Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.James Hanks and his office staff helped me through my horrible situation with their expert advice and professionalism, but the kindness they showed throughout my ordeal went above and beyond anything I expected from them. I would highly recommend them if you are looking for people who will work for you and care about you.
Mr. Hanks and his staff are very professional and exceeded my expectations. Very pleased with their services.
James Hanks was a pleasure to work with on my case. His team of experts/associates assisted in all my needs and were able to provide a an outcome for my legal issues. I would recommend him and his team to anyone who is looking for professionalism, value and legal expertise.
I simply thought he was a down to earth good person that was very patient and never got agitated with me even though I was pushing him pretty hard through my own stresses. He knows his stuff obviously but more importantly was kind and patient.
Attorney Jim Hanks came highly recommended to me, and I in turn recommend him as well. His attention to detail, knowledge, determined loyalty, and calming disposition, made my experience with him very positive.
James Hanks is tremendously helpful and effective in a very difficult and potentially painful process. Jim and his associates were all responsive, kind and eager to fight for the welfare and rights of my children as well as mine. Jim was knowledgable of the law, legal process, courts and other firms contenders and how to wok with them on my behalf and to my advantage. I recommend James Hanks to anyone who needs legal advice and help of any kind.
When my grandfather passed away, we needed help with a probate issue. We came to Mr. Hanks and he was able to help us file the appropriate documents to get my grandfather's estate out of probate. He helped us quickly and efficiently. We were so grateful for his kindness and expertise at that difficult time.
Mr. Hanks was extremely helpful in assisting my husband and I in our estate planning. He prepared wills, medical directives and a trust for our family. He was knowledgeable and professional and we were thrilled with his work. I feel safer knowing that our estate is in order for our children.
