Jim is fair honest, and deeply cares for his clients. You can see it on his sleeve. He is informative of the process, and works hard to keep cool heads and the higher road. I highly recommend him for your family law needs.

Five minutes in to my initial consultation I knew I would be hiring Jim Siemens. He had already come highly recommended by a work colleague. but he put me at ease and explained the process of separation and divorce in North Carolina. He provided me with all my options,best and worse case scenarios. He and his staff kept me informed every step of the way. Even though divorce is a painful experience, even when it is a mutual decision between spouses, Jim Siemens helped to make it a smooth transition. I also found it extremely helpful prior to my consultation to read through the articles that Jim Siemens provides on his website. Would highly recommend to any friend or colleague.

Jim Siemens and his staff provided me with exceptional service, expertise, and professionalism and did so with a kindness that was welcomed during my unexpected time of need. The matters we engaged were profoundly important to our family, and yet I could not have imagined better service.

I was very recently divorced in May of 2017. Our divorce was tricky because of our businesses. Jim Siemens and his staff valued and distributed 4 different closely held businesses in our case, while considering tax consequences to me, as well as other considerations and negotiations. It was clear that Jim was knowledgable and able to guide me with confidence and insight. I felt confident because of Jim's intelligent and professional care in handling our case. I am very grateful and pleased with my experience!

Short headline: I am a guy and I got the house, maintained my financial standard of living, and got primary custody of the kids. Jim has represented me over a few years with actions including mediations, and a custody trial. Jim is thoughtful, careful, methodical, and truthful. In our custody trial we were up against a defendant who was extremely calculating and planned out her entire life around trying to malign and alienate me from my boys. The defendant had set traps for me and engineered no-win situations non-stop for two years leading up the trial and played the victim effectively enough to manipulate even seasoned mental health professionals to her advantage. We were absolutely in the right, but it was an extremely difficult case to prove. Jim took the time to trudge through the backstory with me, to exhaustively pour over evidence, and to listen to me put the flex points of the case into perspective. He found the handles, the leverage in the case and crafted a clearly understandable and winning message to communicate with the court. At the conclusion of testimony, he delivered a closing argument which so clearly explained the aspects of the case and so effectively tied our points to incontrovertible evidence that opposing counsel was unable to respond with a coherent counter argument in their closing. The judge ruled in our favor without further deliberation. Beyond his best of breed trial skills, Jim has the depth of knowledge to help you navigate the entirety of the process. He will help you put your situation in context, find the best approach given the circumstance, and keep you moving forward. You may be regretting some of your life decisions and this process can be painful and draining. Hiring Jim means your story will be clearly understood by the courts, your interests will be fiercely represented, and your life will begin again sooner than you think.

Jim handled my case which was very complex. He was honest with me throughout my divorce process and guided me to make decisions based on facts and the law and not my heightened emotions. He is a skillful litigator and was thoroughly prepared for court filings and mediation.

I couldn't have any greater appreciation for Jim and his team . Their professionalism and preparation , beyond compare ! communication , strong and thorough .

Despite his local reputation as a 'shark'. Jim is a really nice guy who will listen to you and sometimes painfully give you excellent legal advise.

I have much gratitude for the outstanding work Jim did in my and my daughter's behalf. His dedication and commitment were encouraging throughout this difficult divorce process.

Jim is an excellent attorney with a highly trained and kind staff who are always professional and fast to respond. I would trust Jim with any case, he is very sharp and very well respected in the legal community.

Jim Siemens helped me through a very difficult process negotiating a Separation Agreement with my wife of 10 years. He was very patient and gave me excellent advice as I navigated this painful episode. Nobody wins in a family breakup but Jim made the experience less difficult. I am glad I found him.

From the moment I first walked through the door at Siemens Family Law I knew I was in the right place. The office atmosphere was calm, caring and supportive. Jim listened and made sure we both understood all the aspects of what we were discussing. . He worked with me to settle my equitable distribution, and insisted I not do anything I was uncomfortable with. He pointed out things I overlooked and I clarified things I was unsure he understood. Jim Siemens worked for and with me to get the best possible distribution outcome. After years of attempts at reaching a distribution settlement with my ex, I was able to finally get a satisfactory settlement with Jim's counsel and end that chapter. Jim is a genuinely good man who conducts himself with honor and is there to get the best outcome for his client. He does not waste his client's time or money. I have recommended him to several people in need of great legal counsel because I feel he is the best.
