Mr. James Comerford is an outstanding attorney that I highly recommend. He is extremely professional and provides excellent legal advice and advocacy. He always returns calls in a timely manner and is willing to go above and beyond for his clients. He is also very patient and shows a lot of empathy and support. I would certainly recommend James Comerford Law Group to anyone.

It’s so tough to know what to do when you are broke, injured, and giving up on the system that was supposed to be there as you were for them. After years (since 2005) I have been fighting for a quality of life that the VA wouldn’t provide me. I tried the DMV, VFW, and paying medical doctors out of my pocket to keep getting denied. I did the best decision ever and hired a lawyer. I talked to James and a hard covid year later, I’m praising the man who said I had a case to fight for, after the VA kept denying me. I can’t stress enough that this man changed my life, and finally gave me a chance to breathe and succeed. James Comerford is professional, realistic, and straight forward . Thank you from the bottom of my families heart, especially my son who is about to be born.

I contacted Jim after my first denial for SS Disability. He was referred to me by a good friend who had retained him for her Disability odyssey as well. My Disability case was somewhat difficult because I didn't have a nice, large cache of medical documentation to back up my claim. Despite this and other complications Jim helped me get through my hearing and I received a fully favorable decision from the Judge and now I am just waiting to start receiving my benefits,

James is an absolutely great lawyer. He fully understands his area of expertise, he's quick to answer any questions with clear, concise directions on how to proceed. His insight into understanding how to navigate with many case laws and government agencies helped me as his client better understand the case law and it's ways. James is quick to answer emails and phone calls, and made me feel very comfortable. I highly, highly recommended James for his case law specialties. A professional and true gentleman, even when I would ramble on with worry, James was very understanding and able to put my concerns at ease.

I had gone on disability before and got better so I went back to work again. When I got bad again and applied for disability, it was unbelievable. IT was hell. I got hooked up with Jim, and he was an incredible human being as well as a wonderful lawyer. I definitely recommend anyone who needs a disability lawyer to use Jim

Jim is a good lawyer that helped us through a difficult purchase of our home(he also was the lawyer for the sale of our previous home). We had quite a few issues with the details of the purchase with both the bank and the seller that James made sure were resolved as quickly as possible. When the selling lawyer would not respond to phone calls/emails Jim physically went to the lawyer's office and made sure that the final details were pushed through. I would recommend Jim as an attorney as he is very knowledgeable and thorough on the work that he does.

Terrible! Trying to win my disability case after 4 years! He didn't want to research my rare diagnosis. Never let me get any words in, lack of compassion!! Find someone else to handle your case, trust me! So full of himself!
