Excellent Lawyer!

James F. Gray is a lifesaver! During the recession I worked for a company that promised big rewards but found excuses for not paying wages which were agreed upon in a poorly written contract. After leaving in frustration, I contacted Mr. Gray who took my case after two other attorneys turned me dow...n. I had no idea who Mr. Gray was but he quickly cut to the chase during our initial consultation and took copious notes. From the outset, he explained this case would take a long time to resolve but he was willing to do what he could to help my family recover unpaid wages. Over the following months, Mr. Gray kept me informed how the case was progressing and asked many questions that I never would have thought to ask. We worked together gathering information. He explained legal precedence and crucial past cases in a way a non-legal professional can understand. He was very patient yet he never took more time that necessary to explain a point. When we finally resolved the case in mediation, he was thoroughly prepared with stacks of information and seemed to anticipate the defense's objections as they came our way. After a while, the defense ran out of steam. My case was settled to me and my family's satisfaction. While I hope I never need Mr. Gray's services in the future. If I do, he'll be the first call I make.

"I have known Jim since 1995. I have the highest regard for his legal skills, knowledge, practical experience and even his sense of humor. I have been practicing employment law since 1979. I frequently refer potential clients to Jim when I am unable to handle their case or when I think Jim's experience is a better fit. If you are looking for a lawyer to help you with an employment issue, I strongly recommend James Gray."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
