Bicycling Motor Vehicle Incident

James and Natalie went above and beyond the handle my personal injury claim. Even though it was a relatively low profile case for the firm, they dedicated that time and effort to reach the best possible settlement. It was always a pleasure working the Spector Foerst team and I would happily recommend... them to friends and family.

Excellent Home Purchase Experience

I used Jim Foerst for my home purchase. It was not an easy transaction as the sellers were handling their family estate, and emotions were running high. It was a neglected property and the home inspection summary had no less than 100 items that needed to be addressed. Jim was tough when warranted, ye...t cool and collected when dealing with me. His excellent guidance and advise were integral in keeping this deal together. I trust him implicitly and recommend him without reservation.

Very Satisfied

I recently retained Mr. Foerst for a case and I couldn't be happier. His attention to detail and the way in which his firm responded to my every need was second to none. I never felt as though my case wasn't important and he would return phone calls in a timely manner. I was very nervous and anxious ...about details of my case and Mr. Foerst always put my mind at ease. I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Foerst and his firm to family and friends.

Municipal Court

Jim, and Tim; Thank you for all your help on and around the July 28th court date. Tim, your professionalism and approach was especially appreciated and thank you for the favorable result in your communication with the prosecutor. And Jim, I appreciate you agreeing to work with me and for your suppo...rt throughout the process. In the event anyone that I know on a personal or professional level would stand to benefit from professional and well-prepared firm, you gentlemen would be at the top of my list. Thanks again and hope you both have a fantastic remainder of the summer and beyond. Sincerely, Sam S

After the accident I called Jim Foerst

I used Jim Foerst for a Real Estate closing before and was very pleased with his professionalism. After I had been rear ended at a traffic light and was injured, I called Jim again for his expertise. He advised me and helped me navigate through the insurance claims processes and got the claim settled... for me. I now consider Jim Foerst to be my family attorney and recommend him highly.

  • 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.
