Client

Choosing James to handle my case was the best decision I made. He fought for me for 5 years through a nightmare of a Divorce and Child Custody battle. His honesty and transparency and professionalism is very much appreciated. Without a shadow of a doubt, I would call James again and again if I had to....

James was forthright from the beginning about my chances and because of his honesty, I decided to move forward with my case which was decided in my favor and closed same day. James' professionalism all the way through was unwaivering and he even put the finishing touch on my case for me. I highly r...ecommend James for his services should you need a lawyer.

Highly recommended for divorce

I went through a three-year, contentious divorce. I was constantly being served with requests for documentation, etc. that had been filed many times before. I was going broke and getting no closer to closure. That is, until I switched to James Steinle. James took a very serious, professional appr...oach to my situation. He worked incessantly for me, keeping my needs and wishes in mind throughout. I always felt I had a personal advocate throughout the proceedings. He ultimately got me a very fair settlement, avoiding the final expenses of a draw-out final appearance. I trust James implicitly. He was thoroughly knowledgeable, kept focus, kept me informed, helped me understand, and took a strong professional interest in my case. You'd be hard pressed to find a better representative in the Bay Area.

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.
