James Elliott Gingrich

This is in response about a review that a so called 'friend' made giving James Gingrich a 1 star rating. I was the driver of the truck that this 'friend' was my passenger. Well, my insurance company didn't really have my back and the other drivers insurance was just lame. So I called my longtime frie...nd Attorney Micheal Erpino at Chico Lawyers and he referred me to Attorney James Gingrich. We talked and James went to bat for me. It took a little time - probably because he had to deal with my passenger. But I ended up with a settlement that was more than I expected. I'm giving James Gingrich 5 stars. He's a good person and he keeps it real. If I ever get into another situation, I'm calling James. So please disregard my passenger 'friend' 1 star rating. She's a crybaby, exaggerates, and is not really a people person. 5 solid stars, James.

Was the passenger in a friend's vehicle and we got into an accident so I needed a lawyer but had contacted a few just for them to tell me that I didn't really have a case. My friend called Chico Lawyers Group and got James who said he'd help my friend and asked iif there was anyone else in the acci...dent. My friend told him yeah and gave James my number. So he contacted me and told me right off the bat that he could for sure at least get me the $10,000 uninsured motorist money from my friends insurance. Well I went to the doc and they sent me to physical therapy for an injury to my neck and back but apparently I didn't get enough treatment because the nect time that we spoke, James and myself, he told me that if I didn't go back to the doctor and get more treatment he couldn't help me after all and that without more treatment my case was now a waste of his time and not worth the effort! So I guess he just straight up lied to me in our first conversation. He only wants to help me if I do a a bunch of extra stuff so he'll get a better pay day not me. He's only worried about me insofar as I bring him medical bills. So even though I got injured it wasn't injured enough in his opinion. He also tried to get my friend to go see his personal chiropractortio ratchet up his claim when my friend basically had no injuries at all just needed he truck replaced which still hasn't happened 9 months later! And the other insurance company admitted fault so there shouldn't be any type of delay in them responding to offers but still nothing! Like I said he's a total joke!!! Gp somewhere else, run!!!!! He's not gonna help you unless it's a guaranteed big payout. Otherwise he'll tell you that you're a waste of his time!!! Super good customer service skills for sure, NOT!!!!

I recently found myself in a situation where I needed some legal help and guidance. I called around to several law offices in Chico. Each office I called immediately put me on hold and each time I began to explain my situation would interrupt me and place me on hold. When I finally did get to spea...k with an attorney he spent more time interrupting and trying to impress me with his intellectual prowess than listen to me. I saw the big billboard on The Esplanade for Chico Lawyers and decided to try them. SO glad I did! From the moment Joanne answered the phone she was respectful, courteous and listened to what I said and needed. She then connected me with James Gingrich the attorney she felt would best fit my particular situation. I had a conversation with James. He was very respectful, asked pertinent questions and then set a time to meet with me face to face. When I arrived for my appointment with James he was ready and prepared – having done some preliminary research based on our initial conversation. I was able to go into more detail as to what I felt I needed and he was able to provide the legal bases, opinion and merits of my case. He had even spoken to one of the other attorneys in their office to get a second opinion. He laid out a very clear plan and how he could assist me. He quoted me a flat fee and what type of legal services he would provide for that fee. It was an extremely reasonable fee. From the beginning to conclusion of my case James preformed exactly as he had promised and in my opinion even went beyond. I never once felt he was trying to “nickle and dime” me and increase his fees. In fact I even paid him extra because he provided a few extra services outside the prevue of our original agreement and never even ask for additional fees. I told James that while I hope to never have to engage his services again if I ever do – he is my guy. I am telling ALL my family and friends that if you need any type of legal services – Better Get Gingrich! I am so glad I Got Gingrich. Sincerely, Lance W.
