James Charles Haigh's Lawyer Endorsements
"I have worked with Jim on various committees. I have seen him speak on insurance law at a statewide legal seminar. He is genuine, friendly, and knows how to get the best possible result for his clients. I endorse this lawyer's work."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I recently worked on a case with Jim. He was extremely diligent in his work and highly ethical in his approach to legal representation. He demonstrated to me an aggressive and balanced approach to dealing with the opposing party. He also showed empathy and excellent communication skills with our mutual client. I have referred cases to Jim, this is the highest endorsement I can give another attorney."
