Jim worked on a case for me that was very complex and he was very communicative and professional with me throughout the process. He takes every extra step to ensure his clients are protected while being aggressive with negotiations when needed and he hit it out of the park! Highly recommend Jim and using him for legal services.
As a producer/actor I have worked with Jim on numerous project ranging from small issues to reviewing complete contracts. Jim has always been extremely professional,knowledgeable,right on the money with his expertise plus he's one heck of a nice man. I couldn't have accomplished half of my goals without his support and help. He's always the very first person I think of when friends and colleagues need a great lawyer.
James is great attorney who is brilliant at spotting issues, and bring solutions. He has helped me bring my business into a more prosperous one.
I hired Jim Acheson to collect unpaid wages from me and he told me that under California Law he can collect 30 times what I was owed on my day rate. I couldn't believe it! but he got me the full amount of money that was owed to me $60,000. The best part about it was I never stepped inside a courtroom. Jim is the best and I highly recommend him. Thanks Jim.
As a Voting Member of The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and sciences Producer Branch, and a writer/director, I have found Jim Acheson's skills as a negotiator and overall career consultant, invaluable. He's what we call a "problem solver," a "solutions oriented" mentor that finds a way to make things work. He's my "go to" guy when the going gets tough as it often does in the entertainment business.
I'm a licensed commercial real estate broker in the state of California and Jim Acheson's structuring and creative financing expertise, as well as his tax knowledge, were all indispensable in helping craft a solution to a complex real estate transaction. I have used many attorneys before but Jim Acheson's constant communication and fresh perspective was excellent.
