The attorney you need

James took over my case after a few other attorneys didn't help me much. James had ongoing support for my questions and concerns and gave great advice. I would recommend James to anyone seeking competent legal counsel. James is honest, personable, and will advocate for you when you need him most.

Extremely compassionate problem solver!

James was like no other attorney I've worked with, and immediately understood the unique situation I was dealing with. He listened and asked crucial questions to better understand how he could help and provided me with the critical steps I needed to take to protect myself without giving in to unfoun...ded claims. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent employment law expert who treats his clients like real people with real problems.

Savior!

This review needed to be written end of last year, and I'm finally sitting down to write it. I have had more than one lawyer in my lifetime for various reasons, so trust me when I tell you this guy is on your side. He was the one who reached out to me on this site after posting a question, and a very... stressful experience. It was a time sensitive situation. He was reassuring, and was able to achieve everything he intended to do, regarding a complicated case of workplace discrimination. Highly recommend!

Genuine advise with a personal touch

I was in a tough spot at work (Tech company in the Bay Area) and was quite desperate for some legal advice. Of the many lawyers I found on Yelp, James made immediate contact and gave me a patient hearing about my concerns and provided me with genuine advise. All of other lawyers I reached out to firs...t wanted me to fill out a detailed in-take document with all of my personal details, the most important being my salary. James was the only one who was genuinely interested in knowing about my problem. The setup was very professional with online docu-sign, getting a contract in place was very easy. Throughout the process I felt I could trust James to give me the advice and course of action that was best suited for me personally. The issue at my workplace was resolved in my favor and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I sincerely thank James for all the help and I hope my review will light the way for others looking for help with their troubles.

Highly recommend

I was in search of a lawyer who worked in employment law and James contacted me right away. He made me feel heard and gave me some really sound advice on how to handle the issues I was facing. Taking the steps and language he suggested showed I was serious to my employer. The worst thing that happene...d to me through this whole ordeal was that I felt alone and lost hope. James was there for me and his expertise and knowledge gave me the courage to move forward. I spoke with many other lawyers but none came close to James, I highly recommend him.

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.
