James and Denise are an amazing team. They took what I considered to be an impossible situation and turned it into a possible situation ending in settling out of court. James is highly experienced and is more skilled than the two attorneys I hired prior.

James has been on top of research for my case. He is optimistic and I feel like he genuinely cares about me. Being injured is difficult and his compassion and understanding have been touching. I highly recommend Mr. Bocott his integrity and dedication are top notch.

James got us handed off to him when our original attorney moved due to a family emergency. He kindly took on a very difficult case and did extensive research to yield the best results for our case. I could not be more pleased with the attention and compassion he showed us during this difficult time. James is a Rockstar!!!

James is excellent he answered all our questions and did not pressure us to make a decision he let us way all of our options and come to a conclusion on our own. He was also very available in the evening hours to speak with us which was extremely helpful.

I hired James to assist me with my divorce and hes done a great job handling my needs and communicating with me in every step of the process. I'd recommend him for handling any cases in the future to others!

I was going through a very difficult custody situation and felt I had very few options. I contacted Mr. Bocott about my situation and he made a world of difference for me and my children. He is very easy to talk to and his partner Denise was very helpful as well. I had doubts about the situation, but Mr. Bocott gave my children the best chance to have their voice heard and I will always be grateful for that. He deserves 5 stars for being professional, and a great source of knowledge and for being as helpful as they were to my case. Thank you for all your help!

We needed a lawyer to handle our bankruptcy. James Bocott was referred to us and we both found him very component to handle our account and get the creditors off our backs. If we ever needed a lawyer again, we wouldn't hesitate to contact James.
