4 Thumbs Up!

James is an incredibly intelligent and hardworking attorney. After presenting him with a difficult case, I am more than satisfied at the settlement that was reached. He is thorough, organized, and it becomes apparent immediately after speaking/meeting with him that he is a master of his craft. I woul...d most definitely recommend James to anyone needing legal assistance in the area of employment law.

Non-Compete Help

I recently left my former employer to start my own company. Unfortunately, my former employer wasn't so happy with my decision and threatened a suit for Non-Compete and Trade Secrets. With James' help we were able to shoot down their claims and document a potential countersuit. He was very helpf...ul and very reasonable with the hours charged. I would definitely use his services again! Thanks James!

Knowledgeable, responsive and helped me fight back!

James did an excellent job with my employment litigation. He helped me fight back and obtained a much better outcome than I expected. He's very knowledgeable (read his online articles and find out for yourself) and a skilled negotiator. During the initial consultation, he was able to dissect my ca...se and give me solid suggestions I haven’t heard of before. He’s approachable and easy to talk to. I feel fortunate to have found a good guy like James on my side. I highly recommend him.

  • 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.
