Jim helped me through a difficult situation when my now ex-wife moved out unexpectedly and hired an attorney. Jim gave me sound legal advice and provided prompt responses to her attorney's proposals. When the dust settled I got a divorce. Afterward, Jim helped me re-write my will and clean up all the loose ends of paperwork and things to file that I hadn't even thought of. He was a straight-shooter, compassionate, and able to tell me things I had a difficult time hearing. I will always appreciate the work that he did for me and consider myself lucky that he was on my side. His expertise and experience were invaluable. I have used Jim since that time for other legal advice and concerns.

Mr. Huegli is the finest attorney I have ever known. He has an uncanny ability to research and locate all evidence and put forth the finest preparation for trial. He represented us in the successful prosecution of an individual fraudulently promoting himself as a financial advisor to an elderly member of our family. His unyielding efforts were central to evidence prepared for the county prosecutor leading to the conviction of a perpetrator on more than 10 counts of first degree theft. Without Mr. Huegli's tenacity and thoroughness, a similar outcome would have been unlikely.

Jim worked with me on case involving a criminal charge that instead of merely ending probation got my record cleared. Excellent work, knowledgeable and completely professional.

* Honest * Committed * Caring * Hard-working * Knowledgeable Jim Huegli is a man of high integrity. A great communictor who we feel has been responsive and respectful in the short time we have known him. When our former attorney dropped us we felt very defeated and disrespected. It was by chance that we found Jim, who immediately put us at ease as he reviewed the details of our case. His ability to strategize and zero in on pinnacle points make us feel that we are in very knowledgeable and trustworthy hands. We look forward to seeing this case through with Jim.

Mr. Huegli has served as a mediator in several complex medical malpractice cases we were handling. The effort and energy was outstanding but more important was his vast experience and knowledge which became clearly apparent as he broke down the complex medicine and issues in the case. Amazing how rapidly he digested and understood what had taken us months to grasp! As an experienced litigator in the field of medical malpractice I would highly recommend Mr. Huegli to any injured patient.

I've been an attorney for 36 years. Jim volunteered to help me with one of my larger civil rights cases. It involved issues of law that he hadn't dealt with before. He quickly learned the law, and then used his talent, experience, and trial expertise to help us win. Jim is one of the best attorneys I've ever met. I would hire him in a heartbeat!

Jim is currently representing my interests in a property dispute case. He keeps is informed of every new development and we never feel left in the dark like we had with previous lawyers. I can tell from his approach to litigation that he has my best interest in mind and knows how to achieve the best results. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer to fight for their interests.
