Mr Greer was enthusiastically helpful to me and provided several actionable tasks to provide forward traction with my case. He clearly has much experience with large , multi-unit complexes, HOAs, construction law and practices as well as keen insight into human nature and it’s foibles. I was flummoxed at the start of our conversation and left it feeling much more confident and assured.

I consulted Mr. Greer because my seller wants to rent back 2 weeks after closing. Mr. Greer was very kind and knowledgeable and advised me on which form to fill out for this situation. He also recommended to have the seller keep their home insurance during the rent-back period to protect our house. He practices in both in CA and CO and highly recommend him for your legal needs. Thank you Mr. Greer.

Nobody enjoys being in a legal dispute, however, it was a delight working with James. His knowledge, expertise, and efficiency engendered the confidence to get me through a challenging time. I would highly recommend James as an attorney.

I called James with multiple questions in regards to terminating a lease early and getting involved with small claims and he answered all of concerns and questions with clear, logical solutions as well as a plethora of need-to-know information and guidelines that helped get me well informed for future decisions in regards to this matter. Very grateful I had the chance to connect with him! Would highly recommend to anybody that needs clear, well educated and informed help with their case.

My case involved an easement issue. Jim reviewed the documentation and photos that I provided and spent a sufficient amount of time discussing it with me at no charge. He then laid out a legal strategy and several options for his involvement, with fixed prices for each. He acted quickly and kept me informed at each stage. Aside from his efficiency and competence, I found him to be friendly and pleasant to work with.

A subcontractor put a lien on my house because of a dispute after the original contractor I hired went bankrupt. Not knowing the legal terms and receiving a threatening letter from a lawyer with large dollar amounts in it and then papers from the court, I was about ready give up. James talked with me on an initial phone consultation and immediately made me feel less threatened by the situation. He worked with me and provided support at each step of the process with crystal clear transparency of his communications with the opposing party. Every question I emailed him was answered faster than I would expect (many within minutes) and with assertive professional verbiage that required no further explanation. James understood my lack of knowledge on the matter and gave me the comfort I needed by showing what was going on at any given time and what to expect in the near future. He went above and beyond the resolution of the issue at hand with his help for me to properly open a claim against the bond of the original contractor. The dark cloud has lifted and I can breathe easier now. I highly recommend his services for matters similar to mine.

My wife and I were having an issue with some former buyers of our house who decided not to go through with the sale and the house fell out of escrow (as was their right). The former buyers then came to us to try and recoup inspection fees, appraisal fees etc...and threatened us with a small claims court action. We contacted Jim, had a wonderful conversation which lasted well beyond the 15 minutes contracted and he advised us on a course of action. We hired him on the spot and within 3 hours Jim had seen, read, and absorbed all the materials we needed him to see and then he delivered a letter to the former buyers that was so on point both legally and morally that my wife and i are still stunned at its accuracy This guy is the real deal. We could not be more pleased with Jim and recommend him to anyone having any type of real estate issue.

Jim Greer has definitely changed my opinion of customer service and lawyers. He returned my phone call promptly and even though I missed that call, he followed up shortly after and we discussed my legal options. Attorney Greer's knowledge of real estate and the laws relating to construction blew me away. He offered big pictures that I could clearly understand and then explained the more nuance ideas in a logical manner. As someone not at all familiar with the law, he answered my many questions professionally and compassionately. I spoke to a couple more lawyers who took much longer to return my calls and they didn't come close in terms of their knowledge and ability to explain plans of action.

James not only provided me with an excellent service, he is the first attorney that actually picked up his own phone and genuinely cares about his client. He is exceptional and goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and at ease through the legal hardships of being engaged in litigation. I cannot tell you how thankful I was to find him. Thanks Jim!

I'm a homeowner who was defrauded by a general contractor. I saw James Greer's online response to another homeowner who had a similar situation so I decided to call James for advice. I ended up deciding not to pursue any legal action against the contractor but was very impressed with James' knowledge and experience in this area of law. I previously discussed my case with numerous construction law attorneys but none of them were able to give me a clearer picture of all the legal issues, California statutes and case law at issue (I am an attorney myself but I don't practice construction litigation). More importantly, James Greer was able to provide me with many practical options to seek financial compensation from the contractor other than resorting to legal actions and he was very knowledgeable about the operation of California contractor' license board and bond companies. Lastly, he was giving me free legal advice extremely patiently. You can sense this is someone who cares. I already recommended him to my friend who has a similar claim against the same contractor!
