Pros
1
Excellent understanding of client's legal issues and ability to provide concrete, helpful advice
“Understanding of the problems I wanted to solve, provided concrete advice on what I need to prepare to present my facts and logic, very responsive when I had questions. Helped me achieve my goal and resolve issues.”
2
Strong communication and empathy, creating a positive client experience
“My divorce was incredibly stressful and James took much of that away. I felt he really understood my goal of a dissolution with as little drama as possible. He was very kind and respectful, he seemed to be friends or at least friendly to all staff members at the court house.”
3
Respected and well-connected within the legal community
“I could tell he was well respected. He's funny and brings humor to help ease uncomfortable situations.”
4
Achieves favorable outcomes for clients while maintaining a sensible, non-aggressive approach
“I appreciated that he had a sensible approach as opposed to being cut throat.”
5
Accommodating and flexible to client needs, including meeting at convenient locations
“He arranged meetings with me at the airport because he knew I didn't live in town and I did not have a car.”
Cons
1
Inconsistent quality of written communication, including grammar and spelling errors
“It is appalling to see an attorney filling out forms with grammar and spelling mistakes.”
2
Perceived as more interested in settling cases quickly than fully representing client's interests
“Really didn't help or guide me in what I wanted. Just wanted me to settle out of court with my divorce and custody because he was worried I couldn't afford to keep going on in court.”
