This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Sage advice from a skilled negotiator

Mature, measured and wise are three words I would attach to Jim. I have worked with him over the past three months in the satisfactory resolution of an internal business dispute. Not only was the matter dealt with 100%, but I also learned some very valuable lessons from Jim about the negotiation pr...ocess. I will be putting his guidance and advice to use in the future. Fully recommended.

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.
