Mrs James is an awesome person and excellent professional. Helped me with the dependency case . So trusting and understanding. Thanks for all you did for me and my family

Kelley James was able to provide peace of mind, encouragement, and relief while handling the MOST stressful situation of my life. Dealing with CPS is already difficult, but handling a CACI case proves this law office can handle any situation. I had no idea the severity of a CACI finding from CPS. These findings are extremely serious and can affect your life dramatically, yet not everyone fights the findings. After learning about the case and having to find representation for this issue is where I learned that these findings are detrimental to anyone dealing with CPS allegations in their life. James legal group specialty is: Estate Planning and Dependency Law. Given this was a complex case, the representation from James Legal Group, was astounding at accomplishing the task at hand with limited resources. A service that cannot be compared‼️

We contacted and checked out other law firms that does Estate Planning but none of them gave personal service and they cost more. Attorney Kelley James was kind, direct, understanding, and we can't thank her enough for all she's done. We highly recommend asking questions and comparing her with other attorneys so you can see the difference and if you value personal service and want the one that understands your needs and can answer as many questions as you may have, then you will likely choose James Legal Group. We are so happy we did!

Kelley represented my fiancé and I in a battle against the county for our two year old foster son. Kelley has a sharp legal mind and is a powerhouse in the courtroom. She fought tirelessly for us and we felt extremely comfortable and confident that we had her in our corner. She held our hands every step of the way and was very patient with my hundreds of emails with random questions during the process. She’s also known to the San Diego legal community as everyone that we spoke to in San Diego either knew her or knew of her. I’ve never met a more thoughtful and honest professional and while I hope that we never need to use her services again, she’ll be the first person we call for any legal matters.

Kelley James got results for our family. She gives your case the time and attention necessary. And most of all, she's knowledgeable. She's who you want on your side. She's who you want in that courtroom for you. I've worked in the system for over 25 years. She's one of the best dependency lawyers I've ever seen. Honest, ethical, and smart. I highly recommend her.

Kelley made the process very easy from start to finish. She was patient and answered every question I had. My husband was very skeptical and felt that a will and trust were unnecessary since we are young and in good health. At the signing, Kelley did a great job explaining each document and mixing in casual conversation. She really put my husband at ease and had him laughing by the end of the signing.

My wife and I recently wanted to set up a living trust but didn’t know whom to contact. The thought of setting up a trust along with an updated will, Powers of Attorney, and Advanced Health Care Directives was all very intimidating for us and we wanted to be sure that the attorney we selected was, above all else, someone easy to work with. After doing some online research we decided to “take a chance” with Kelley James. Having now gone through the entire trust process we feel extremely fortunate to have made that decision. Ms. James listened carefully to everything my wife and I had to say, she offered numerous suggestions when she felt they were needed, and she explained the entire living trust process in terms that my wife and I could clearly understand. Our feeling of being intimidated by this whole process dissolved immediately upon meeting her. Ms. James is a true professional in the work she performs for her clients. And her personable demeanor made it obvious to us from the beginning that we had picked someone who would be easy to work with. We are completely satisfied with all of the final documents she prepared for us and highly recommend her as an estate-planning attorney.

We hired Ms. James for a dependency court matter. Dependency issues are very stressful, confusing and overwhelming. Ms. James was incredibly compassionate, thorough and comforting. She is incredibly intelligent and skilled with Dependency issues. Everyone likes Ms. James. She is a great person to be around, and to have on your side. Ms. James won the case that she represented us in, and she did it with the highest amount of skill and professionalism. I would absolutely recommend Ms. James to anyone for any legal area that she practices. She is helpful, personable, and as already stated, supernaturally smart. I always found her to be honest and straightforward. She is passionate about the work that she does. You will be very pleased if you hire this attorney, she is the best!

I just want to say that Kelley James was awesome. We had her review my parents trust and she found it to be OK. However, she passed on to us some fnatastic suggestions regarding the family trust and the estate. I'd recomend her to anyone needing this type of Attorney service

I fortunately found Kelley from an AVVO commercial. My current lawyer is no longer in the private sector, so I had to find new counsel. I had contacted many lawyers because I needed to make changes to my current will. Kelley was the only person that offered to take a look at my will to let me know if she can help me. It only took her a couple of days to get back to me and she said she was able to help me make the changes I needed. Kelley was very sensitive to my emotional needs. (my sister had passed away thus the updated will). She kept me up to date on all aspects and when noting hesitation in my voice she made sure I understood every aspect. The presentation of the will was a bonus. It is a very high quality binder and when I asked for two copies she gladly made them for me at no charge. Kelley thank you so much for your help.

A friend recommended The James Legal Group so I followed their lead and after years of procrastination, the creation of my trust is finally complete. Kelley made it so easy because of her extensive knowledge and willingness to spend the time with me to answer all of my questions about estate planning. She laid out all of that legal jargon in laymen's terms so it was simple to understand. The process was so easy and the price very reasonable.

If you are reading this and have the same overwhelming fears, doubts, etc as I did let me share this Ms. James will take charge and get the job done. In my dealing with Ms. James she was not only clear and honest but also respectful of my needs. At the time my career needed special attention. I needed to be confident my critical legal matter was in excellent hands. After two other attorneys I finally got exactly what I needed and wanted!
