Instructional and Knowledgeable

Jim was pivotal in guiding me through this gnarly and unfamiliar process of all-things-legal. A timely and succinct response, punctuated by sage advice was reassuring and comforting when my concerns were rampant. I felt heard and accepted, supported and acknowledged. Had my financial circumstances al...igned, I would have easily considered hiring Jim for his expertise, patience, and general goodwill. And local support, of course.

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.
