About
I was born in Mason, Michigan, but grew up on the mission field in Puerto Rico. I grew up with a sense that showing compassion and serving others was the greatest goal in life. When I finished my undergraduate degree from Great Lakes Christian College in Ministry, I felt called to do something greater. I attended Cooley Law School in Lansing, Michigan where I graduated 2nd in my class. After passing the bar, I have pursued a career in law where I can first and foremost help people. I center my practice around assisting the elderly with their everyday needs. I do everything from basic estate planning, with wills and trusts, to more complicated arrangements, using insurance policies and long term care options. In addition I assist families in getting the elderly and disabled medicaid qualified when they enter the nursing home for a long term stay.

My experience with attorney James C. Higgs was a very positive experience. Mr. Higgs was prepared, and very knowledgeable on the subject at hand. He accurately sited Michigan law when presenting in the court room. He was professional with opposing counsel and extremely respectful toward the judge. His court room etiquette was exceptional. I would definitely recommend James Higgs to represent in his area of law.
Down to earth and easy to talk to. Knowledgeable and up to date on current laws and able to provide quick accurate responses to questions. I would highly recommend him
I've worked with Jim for 4 years now. He has always been up-front, trustworthy and client centered. He keeps current in his particular area of law. I have been very grateful for his work and dedication. More lawyers need to replicate his approach to law.
After the free consult (that was nice) he said he'd write a letter on my behalf. I called and emailed weekly with questions like what was the status, etc. and they were all ignored just an occasional email back from staff stating they were understaffed. Finally after a month he sent an email suggesting I find someone else as he was too busy. I lost 6 weeks of time because it took 2 weeks to get the consult. Very disappointing. I don't understand how someone can stay in business who operates that way. I contacted Attorney Mark Pasquali who was very professional and responsive to all my communication.

This guy is a terrible lawyer! Beware: DO NOT HIRE HIM! He drew up a land contract for the sale of my business, charged me for filing a UC-1 with the state, but neglected to do it. It cost me 120,000 because he did not do his job! He is a joke.
