I had a wonderful experience during some very trying times with the help I received from Jamie. Choosing to work with him resulted in a positive outcome. He is kind, efficient, and easy to communicate with. I am so thankful for his expertise in such a difficult time in my life.
Very transparent and honest. Minimized billing hours to be keep case focused and efficient.
James took on my case and I was impressed with his knowledge, candor and suggestions for a cost-effective way to achieve the desired outcome. He is personable and has excellent communication skills - always kept me up to date with progress on my case. I recommend him wholeheartedly for any legal assistance.
I consulted four different lawyers prior to reaching out to James. I was about to concede until I talk to James and he recommended to file a motion to dismiss based on lack of jurisdiction. He got my case dismissed. He knows the law.
James Chandler is a stand up guy. For over a year he put up with emails from me and answering questions. Most attorneys will say “pay me” before even reading your emails but James didn’t do that. I think that speaks leaps and bounds about his character and not being selfish by prioritizing money over principal as so many do.
I received clear, honest, legal advice from Attorney Chandler in a family case. Chandler's legal representation saved me over 40 thousand dollars.
James is a great lawyer. Very professional and took the time to explain everything tome with my divorce. He got everything done in a timely manner and was there for me every step of the way. I would highly recommend him to anyone I know.
Mr. Chandler was very helpful while my husband and I needed legal help. He explained each step and how and when it was going to take place. Made us feel We were not alone in what we were going through. Every time I had a question he answered Right away.
James is an incredible person and lawyer. He will give you every scenario and outcome for your case. He is personable and very knowledgeable, which is what you NEED when hiring a lawyer! James was with me every step of the way during my case. If you’re looking for an attorney he’s your guy. A++
