Your first attorney conversation should be with James C. Suits II

I was in a vehicle accident where the defendant drove his vehicle into the back of mine. The attorneys I contacted wouldn’t represent me because my vehicle wasn’t’ crushed in the accident and I wasn’t’ in a body cast. No attorney would take my case. Except for James C. Suits II. James took on my case..., represented me and in a partnership like fashion and stayed on with me for three years, till we satisfactorily resolved our case. I say “we” because James always presented me the outcomes, scenarios, but the final decision was always mine. James was my beacon of hope at a time when my options appeared limited. I was out of state after the accident which made parts of the case challenging. As our case moved along the three years, our phone conversations felt more like family, that James C. Suits II “was protecting me and my best interest”. James worked diligently behind the scenes defending me, and in his calm and empathetic demeanor offered me emotional support. I am eternally grateful for James C. Suits II service and I hereby recommend Mr. James C. Suits II without reservation. James was awesome to work with, we have never met in person (I will one day meet James in person and shake his hand). It was from our first phone conversation that I knew I could trust James C. Suits with my case, and my best interest. Above all else, give James C. Suits II your first call in your search for an attorney. I promise you all your other attorney conversations won’t measure up too or feel like the conversation you just had with attorney James C. Suits II.

An attorney with Integrity, who's also very Reliable & Flexible

Jim did an excellent job on my case, which is a rather small & compromised case, since I have pre-existing condition. Jim was able to get my recovery settlement more than what I expected. What blew me away was when I offered to compensate him 5% more than our agreed fee, Jim was very turned it do...wn, saying he's fine with what we agreed. Wow! I was very surprised. Thought nobody would refuse more money. Hat off to you, Jim!

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.
