James A Sturdevant

Hired James to defend me in a fraud case he failed to properly inform me of the value of my suit, I asked multiple times what my case was worth during an out of court settlement so that I could make my own decision when I asked why he wouldn't tell me his response was he didn't think I had the capaci...ty to make my own decision, his first ruff draft low balled me at 75 thousand dollars wow nope your fired and now I sue him

I hired this attorney to help me recover my title from a car dealer that was selling (lemons), charged 500 then more and more, as months past i heard nothing from him. My worse experience is turning my case into a person injury case with a orthodox second contract that sent red flags and last minute ...to file the case made a clear statement of the unethical conduct . I asked for my file and all the research he presume he did and failed to provide it and giving me a bill for 92 hours worked on my case with nothing to show. He was always talking about himself and not focused on my case until the last minute. I had to let him go.

James Sturdevant took my as his client a year ago for some tax debt I had. After a few weeks of working with him I started receiving phone call from the IRS that they were Garnishing my wages. They filed judgements against me in court and emptied my bank account leaving em over drawn. I called Mr Stu...rdevant several times asking for him to call me and let me know what was happening. I never got a call returned. I left messages and even went to his office and and no response. He had no problem cashing my check but did nothing to earn the money, In the end he cost me thousands of dollars for his lack of character. I finally wrote him a letter stating that either he return my money or fix the problem. He exploded on me when I went to his office asking for my file to look at. Told me he would call the cops if I didn't leave immediately. I said all I want to do is look at my file and see where we are at. He again threatened me with the cops and ordered me out of his office. Eventually he returned most of my money that i paid him but I was still out thousands of dollars in penalties from the IRS because he did nothing with my case for 4 months straight. DO NOT USE THIS ATTORNEY!

He sent me a get well letter while I was in the hospital and charged me for it! Then, once I told him his services were no longer needed he continued to pursue my case, charging thousands of dollars. In court he was reprimanded by the Judge repeatedly and then tried to refer me to an attorney in Seat...tle who in turn told me there was no way he would help me and Sturdevant was crazy to think he would. Fortunately I never signed a retainer, but this guy is a money hungry leech who will have you sit in his office while chats on the phone and stares at you blankly saying, "Um" repeatedly and charge $200 an hour.
