Hired Attorney Mr. James Papirmeister

Working with Mr. Papirmeister was the best experience ever. Mr. Papirmeister was highly recommended to me from a friend who used him in the past. He was knowledgeable professional determined to bet my son's cases. Hands down this lawyer was God sent. I was so worried about my son I couldn't sleep or even eat; I had many days of depression before I hired Mr. Papirmeister. I only have one child, so he totally means the world to me. Once I retained Mr. Papirmeister my fear total diminished my heart trusted him and he gave me the strength that I needed to prepare for the fight. My son had serious charges that would have been life changing. Mr. Papirmeister stuck by are side every step of the way and he fought and bet all charges. The rate is well worth it. If you need a lawyer who you can trust with your life in his hands this is the lawyer you need you will thank God later! let's also mention how connected he really is he sits on a board of judges, he has 40 years of experience!

Hired Attorney Mr. James Papirmeister

What stands out the most about Mr. Papirmeister isn’t just his reputation and understanding of criminal law, though, both are impressive. It isn’t even that he gets results, though, he definitely does. The thing that told us we had the right attorney was the genuine empathy he displayed from the first consultation to the final hearing. He takes the time to explain what he’s doing and why, and conveys genuine concern for all parties involved.

Hired Attorney Mr. James Papirmeister

I feel fortunate to have stumbled across Mr. Papirmeister actually by accident. I found him long before I was actually charged based on realizing that I might likely be facing charges down the line. From the first time that I met with him, he demonstrated an understanding of not only the criminal issues but also the psychological issues. He demonstrated a concern first and foremost for my current and future life and addressed my holistic needs. The support that he arranged for me literally helped to save my life and his legal care kept me from incurring prison and other life-altering negative consequences. When I compare his strategy and advice with what I heard from others, I realize that he offered what was best for me. Other attorneys were advising approaches that would have likely been very unsuccessful and incredibly more expensive. I strongly recommend Mr. Papirmeister if you are facing legal challenges related to sexual offenses that also have a psychological factor.

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

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
