James David Stensel

James was a beacon in the storm. I hired James to represent me in my divorce. He helped me through some extremely rough times dealing with my wife who was out to try to bury me with her aggressive attorney. James was calm, rational, and organized and helped keep things reasonable and under control. H...e often predicted what my wife’s attorney would do and was ready the push back every time. He stayed focused on resolving my case and did his best to keep the cost down whenever possible. He was also glad to explain everything to me along the way and he was always available to answer my questions (including weekends). I was fortunate to find James and have him in my case and highly recommend him if you find yourself needing a competent and skilled attorney in a divorce case.

James Stensel aptly assisted me with my divorce. He clearly explained the law and my rights and answered all of my questions along the way. He helped deal with an attorney on the other side that prepared sloppy documents that were full of mistakes regarding what we owned and what I was awarded. He cl...eaned up that attorney’s mess and made sure that my final divorce documents were clear and concise. In addition to the task at hand, he also focused on ensuring that our agreements foreclosed on my ex-spouse’s ability to come back later and try to take more. I was pleased with James’ work on my case and would certainly recommend him to others

Having been presented with a proposed Parenting Plan and Child Support Order thirteen years after getting divorced in another country there were many issues to be resolved. I retained James for advice and assistance in the drafting of a counter-proposal with the intent of reaching a settlement. Jam...es provided clear counsel, which allowed me to focus on the salient points, and was concise in answering all my questions. In the end, I was very satisfied with how the matter was resolved, and can point to James' contributions as the major factor in achieving this success.

I engaged James to represent me in a marital dissolution. The process was an unknown and scary prospect, but James was very knowledgeable and managed to distill down the complicated and confusing elements and provide straightforward, honest advice and direction. He was attentive and extremely respo...nsive as he helped me navigate the process, always patient as he answered questions and allayed concerns. James was an incredible strategist, able to digest the particulars of a situation and quickly provide realistic courses of action along with likely outcomes, allowing me to feel confident and assured about the direction of my case. James was able to maintain the incredibly difficult balance of being an assertive advocate for me while keeping the process civil with the opposing party. He genuinely cared about me and worked very hard to bring about the best result possible. I have confidently referred him to others and would not hesitate to hire him again in the future.

I hired James to represent me in a divorce proceeding last year. I was residing outside of the country at the time of the proceeding. James and his assistant Becca accommodated the time change throughout and provided me with excellent attorney work filled with professionalism and objectivity. I’d... highly recommend him to anyone seeking good family law practice.
