James B Pizl

Attorney Jim Pizl is straight forward, easy to understand, cost efficient, and most importantly, highly effective with respect to the objective in which he is set forth to achieve. Lastly, he doubles as a quasi-psychologist and keeps you positive about the potential outcome all the way through the pr...ocess - which admittedly - is equally needed. 10 stars for Attorney Jim Pizl who will tackle both the small and the large global firms on your behalf. I would work with him again, if needed, and would refer him to anyone else who has been treated with suspect behavior by an employer. He is responsive, outstanding and effective!

James is one of those few lawyers that actually cares about his clients. Before I even officially hired him, he was the first to reply to me with legal advice. Originally my employer had not paid me two weeks worth of work and I wasn't even sure if this was a case worth pursuing knowing how much lega...l fees were. Well after contacting James, he let me know that he would take my case on a contingent basis, meaning I wouldn't pay a penny unless he won. He also let me know that what they did was completely illegal and that he was confident that he would win if the case went to court. Long story short we didn't have to go to court. James was so efficent that after just a couple of emails, I ended up recieving the full amount owed to me in less than a week. If ever need any legal help this is your guy. Once you get to know him, you'll know he doesn't just care about the money, but also helping people. Specially those who need it most.

I felt that I was wrongfully terminated. I’ve never needed an attorney before and didn’t know the first steps. Someone told me about Avvo. I was so fortunate to find Jim. He spent about an hour during our consultation. He was so helpful and very informative. I hired him and he went to work on my case.... He discovered that I hadn’t been paid correctly. I worked on commission and was required to work 10 hour days. There were many days, over the 4 years I worked there, I didn’t get paid minimum wage. Jim discovered I had been cheated out of thousands of dollars. Turns out that the wage violations were a bigger part of my case than the wrongful termination. Jim’s knowledge of employment law is very impressive. His expertise is even more enhanced because he’s a CPA. He’s extremely intelligent and personable as well. He always made me feel like I was his only client. Even though he was very busy, he was always quick to respond to my texts. We went to mediation and my case was settled. I can’t thank him enough. You’re in great hands with Jim handling your case. He truly cares about helping his clients.

I also was very fortunate to have found Jim via search on Avvo! I got unfairly and rudely/suddenly hosed by the rich, arrogant, jerk owner of the small business I was working for. I wasn't sure whether or not a lawyer could help so I did a few searches on Avvo. Jim's name popped up as an employment ...lawyer and he had great reviews so I reached out to him. He is very responsive and a great communicator. He took my matter seriously, was upfront/transparent and went to work. And I ended up getting a settlement I was happy with and was more than I was expecting when I initially contacted him. Well done, Jim, thank you! And hopefully I won't need to contact him again. But if I do, I won't hesitate to call on Jim for his help!
