I hired Daryl to help me navigate post-divorce litigation initiated by my ex-husband. Daryl used his 40+ years of navigating divorce litigation against "difficult" opponents and their attorneys and helped to ensure not only my survival after 12 months of their bullying through the legal system, but my court victory. His compassion for victims of domestic abuse (me) along with his legal knowledge, experience and "savvy" helped me to move through the most horrible experience of my life [yes - the post-divorce litigation was even more horrific than the actual divorce process.]. He continues as my attorney on retainer to help me deal with additional issues surfacing as a result of my ex-husband's behavior.
I had the best experience with Daryl, who helped me through my divorce. He is empathetic, thoughtful, prepared and smart. He tries to find common ground but fights hard if the other side acts unreasonably. I always had the sense that we was much more engaged in the case than the opposing counsel. I highly, highly recommend him.
I cannot say enough good things about Daryl. My ex plus lawyer were very combative, but Daryl was always thoughtful, knowledgeable, organized, and considerate. He wants to find solutions that work best for all parties, but is not afraid to go head-to-head when necessary. I strongly believe in finding a lawyer that reflects your values and personality. For my ex, that meant finding someone who would fight even when compromise was the best outcome, which turned out to be a major mistake for my ex. For me, it meant finding someone with integrity who wants to achieve fair outcomes. That style won't suit many clients, but the good thing about being in a smallish city is that Daryl's reputation for integrity is well known. Overall, I recommend Daryl for being such an incredible lawyer and human being.
I engaged Daryl James because of his emphasis on a collaborative approach to a divorce. I appreciated that he was calm and thoughtful; he worked with me to come to a resolution that reflected my best intentions. I would recommend him wholeheartedly.
I knew Daryl James through working with him over a thirty-five years time frame as a non lawyer who worked professionally in the legal field. Out of the hundreds of attorneys I met during these years, it was Daryl whom I picked when my wife decided to end our long marriage. He was just how I knew him to be-compassionate, efficient, totally knowledgeable, and effective in his just-right combination of confidence and clarity in court. His staff is well-chosen--- smart and efficient and knowledgeable and compassionate. Daryl is extremely highly regarded by other attorneys, judges, and mental health professionals who work in the area of divorce law.
Daryl offered counsel in a no-nonsense method that allowed me to approach separation with complete trust in him and the process. Daryl's experience and expertise of how things were very comforting during a very difficult time in my life.
In the sad event of divorce, Daryl did a splendid job of helping us maintain good relations and devise a good settlement. The patient work with what was needed to satisfy the court and maintain flexibility for later events has been very much appreciated for many yeas now. Later, Daryl worked out some other needs for an adjustment, in a new way. And, I have employed him and hist staff for a will. I heartily recommend him for an alternatives to confrontation and competition. His care goes well beyond the legal details.
Daryl fully embraced my goal to keep the divorce process as stress free as possible by helping find ways my former husband and I could work together in cooperation rather than with adversity. He was clear about things I needed to do and things my former husband and I needed to do together without always requiring his direct intervention. But at the same time I knew Daryl was completely available when I need to consult with him. I greatly appreciated his gentle and supportive approach while at the same time had complete trust in his professional abilities.
I hired Daryl to represent me during a collaborative divorce process. At a very difficult time, I felt fully supported and well-represented. Because divorce is such an emotionally charged subject, it was extremely reassuring to have someone working for me that had my best interest at heart, and someone who was paying attention to things that I hadn't even thought about. Daryl is extremely knowledgable about the collaborative process, which allows you to avoid going to court. He is very well-versed with tax issues, financial planning issues and I found him to be very forward thinking as far as issues that will (and have) come up down the road. Knowing that you can trust the person representing you alleviates a lot of stress. I can't thank Daryl enough for helping me come out of this process with the best possible agreement.
I turned to Daryl when I divorced six years ago. Sadly my divorce was messy, with two children, complex financial issues and two parties who still cannot get along. Daryl stepped in and brought sanity to what had been utter chaos. He did a solid job for me on a difficult case and has supported me when things have gotten sticky in the years since. He did a good job helping through change of parenting time and change in child support several years after the initial settlement. I would recommend him highly
