Jim Ogorchock Review

In my case, what I needed was someone who was knowledgeable and direct, but also empathetic. Jim delivered beyond expectations on all counts. He acted swiftly and confidently on my behalf. It gave me tremendous peace of mind to have Jim in my corner, and I would recommend him without reservation.

Recommendation

Jim Ogorchock represented me during my recent divorce. He thoroughly researched my case and was prepared at all times. He was particularly helpful when my ex spouse made inaccurate and damaging statements. He was able to immediately provide facts to the judge to prove the falsity of these statements.... In addition to being fully prepared, he remained supportive and professional at all times. While I was very frustrated or emotional at times and consequently introduced concerns that were not always relevant, Jim recognized the intensity of my anxiety and was calming and redirective. Jim has continued to be available on an as needed basis for consultation

Outstanding attorney

Atty. Ogorchock has every quality that one might desire in an attorney: personable, compassionate, practical, efficient, exceedingly well-versed in his fields of particular expertise, respected (if not feared) by opposing attorneys for his attention to detail and perseverance on behalf of his client.... He never, ever runs up unnecessary billable hours following inappropriate or blind alleys of reasoning. Above all, he is fair and honest.

Excellent divorce attorney

Jim is an excellent attorney--highly intelligent and extremely detail-oriented. I really felt like he was on top of all matters with my case. My only complaint is that he didn't always get back to me as quickly as I would have liked. Bottom line--he's an excellent attorney and definitely one you'd... rather have on *your* side of the table rather than on the opposing side. I would recommend Jim without hesitation.

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.
