I had a very complicated case that took after hour calls and situations resolved. Mr Buchanan was always there to get these issues resolved even after hours and in the end justice was served correctly! I continuously send everyone asking for a lawyer in his area of expertise towards him because I feel he is the best and truly a stand up individual!

I was referred to Jim when the attorney that handled my divorce was uninterested in helping me resolve issues with my ex not following the decree, I have since consulted with him on a couple of issues. He is knowledgeable, responsive, supportive, straightforward and effective. I am so grateful that I've had him as a resource. I highly recommend him.

I have called and met with mr James many of times. He has called me back if I had to leave him a message promptly. He was real with me. He told me what to expect good or bad. I would definitely recommend him for your attorney needs

When Jim and I first started on my case he was the third lawyer and the first two were unable to succeed with anything that they attempted. In less time and less money Jim was able to get me further in the process of visitation with my children. I will continue with Jim in the process to get further visitations with my children he exceeded my expectations on all aspects

I had first consulted with Jim a year prior to starting the divorce process and his level of professionalism was the same. He kept me informed throughout the process. I feel as his client he listened attentively, valued my input and provided solid guidance The divorce process can be very daunting, exhausting and confusing, but Jim answered all of my questions and there were no surprises. I have and will continue to refer clients to him.

I hired James to help to modify my child support 2014 and my divorce degree in 2016. He is understanding and explains everything in detail about what is going on. Would highly recommend him.

After being burned with my first attorney, I believe it was fate that allowed Jim and I to cross paths. I was in the market for a new attorney and he asked me to update his contact information at my job. When asked what kind of case work he did and that I was looking to do a divorce modification he gave me permission to use his info to contact him. BEST DECISION EVER! I first met with Jim on a consultation (I took my parents for their opinion too). I hired him. Jim is a straight shooter. He will not tell you what you want to hear to make you happy. He will tell you what you are up against and the probability of your wants being granted. Jim has a big heart and kept my children's best interest at heart (after all that is what was important). I was able to modify my parenting plan and divorce that benefited my children and filled the holes that were left when it was originally created. He is the one attorney I do not dread hearing from or seeing. Jim is an amazing attorney and I will remain a client for as long as he'll have me. I am firm believer that everything happens for a reason so Thank you Jim!
