Dedicated Attorney

I would very highly recomment Jim Forerst to anyone needing an attorney. I had the pleasure of meeting him several months ago when I called for a consultation. That free half hour consultation turned into a two hour meeting. He is extremely knowledgeable. He was understanding and compassionate regard...ing my situation, and took the time to explain his advice to me. My immediate thought upon leaving his office was "I trust this man." Mr. Foerst is a dedicated attorney with a passion for his work. I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation.

Jim Foest, MY attorney

I've been working with Jim now for several years and I have always been extremely pleased with his responsiveness, his knowledge and caring and understanding in dealing with my sensitive situations. I highly recommend Jim to business associates, family and friends.

Jim is one of the most responsive and fair attorney's I have dealt with. Being in the insurance business I interact with attorney's on estate, tax, real estate and several business issues. He makes a point to clearly understand a clients needs and explains their options and exposure in an easy and ...understanding way. He is very knowledgeable in real estate law and makes the purchase of a home and the closing process easy and affordable.

Real Estate Transaction

Has handled numerous real estate transactions. James was always available to speak with me and iron out details from attorney review to home inspection issues. Exceptional response time and very thorough and effective.

One of the Good Guys

Jim was candid in discussing our situation, helped us set reasonable expectations, and then worked to mementoes these expectations were met. Communication was frequent and detailed.
