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.

I am surprised at the terrible reviews. I had a collection agency hounding me for $5000. for a credit card I never owned. Jim competently represented me in court and we also received court costs. I have nothing ill to say about the guy. I later recommended him to another guy who was actually guil...ty of credit card debt, and Jim succeeded in helping him too.

I was charged for work outside our agreement and he dragged me through a long, ugly, trial in an attempt to force me to pay. He also submitted over a hundred pages of my confidential financial documents to the court, without redacting any of the confidential information that was included. He could h...ave asked the court to protect the documents, or he could have blacked out the sensitive information, but he didn't and now I am a repeat victim of criminal identity theft. Oh, and if you do win your case against him, don't expect him to pay the court ordered judgment.

This attorney did not have a signed agreement yet and still billed while he was trying to figure out whether or not he could even handle my case. I did some research and found that my area of law that I needed help with was not an area that he practiced in. I told him that I would not be signing th...e contract to hire him. AND HE STILL BILLED ME!!! Don't call him because he will bill you!!
