James J Thorpe Jr.

James Thorpe handled my personal injury case after I was a passenger in a terrible car accident. My case was a difficult one from the start, because I live in Florida, but was in the accident in Virginia. Instead of shying away from this, Thorpe appropriated the proper channels to ensure he could l...egally handle my case. Thorpe was very thorough and patient with me and my plethora of questions. As well, he really took time to understand the pain that I was in, and it was quite impressive how much he knew about the medical side of my injury! It was clear Thorpe had experience, knowledge, and had done his research! He went above and beyond in every aspect of my case, and really took the time out to educate me as the case progressed. He was reliable with constant communication on a regular basis (and he answered his emails personally!). Even if there hadn't been any real updates in the case, Thorpe took time out of his week to contact me, checking in on my healing progress. One of the biggest reasons I chose to hire a lawyer was because it became very overwhelming, very quickly, trying to keep up with paperwork and insurance phone calls, and doctors, and such. Thorpe took ALL of this out of my hands. All I had to do was focus on my healing, while he and his office staff took care of the rest! Ultimately, I was highly impressed with Thorpe's diligence and dedication to his profession. Beyond that, his compassion for what I was going through and his reliability made me feel comfortable. I trusted him from the start, and all he did was continuously impress me! His office staff was also always friendly and on top of things. Overall, this was truly a superb experience. Because I was able to focus on my healing, while Thorpe got me a chunky settlement check, I made medical progress that my doctor said he had never seen before. I have Thorpe and his associates to thank for allowing me the opportunity to spend my time and energy on healing, not dealing with all of the other stuff that comes with insurance claims! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!

I was fortunate to find Mr. Thorpe while conducting an online search under the Florida Bar Association. From our first meeting, I trusted Mr. Thorpe was going to handle my concern with professionalism and knowledge. He conducted the research needed to move forward and kept me apprised at every step. ... I especially appreciated the way he consulted with me to ensure my satisfaction. I definitely recommend Mr. Thorpe and would not hesitate to retain his services again should a future legal concern arise.

I retained Jim to assist me with a few issues on my Bar application and to represent me at my Investigative Hearing before the Board of Bar Examiners. In preparing answers to the Board's written questions, Jim's knowledge and experience was invaluable to ensure that I properly answered the Board's in...quiries. As the Investigative Hearing approached, Jim went out of his way to ensure that I was fully prepared not only substantively but also emotionally and mentally. Prior to the Investigative Hearing, Jim conducted a mock hearing which proved to be significantly more intense than the actual hearing; this mock hearing made me not only more prepared but more comfortable during the actual hearing. Without Jim's knowledge and assistance, I truly believe I would not have received as positive of an outcome as I did. I would highly recommend Jim for any legal issue.

Jim was recommended to me by a friend. I had just moved to FL and had received numerous traffic citations. Jim was efficient, friendly, timely, and professional! He was even willing to come to my home! I ended up with no points, no traffic school, no fines, and a dismissal. I did not have to miss any... work. He made the process easy with ongoing communication through telephone, email, fax/scanner. I would definitely recommend his services!

Mr. Jim Thorpe took over my case mid-stream when it was determined that my local law firm, for professional reasons, could not continue as the lead chair in the case. They continued as second chair, but Mr. Thorpe took over as the lead handling all filings, negotiations, phone calls, etc. Throughout ...the time I have worked with him, I have consistently found him to be very responsive to me, often responding to my calls or emails within just a matter of hours, sometimes minutes! He has shown himself to be a skilled and gifted negotiator, having the ability to put on the insurance-negotiator hat with as much aplomb and deftness as he was able to handle the opposing attorney negotiations. He has unfailingly answered all of my questions, been completely honest with me when I have asked for his candid legal opinion on a point, and has shown a willingness to take my case as far as I wished to take it. I deeply appreciate his time, his expertise, and his excellent abilities in handling my case. I honestly do not know if the outcome would have been so positive for me were it not for his outstanding performance in his role as my attorney.
