Above and Beyond

Several years ago while at work I sustained a back injury that left me in so much pain that it affected every aspect of my daily life. Mr. Maggs and his team represented me in this Workmen's comp. case. His first priority was my well-being not rushing me through the court system just to get a payout.... When the time came to go to court his suggestion on leaving the case open just in case the procedures I have had thus far did not correct all my back problems was spot on the right decision to be made. I could never have imagined that several years later I would be hospitalized once again and have to go through major surgery for the same injury. In the end the cases took several years. My quality of life has improved being pain free. I received two payouts the second one being five times the first and never had a pay one doctors bill out-of-pocket. Having Jim Maggs represent me in this case was the best decision I could ever have made. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to come out on top.

A great attorney

In 2001 my brother-in-law was seriously injured and my sisters were killed in an auto accident caused by an on-duty police officer. The extent of the injuries to my brother-in-law were such that he would never again be able to work for a living. Due to the circumstances, county and local police did e...verything they could to obstruct an investigation of how the accident occurred and omitted some critical evidence (data from a "black box") in the official report. Jim kept me fully informed and worked every possible resource to produce a settlement. His advice in handling the case was always correct and got results. Jim even limited his firm's customary (percentage) fees for their work because of the size of the settlement. If I ever need a lawyer again (have not in 15 years) I know who to call first.

Poor communicator

I am a former client and would not recommend this attorney based on his lack of timely response to messages and issues that were time sensitive. He does not return messages from phone call or emails in a timely fashion. His charges tended to be disproportionate to the work performed
