I was on the receiving end of a car wreck back in 2019. Two days later I could hardly walk. I knew I was in trouble physically so I reported my work. At that point it was a worker comp situating. After several doctors appointments and physical therapy sessions I decided to do some homework for an attorney. Jim was recommended to me by my employer’s attorney. I trust my employer to send me to the best attorney. They did. I reached out to Jim and he took my case. He told me on the front end that this case would be difficult due to the reputation of this particular insurance company. He is great at communicating and keeping me in the loop. He’s not afraid to fight in court if it would have come to that. It didn’t because Jim had gathered enough ammunition that they knew they had to settle. I highly recommend Jim. He’s a great person, attorney and friend.

Jim handled a Lawsuit against my Partner's Estate. He was integral in helping me to settle the Suit within a year. His wise counsel was invaluable in retaining my company! He is an outstanding Litigator and I highly recommend him for complicated legal issues.

James was not only professional but also listened to the issue at hand, offered solutions abs really walked hand in hand through the entire process. He returned calls on a consistent basis as well as email. James was certainly a pleasure to work with. In the 15 years of needing attorneys for different matters, James certainly exceeded my expectations and has been one of the best attorneys I have fealty with in the past 15 years. Highly recommend James.

I had been trying to help my son with a legal issue for over four years and was having absolutely no success whatsoever. We were in the right, but the people we were dealing with were in a position of power and were very lackadaisical when it came to communicating with us and it cost us several thousand dollars, as we could not get them to communicate with us to help resolve the issue. Jim and I used to go to the same church, where he was very active and helpful in many ways. He is also a great friend and just an all around great guy. I called Jim and he came to our house for a consultation, and we went over everything and he went right to work on this matter. Once the people we were having problems with realized that Jim wasn't going to stand for them ignoring the problem, and that he wasn't going away, he was able to get this issue resolved and we finally put this matter to bed. He communicated with us regularly and assured us that he would stay with this until we got everything staightened out, and that is exactly what he did. I would highly recommend Jim if you need help with any of your legal matters! He is the best!

Jim discussed the facts of my claim. He was realistic on the settlement amount of a small injury claim. He informed me of the cost and steps on what to expect if I had to file suit. He reviewed a "release form" from an insurance carrier and confirmed it was poorly written and I should not sign the release. He encouraged me to refuse to sign the release form until the insurance carrier correctly included all of the terms of the settlement. I refused to sign and the insurance carrier revised the release form to include all terms of settlement.

Mr. Catalano was very helpful in providing me with initial advice regarding a possible legal situation about copyright infringement. He took the time to explain his view about the issue and offered several options on how to deal with it. I was very pleased with his advice and the detail that he went into in order to address my situation. I feel Mr. Catalano would be a great attorney for anyone seeking legal services.

I have worked with Jim for many years and he has always been a professional and knowledgeable of the law. He is a person that will be straight forward and will not have his clients incur unreasonable or unnecessary costs. Jim defended most of my cases in the Middle Tennessee and Southern Kentucky areas and obtained numerous defense verdicts at trial. Outside of formal litigation, he is beneficial in alternative resolution and bringing cases to closure. I highly recommend Jim Catalano and will retain his services at every opportunity.

I hired Jim Catalano to represent a company of which I was the president. I found Mr. Catalano to be extremely professional and knowledgeable. In addition to being an excellent lawyer, I now consider him to be not only a lawyer and advisor but also a personal friend for life. I would highly recommend Mr. Catalano to anyone needing legal help.

Very thorough and professional. He took the time to explain various aspects of an issue and did not nickel and dime me. Will use again.
