Posted by Jim & Ginger | October 20, 2010

We never thought we could really LIKE an attorney.....

Jim Delapoer ended up with our first case when another attorney in the firm moved out of the area. That was over 10 years ago and looking back - we're so glad the other guy moved. Since then, Jim has handled several more cases for us and we couldn't be more pleased with him. He went out of his way to... research the grass seed industry and be fully informed on the unique practices of our business. He kept us informed on the proceedings of our case - even when he was on vacation. He was very professional and yet treated us as friends. We genuinely like Jim Delapoer as a friend and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others.

Avvo Rating

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.
