Recommended Lawyer

James represented us after our car was hit by an uninsured driver, causing injuries as well as missed work. James gets results, and has been responsive to our questions. Highly recommended.

Highly Recommended Attorney

He defended me through the duration of a very questionable lawsuit. If I ever need a lawyer again I'd call him first. He was great and obtained an awesome result.

Real Estate Agent

I was very happy with JIm how he kept me infomred of the process and I felt he was very honest and made me feel comfortable was looking out for me, which was important since this was the first time I was involved with anything like it.

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.
