The Real Daniel

I am Mr. Webster's client named Daniel and I have always been very satisfied with him. Mr. Webster is an honest councilman, a value not only sought after by the client but highly respected by the city. Whenever I call or come into the office I always feel welcome and treated with the utmost respect f...rom Jim and his assistant Laurie :)

Look no further

We came to James Webster with what I feel were a no win felony charges. At first I thought this case would ruin my chances to own my fathers business and also ruin my chances to be a licensed plumbing contractor and I had a lot of fear. Webster got the felony charges dropped and got me a misdemeanor ...charge that I was thankful for my family and I are happy with this attorney and feel we got the best results for our money

Smart Guy!

Jim Webster took my case after other attorneys turned me away. He has so much knowledge and was able to get all my charges dropped! If you find yourself in trouble and you honestly were wronged, he can help!

Timely service, minimal cost

Mr. Webster has kept me apprised of all actions regarding my cases and alleviated stress when I needed it most. There were no hidden costs and he always treated me fair, without taking up too much of my time. All outcomes have been favorable and he is a true professional.

Still thankful

He's the BEST! Throughout my case he made me feel secure and VERY informed; never did I doubt him and always felt like him and I were on the same page. If I were to ever commit a crime again, hes the man I would go to... ;)

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.
