I sought out an attorney a little over two years ago to help me through a rough road ahead legally. I made my initial decision based off of reviews much like this one. Needless to say, I am still with James now!! I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a very knowledgeable, and highly skilled attorney. He and Sarah are very professional, and have never lead me down the wrong path. Look no further, he is the right man for the job!!
Words really fail me here. The support and help James has provided to me and my family over the YEARS has been phenomenal! James has gone far beyond (literally) his obligation to help me. He has always been there to give advice, render help, and represent me in virtually every circumstance. And his partner-in-justice (Sarah) is equally as phenomenal! Thank you both so much for everything! Thank you for always being there. You have helped my family and I to rebuild and move on. You are our champion and our friend. And we love you both so much! To anyone reading this – HIRE THIS MAN!!! He is no ordinary attorney. He will be there for you and he will help you as best he can with his heart.
Initially I hired the wrong attorney to handle my divorce. After I felt that she wasn't working in my best interest I found James and he confirmed my suspicions of how my case was being mishandled, costing me time and money. He did not waste time correcting the problems and I believe he did everything he could to expedite my case as quickly as possible. He and his staff (who were also excellent) promptly communicated any and all updates along the way, which helped me focus on my life and my future instead of the divorce process. I cannot recommend Mr. Cunha enough, he helped me get out of a terrible situation, his rate was quite reasonable, and after my experience I would have no problem trusting and hiring him again if the need should ever arise.
I hired James Cunha after paying another attorney a lot of money with little or no progress after 9 months. He settled my case to my satisfaction within 5 months. Mr. Cunha was honest and forthcoming with me and did not "nickel and dime" me to death. He is sharp and did not back down in the face of opposing counsel who tried to bully and drag the case out. If you need a creative attorney with a backbone, I highly recommend James Cunha.
I had a consultation with Mr. Cunha after reading all of the positive reviews on him on this website and others. I went to him after hiring another attorney who wasn't helpful and I needed new representation. After meeting Mr. Cunha there wasn't a doubt in my mind that he was the right person to represent me. It's one of the best decisions I've ever made. He is extremely sharp, a good listener, compassionate, and so dedicated to his work. My situation was extremely complicated, and he worked diligently throughout the entire process to help me. He never lost his patience with me no matter how many questions I had. During such a difficult time in my life it really meant a lot to know that I had Hired an attorney I could trust like Mr. Cunha. I would recommend Mr. Cunha to anyone needing a divorce attorney without hesitation.
I would like to express my sincere thanks to you, for transferring and taking care of the Guardianship process from one State to the next. I especially appreciated all you did in working the legal details, keeping me and our family informed, your responsiveness to questions throughout the process, clearly gave me answers to questions I had, unit the task at hand was completed. If you are looking for "The best" Lawyer, look no further, he will exceed any and all expectations. Mr. Cunha and his Paralegal Louise Baker are a powerful team !! Thank you for all your support to our family during this challenging time in our lives.
While a divorce is never an easy process, Mr Cunha made it just that. Not only does he know the law, he listens, cares, and is compassionate. He does not back down (in fighting for you) even if you want to concede. He is patient in explaining the process and makes sure you fully understand before you leave his office. Also, his staff consisting of Louise Baker(Paralegal/Assistant) , is also very knowledgable, supportive, and kind. If you want to feel at ease during a very stressful time, please call upon James Cunha at The Law Offices of James Cunha. You will be glad you did. The BEST Divorce Attorney in South Florida.
