I hired Mr David Hudson to help me fight for custody of my granddaughters. My daughter passed away and I had had custody for approximately 2 yrs before their dad decided he wanted them. I went to Mr Hudson he explained everything to me and that it was gonna be hard for me to retain custody with me beginning the grandmother. But with David’s hard work we prevailed. I would recommend David as a lawyer to anyone who needs a honest hard working caring person.

Jim did an incredible job advocating and facilitating a successful conclusion. I interviewed a number of attorneys before hiring Jim and felt his experience was critical in my final decision. Jim was able to anticipate what was coming our way and advise accordingly.

I hired Siemens Family Law Group in Asheville, NC when I found myself facing an unexpected (and adversarial) divorce process. I specifically requested Jim Siemens, and I'm so glad I did. He is knowledgeable, responsive, and kind. He helped me get through this difficult process without compromising his integrity or mine. Jim's advice literally saved me from financial peril because it put me in a much better negotiating position. He had my back throughout the divorce mediation process. Both Jim and his assistant Dorothy were great to work with and I highly recommend this firm.

Jim Siemens and his staff are extremely professional and easy with which to work. They are great at providing prompt replies and service and are pleasant people as well.

Jim is a great listener and committed advocate. He cares about your concerns and goes the extra mile to make sure you receive the best legal services.

I needed to leave my home as a result of a highly toxic marriage that had finally come to an end. I was scared as my wife has a very high conflict personality style, and I knew I’d need a lawyer who could help protect me and the future I wanted to rebuild for myself and our daughter. Many of the local lawyers from the Ashville metropolitan area were hearst in family law, but none could I find that specialized in high-conflict separation. Quite frankly, I was scared as I knew that without the protection and guidance of the right attorney who really understood the rigors of dealing with high conflict, my future could be terribly turbulent. What struck me about Jim at first was his profile on his website. He was authentic, and completely values-driven and spoke as if he knew my situation and desire for a new life completely. His reviews were glowing on AVVO, and our first meeting was stellar. Jim’s quiet, calm, but confident demeanor instilled a peace in me that helped me focus. Jim took time to listen, and process, but in the end, always honor my values and goals - working quickly and efficiently to get all of our ducks in a row. Most of all, Jim had the heart of a coach; he sincerely gave wise counsel when it came to my daughter and her needs - always pointing me to my North Star. I was literally blown away by the quick, professional, and precise execution of Jim’s process - he had us sitting down to mediation with a legally-binding separation agreement within weeks! Done! The sheer relief I felt by having all of our i’s dotted and t’s crossed and under the law was worth more than I could have ever dreamed. Now, I’m moving on with my life and happier than I’ve ever been with a bright future. I was able to buy a beautiful home that is perfect for my daughter and I - a place where she can feel safe and enjoy her time as she grows up. I have a new lease on life, and I cannot thank Jim enough. He was a God-send.

I worked with Siemens Family Law Group for my divorce, specifically Jim and Dorothy. While the situation I was in was emotionally charged, full of turmoil and confusion, the care and legal service I received was top notch. SFLG took the time to hear my needs and provide council for the options that were available to me. I had never been in a divorce situation, and felt personally and professionally attacked during the initial process and subsequent filing of the lawsuit against me. Jim helped by clarifying what the process of divorce looked like, helped lay out a plan for equitable distribution, child support and custody, protecting my businesses, and removed the drama from our side of the equation. With the help of SFLG I was able to remove the personal attacks against me, find a settlement both parties could agree upon, find peace in my time of difficulty, and come out a father who has equal time and rights with my child, which has no greater value.

Jim understood the dynamics of my high conflict case right away. He laid ground rules to follow to reduce the conflict and build the foundation of my successful custody trial. I did not always agree with Jim’s advice but I trusted him and followed it. He could not have been more right, at every turn! Jim is a straight shooter and will tell you the things you don’t want to hear but need to. Jim handled my case with forethought, empathy, personal attention, and peaceful resolution. I highly recommend Jim Siemens for divorce and custody representation. I feel you will benefit from Jim being involved in your proceedings but you will fare much better with him working in your favor.

Jim and his staff were exceedingly kind, professional and gracious in developing my separation agreement. At a particularly low point in my life, I always felt they had my best interests at heart and would trust them implicitly to handle any family law issue that might arise in the future. I will always be grateful for their unfaltering assistance and sage counsel. Thank you.

Jim Siemens and his team were very helpful and friendly. They kept me informed, discussed pros and cons and gave me good counsel. I highly recommend this law firm.

I'm very thankful that Jim represented me through a complicated and unpleasant divorce & custody. Jim and his assistant were tremendous as they helped me through uncharted waters and I always felt fully supported. It was very evident that Jim is well respected in the courtroom and can smoothly navigate any challenge. Jim's professionalism, knowledge and confidence is why he is at the top among his peers.

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.
