I am going to recommend him to everyone I know.
