Excellent Attorney!

Straight to the point, no frills, explained the expectations, and costs. I could not ask for any better. Outcome was greater than expected. Highly recommended!!!

traffic ticket

Mr. Borden was appointed through LegalShield to represent me regarding my traffic ticket. When I contacted him, he explained his role, what to expect, and reassured me about representing my case in court. When my case was closed, I received a letter from Mr. Borden explaining the outcome which was ex...actly what he had told me before my court date. I want to thank Mr. Borden for his time and professionalism.

Review

James has helped me with a few cases over the years with speeding tickets, as well as advice. He has always kept me well informed on each case. I was impressed with his communication and how well he responded to my phone calls. James went above and beyond with each of my cases. I have never been diss...atisfied!

Avvo Rating

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.
