I'm a Realtor & reached out to James with a purchase contract issue. He listened, walked me through the process & was able to provide his thoughts & insight. I really appreciated him taking time to talk with me.

He was thorough and dealt with issues created by the title company. The issues required extra work and I was not charged extra.

Schottenstein was forthcoming with info on initial call. And he helped me sort through my options and confirmed my intuition, helping me frame my frustration in an action-oriented way Buyers scheduled closing then said the construction costs would exceed the bank's appraisal. Being the third extension of the closing, the second one happening the day of closing, I was livid, but didn't know what recourse I actually had, and how I should respond. Schottenstein explained how the contract worked and what should have happened, and what he would do if he were me. He was also very open about whether he could help me out not.

Jim Schottenstein is a knowledgable, trusted, reliable and responsive attorney. Need I say more? Could one possibly ask for more in an attorney? He has handled all legal matters associated with my small business since inception and through to the recent transfer of that business to a new owner. I know that I am a small client and yet I always felt that my needs were his top priority. And did I mention that he is personable? Yes, Jim Schottenstein is the whole package.

On April 10 I was contacted by the management company that I rent my condo through to inform me that the owner of the condo wanted to sell the property and wanted me evicted in 30 days! I was devastated as I was laid off in March due to the COVID-19 and now I was being asked to leave my home and I had just signed a new lease on March 1st for a year!!! I reached out to James Schottenstein for a consultation and hired him before the conversation was over! Mr. Schottenstein moved quickly to resolve the situation. He was very prompt in responding to emails and phone calls! I know I was not his only client, but he certainly made me feel like I was!! I would hope that no one needs the service of an attorney...but should you need help, I highly recommend James Schottenstein!!!!!

Mr. Schottenstein was able to help me and my wife out of a tricky situation, and I would highly recommend his services to others. First, he consulted with us and was able to provide a direct and to-the-point analysis of the situation, as well as a proposed plan of action if we were to secure his services. We both felt really good about his positive attitude and his stance on our situation, so we immediately hired him. He worked very fast, and I feel that our situation was positively resolved much quicker than it would have been if we had tried to tackle it on our own. He was able to get us everything we asked for, and his communication was excellent and prompt. Additionally, he answered all of our questions and provided us with sound legal advice for moving forward. I plan to keep his contact information, because just knowing that there's someone out there who knows us and can really fight for us makes me feel better.
