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.
