Money grubber

Retained this attorney little more than 2yrs ago to finalize my simple divorce. The reason I have hired James was that he told me it would be fairly simple case and the amount my ex wife was asking was too much, he could give me a better bargain. He treated my ex in such a disrespectful way in the c...ourt that there was no way for negotiation. Finally I contacted my ex wife and offered her a settlement and she quickly accepted that offer.Looks like this attorney's office is only good at making excuses to keep your conflicts on going. I consider this kind of service outrageous, misleading and not in client's interest. He speaks out of content and it is actually bizarre. I can only say stay away if you need custody help.

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.
