Wise and thoughtful counsel. I had an excellent experience with Jim. The issues are never easy in family law, but Jim was easy to talk to, he heard me, and offered wise counsel. I recommend Jim.

I am happy to recommend Jim Siemens and the Siemens Family Law Group. Throughout my case, he consistently exhibited professionalism and reliability. His humor and kindness were always appreciated.

Jim and the team at Siemens Family Law Group were there to help guide me through my divorce. Divorce is never easy and resolution can be very difficult. Each and every call, question, email, and visit was handled with honesty, patience, and professionalism. I had confidence each step of the way because of Jim and his team. Great service like this is worth every penny.

No service....

Couldn't and wouldn't help

Brian is probably the only lawyer in Asheville, who is at his desk past 4:30pm on a Friday! (5:30). Brian talked with me over the phone and reviewed my file in person. He is straight forward and gets to the bottom line. I am grateful for his time to walk me through my next steps.

I hired Siemens Family Law Group to provide legal advice for my unexpected (and adversarial) divorce. Jim Siemens is a seasoned divorce attorney, very knowledgeable, and he has great insight. I also really appreciated his calm demeanor and kindness during one of the most difficult situations I have experienced. Jim helped me successfully navigate the divorce mediation process. His advice literally saved me from financial peril because it put me in a much better negotiating position. I highly recommend Jim and his team.

In May if 2019, I was in a car accident where I was T-boned by someone who ran a stop sign. I was referred to Brian by a close friend and began the process of filing a complaint against the opposing insurance company for the horrendously low settlement offer I received from them. Coming into this case, I was naive and unaware of the legal processes involved in such an endeavor. I thought, “Well the driver admitted fault, the damage is recorded, this will be easy”. I had absolutely no idea that my accident would have become such a battle to receive money lost. And that battle was fought tooth and nail by Brian and his team for me. We were in the middle of this process when the pandemic hit, which added another layer of complications and delays to everything. It took almost 3 years to get to the end of this settlement. Brian and Jenna, whom I worked with the most personally, were kind and patient with my unending questions, compassionate with my frequent emotional meltdowns, and kept me in the loop with my case regularly, knowing how much stress it was bringing me in my personal life, I didn’t feel in the dark. Brian had even come in on his day off just to meet with me and hear me cry about how unfair everything was. That’s a patient man. He wasn’t scared to tell me the truth of the arduous process we were in, even if I didn’t want to accept it, something I appreciated a lot. Anytime I had to come into the office, I was met warmly by Jenna, who always remembered me and my case. It never felt like a stuffy or cold lawyers office. I even met another individual who worked on my case behind the scenes that I was unaware of, he was very kind and happy to meet me, which made me feel that much more secure knowing Brian’s team was truly invested in my case. I never felt like I was just another number or just a client. I felt like Brian and Jenna genuinely cared about me as a person, they were truly fighting for me and my case. And to be quite candid, I believe they gave me more time and effort than they ever got compensated for after everything was said and done. But that didn’t stop them from treating me like family. Brian never stopped fighting for me even when we knew I wasn’t going to receive what we hoped I would. I have learned through this process, the system is absolutely flawed, ugly, unfair, and will make you insane. That is just the truth. I was a little fish in an ocean of sharks. The system isn’t set up for us. You ***need*** someone like Brian, like Jenna, who are aware of those flaws, and are still willing to go in and fight an uphill battle for you, which is exactly what they did for me. So, thank you Brian, Jenna, and the whole Brian Elston Law Firm, for staying grounded, staying connected, and staying human in such an exploitive world. You are gems! I 100% recommend this business.

Jim is a perfect combination of professionalism and knowledge, while simultaneously putting you at ease in a stressful scenario. Great support staff. Would recommend Jim Siemens without reservation, if you are unfortunate enough to need his services.

Jim Siemens was a pleasure to work with, very responsive, quick to accomplish tasks, and very personable. I appreciate his advice, his professionalism and would highly recommend him and his team to anyone that is in need of the services he provides. Often times, attorneys will drag things out and you see very little accomplished in a long period of time, but Jim and his group worked quickly to accommodate the urgency of my needs. Thank you Jim for an amazing effort and for all you did to assist me through a very difficult time!

My divorce was final before I knew Jim, but when a few post-divorce issues came up I turned to Jim for his legal advice and I'm glad I did - his counsel was spot on and he was a huge help. More recently I discovered that Jim also offers divorce (and post-divorce) coaching services. Once again I turned to Jim for his help - and once again I was glad I did. I needed a trusted advisor to help me work through some of the more intangible issues from my divorce so that I could focus on a more positive and productive future. Jim is an excellent listener and has much to offer a divorce coach. I highly recommend Jim in both capacities - as a family attorney and as a divorce coach. -Matt
