Very recommendable! I switched to Jim from another firm, and best decision I ever made. Very competent team. I got hit by a truck while waiting on a red light. Back and neck injuries, with chronic effects. It took one year to get my check but it was well worth it.

I drive a Truck and got hurt while working, resulting in 2 lost toes. My attorney was unable to get me a compensation and I switched to Jim&Guy. Jim is the one that helped me and everything was great from that point. Especially the check I received.

Very responsive, took my case himself (no junior staff), and explained everything very clearly. At the begining I had some doubts, but after seeing the first doctor he recommended and became more comfortable. The compensation was also higher than I expected.

James Gumbiner won my case 3 years ago. I should have posted this earlier, but better late than never. Broke my arm at work and could not return for 8months. In the meantime James got me a weekly paycheck and medical care. I did not love one oof the Physical Therapy places, but the rest was fine. We ended up in court and he was a beast. I got a great compensation. I would still prefer to have full fuctionality in my arm, but it is nice to not have a mortgage anymore.

I hired them thinking it would be a good out come. The worst decision of life. Chris Cooper didn't care about my long term injuries, he just wanted to please the insurance company and for that I got low balled on my case . I would never recommend using this law firm for anything. The communication was horrible and he lied a lot .
