Handled Living Trust and Divorce with helpful insight and professionalism.

I used James and his law firm on two separate occasions, a living trust which involved my mother and my divorce. Neither occasion was simple but James handled both with helpful insight and guided me to the correct answers through thoughtful questions. Not once did I feel he was just suggesting things... to make the process move quicker or easier on his law firm to execute. Both times I left his office feeling as though things were handled fairly and correctly. Whatever legal issue I may have in the future, I will definitely consult with James first to see if his firm can take it on. I have a high degree of trust and faith in his competence to handle any legal issue after his work on my living trust and divorce.

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.
