He failed me in every way possible but charged top dollar. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere

He lied to me from start to finish I would have been off better with a public defender

Jim Divergilis is an excellent attorney and has dedicated his life to helping working families

Jim Divergilis is an excellent attorney and has dedicated his life to helping working families with their needs for legal representation . Im aware of many cases that seemed hopeless and Through Jim s representation each person received fair and equitable results through the judicial system and in m...ost cases settlement in a positive manor. Im aware of cases that he has performed pro bono legal work for persons who could not afford an attorney . I have seen Jim prepare and research cases late at night and on weekends and have visited and defended his clients at all hours and days of the week . He has always made himself available to his clients and his community and makes sure that justice is served in the proper manner. His fees are fair and he gives 100% attention to your case and deals with you on the most professional level but also with understanding and compassion with your situation at hand . He sugar coats nothing but gives you the straight truth and pursues the law in an aggressive but straightforward direction.

Great job

Jim has been my agent and attorney since 1999. He handled contracts and any legal issues. When there was something outside his jurisdiction and specialty, he consulted me to make sure I was taken care of. He even traveled out of state on his own dime to interview attorneys with me in my area. I wou...ld whole heartedly recommend Jim to anyone looking for an honest and caring attorney.

bad experience

i had a bad experience with this lawyer, he tried to keep me in fear the whole time he represented me kept forewarning of how expensive the fee for could get if i wouldn't settle to a lessor fine , then he switched his rate after i won the case. felt like i was playing three card molly with a bunch ...of thugs. i won't report him to the bar at this time but i feel he should do some form of community svc. and take some moral class to teach him to have some respect for any of his future clients regardless of their race.

Replied last August 16, 2013

I gave a full analysis of this case to the client and I gave what I believe in my best opinion was a decision that I would reccommend. However, the client wanted a trial and I did my absolute best in the trial. This included cross examination of the witness that brought out facts that then led to a Not guilty verdict. Also, I was able to get this verdict without offereing the client to testify. I never brought in race or anything of such and this disppoints me.
