Reviews for James
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.While I would never dream to file a case against a previous employer...That was the position I found myself in...and needed help!! Mr. Jennings was referred by a family friend...as one of the best employment attorneys in Dallas...! I have to say I fully concur...While my case is very challenging, Jim jumped in to tackle it...He & his staff were expedient, professional, supportive and assertive to my cause...!! I would highly recommend Jim Jennings to any one in need of his counsel...!!
Mr. Jennings and his team was great. He did everything needed at Avery fast pace and stayed ahead of the other side. He explained everything and had me review everything. I would recommend him for any council needs pertained to employment.
I had the good fortune to have been referred to Mr. Jennings by a previous client of his. The minute I entered his office and started discussing my matter, I immediately felt comfortable knowing I was in good hands. He made himself readily available, including outside normal business days and hours. Mr. Jennings successfully represented me and I was made whole after the matter was resolved. I would never consider consulting another attorney besides Mr. Jennings. That is the honest truth.
Mr. Jennings was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and patient with me throughout the time I was working with him on my case. He worked with me carefully and compassionately during this extremely stressful and tense time in my life. His knowledge and wealth of experience was very helpful to my case. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing such services.
This was an international matter, and Mr. Jennings was available day and night, as needed, since a 14 hour time difference was involved. He was responsive, attentive and always seeking to move the matter forward towards a successful conclusion. With his assistance, we reached a conclusion which we considered both appropriate and successful.
Highly useful in difficult and complex cases.
I have known Jim for twenty years. I asked Jim to represent me or my company several times. I know Jim as extremely intelligent and very aggressive. You will be lucky to have Jim on your side. I always believed Jim advised me appropriately and pushed me to better positions in negotiation. I recommend Jim to all who inquire about attorneys.
Jim is an excellent attorney and is very results oriented. He handles complex commercial litigation and is very aggressive in moving to a conclusion on favorable terms, rather than dragging out the dispute. He handles himself very well on his feet in the courtroom and is always prepared.
