James Moore saved my butt with his advice. I took it and after 4 years I realize that if I had not taken his advice my path in life would not have turned out so well. Great attorney!!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to give me a last minute consultation! I have a court case coming up and needed some last minute guidance . James took the time to prioritize my request and explain a strategy and how to use my leverage to my best advantage. It was such a relief!!

Local Lawyer does good
James was referred to me by very experienced paralegal having worked with him for years. James is very knowledgeable about Family Law and puts it in plain English for you and he is very thoughtful and generous with his time. I would recommend him if you are struggling to understand the divorce process like me.

Excellent, Honest, and Reasonably Priced
I hired James to represent me in a contract dispute and - as an attorney myself - I found him to be exceptionally knowledgeable. He got the job done efficiently, treated me well, and never overcharged. Attorneys like Mr. Moore are a rare find, and I happily refer him to my friends and peers. In short, I cannot recommend Mr. Moore enough and I hope to see him become a judge one day.

Skillful, Ethical, and Wins!
Mr. Moore represented me for a personal injury following a dental, bleach injury accident. While confronted with the COVID-19 pandemic; Mr. Moore successfully delivered a favorable settlement, while also avoiding the certain court delays and additional expenses. I particularly appreciated James’ conservative management of expenses and presenting rationales for expenses related to expert witnesses. He regularly and consistently provided case information, competing options including possible risks, which allowed me to make informed decisions. Mr. Moore was always prepared, and I found he commits to empower his clients by preparing them throughout every stage of the case. Should you have the unfortunate need for personal injury representation-James K. Moore is without question the positive choice to make!

James is very nice.
It was pleasant having James as my attorney during my key time of need.
Sadly I currently wish I could afford to hire him again as I need help pursuing the right path.
He is a good guy and I hope he succeeds in his practice.

responsive, honest & knowledgeable
My husband and I consulted with James Moore to discuss a dental malpractice case. We found him to be very responsive, honest and patient with the many questions we had. James gave us so much information and presented our options in a way that was easy to understand. He gave us much needed clarity in how to move forward with our case and meeting with him helped us avoid making some mistakes. As a bonus he is really nice and easy to talk to. We highly recommend him.

Gentle and Compassionate
James is all excellent lawyer who truly cares about his clients. Divorce is stressful and there are times when he would call just to check in on my emotional wellness. It really speaks to his character not just as a lawyer, but as a compassionate human being. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a lawyer who doesn't just see clients as a source of income.

Thorough and Thoughtful
James helped me review an employment agreement last minute and gave me a great overview of what was included, and where I might want to ask for clarification. He gave me a lot of confidence to ask for that clarity and confirmed some things I had on my mind as well. James approached it professionally but gave me a lot of consideration as a person. That might sound like something obvious, but not always expected with a hefty, last minute request. Thank you James.

Great attention to detail.
Mr. James K Moore was employed by me to act as my attorney
I found him to be very knowledgeable concerning the law. He showed much
interest in my case. He was very patient in explaining the different laws to
me, he spent much time with me, and did everything humanly possible to
help me in my case.He reached out to many experts that were familiar with
different aspects of medical malpractice.
I will always be thankful and indebted to him for this.The next time I need the
advice of an Attorney I will definitely hire him to represent me. I would recommend
him highly to handle all legal matters.
