A great Lawyer and a great person.

Jim is a knowledgeable and experienced attorney. I had a serious matter in which my ex was trying to lie about me and take my daughter away. I had seen other attorneys but none of them made me feel at ease like Jim. I hired him immediately and he made a fool of her in court. I currently have every we...ekend with my daughter and possibly more once my case is finished. He is an excellent attorney and I highly recommend him and I will keep using him for all my family legal matters.

good lawyer

I used another 2 attorneys before I retained James. I also consulted with a lot of attorneys regarding my divorce. James is the best. He is a very responsible, caring, knowledgeable. I went to court with James 3 times during my divorce process, and everytime I got what I wanted. The Guardian ad Litem... recommended 50/50 parenting plan, some attorneys I went to see advised me that it is impossible to challenge since the GAL has good reputation but James made it happen, he got me primary custody of my daughter. I also got a lot more than what I expected on financial. I can not thank James enough.

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!!
