James is an incredibly intelligent and hardworking attorney. After presenting him with a difficult case, I am more than satisfied at the settlement that was reached. He is thorough, organized, and it becomes apparent immediately after speaking/meeting with him that he is a master of his craft. I would most definitely recommend James to anyone needing legal assistance in the area of employment law.

I recently left my former employer to start my own company. Unfortunately, my former employer wasn't so happy with my decision and threatened a suit for Non-Compete and Trade Secrets. With James' help we were able to shoot down their claims and document a potential countersuit. He was very helpful and very reasonable with the hours charged. I would definitely use his services again! Thanks James!

James did an excellent job with my employment litigation. He helped me fight back and obtained a much better outcome than I expected. He's very knowledgeable (read his online articles and find out for yourself) and a skilled negotiator. During the initial consultation, he was able to dissect my case and give me solid suggestions I haven’t heard of before. He’s approachable and easy to talk to. I feel fortunate to have found a good guy like James on my side. I highly recommend him.
