The ONLY Lawyer I would ever recommend!! He is the BEST!!

James has been (and is still) my family law attorney since 1991. Over the past 17 years, he has been exceptional both in and out of court. I have gone through a custody battle, an out of state addoption, a fraudulent child support controversy issue, just to name a few and James protected me and won... each and every time we entered a court room. He was and is always informative and explained matters to me in a way that I could always understand. The first time I had to go to court I was not familiar with court proceedings and was apprehensive and scared. James was very supportive and was able to keep me calm and relaxed. I would and always will trust him in any legal situation and know that I can call on him at any time for competent knowledge and advise. He is also very personable and down to earth. I highly recommend James if you need a really good lawyer!!

Best Family Lawyer Ever!

I HAVE BEEN A CLIENT OF JAMES SOUKUP SINCE 1998. I HAPPENED TO FIND MR. SOUKUP BY ACCIDENT. I NEEDED A LAWYER AND WANTED ONE THAT WAS CLOSE TO THE COURTHOUSE, SO ANY BUSINESS THAT NEEDED TO BE TAKEN CARE OF COULD BE DONE QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY. I WALKED INTO MR. SOUKUP'S OFFICE AND FELT THAT I HAD F...OUND THE RIGHT LAWYER FOR ME. MY DIVORCE WAS A DIFFICULT ONE BUT MR. SOUKUP WAS ABLE TO ANSWER ALL MY QUESTIONS AND MAKE SURE THAT WE RECIEVED FAIR TREATMENT THROUGH OUT THE DIVORCE. I STILL HAVE CONTACT WITH MR. SOUKUP TO KEEP OUR CHILD SUPPORT/VISITATION SCHEDULES UP TO DATE. I HAVE RECOMMENDED MR. SOUKUP MANY TIMES TO MANY PEOPLE OVER THE YEARS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MR. SOUKUP FOR ANY FAMILY CASE MATTERS.

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.
