"I have had Jim as an opposing counsel on several wage and hour cases. He is a fair and zealous advocate for his clients and is knowledgeable about the law. I've referred a number of potential clients to Jim and have received positive feedback regarding his abilities. The fact that he speaks Spanish is a definite asset to his practice."
"I endorse this lawyer. I represented several employers in cases brought by Mr. Dal Bon, and have found him to be a zealous and knowledgeable advocate for his clients. I can recommend James for his ablilty, vigilence and demeanor, as well as his ability to cut through to the core of a case to speed recovery for his clients. He also is well respected in the legal community and I am proud to view James as a professional colleague."
"I endorse this lawyer. James is well known in the legal community as an effective advocate for his clients."
