Hired Attorney

10/10 highly reccomend Jim for your criminal defense attrny. I have a bad track record from a bad past and had a petty theft 2 years ago in mentor. Due to my lengthy track record they were trying to give me 180 jail w. A public defender. I ended up doing 15 days and told if i was ever in his court room again on a petty theft to just prepare for 6mo in county bc he would show zero leiency. 1 yr later I got another petty theft in mentor and was looking at 6mo in jail. Jim worked some type of voodoo magic because I went to sentencing yesterday fully prepared to not leave unless it was in handcuffs and a cruiser to take me to county but Jim got me off on house arrest so I can still work, continue going to college, be a present mother, pay my bills and not lose everything i own from sitting in jail for months on end. He was responsive throughout the entire process, was kind and understanding and charged a very reasonable affordable amount. Ide 100% be in jail rn if I had anyone but Jim

Jim was so quick to jump in and help in my situation. A simple speeding ticket had gotten out of control since I was keeping my whereabouts discreet to avoid an abusive ex. I was terrified and so stressed out, but Jim, even on the weekend, was responsive via email. When it was all said and done he was able to get the warrant removed, sealed my address for added privacy for me, and got the speeding ticket reduced to a parking ticket. Awesome attorney! He cares.

Hired Attorney

He was ill prepared/lacked preparation to make effective agreements on my behalf in court. He was not a good communicator along the way and frequently kept me out of the loop regrading decisions in my case. Avoided many important questions that were asked by me during the lengthily court process that ensued. He definitely had his own agenda which was not in this client’s best interest.

These FAQs include information about a lawyer's background, but do not evaluate their knowledge of the law, past performance on individual cases, personality, or communication skills.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

You should be aware that the information we rely upon may not be comprehensive, or frequently updated.

Always research the lawyer further to get a better understanding of their license credentials, disciplinary status, background, and experience.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews
