The agreement specified that the new doors should closely match the existing ones, but unfortunately, the doors were completely different. After the case dragged on for over a year with my first attorney, I went to court and lost. I decided to appeal the decision and hired Mr. Ishee, who was a breath of fresh air. Mr. Ishee was honest, fair, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable. He quickly helped settle the case out of court and successfully secured the return of my large deposit. I truly appreciated his approach and professionalism. Since then, I’ve worked with him again on contracts, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. He’s a rare find in the legal world.

Stellar legal representation. Passionate about his client's case. Kept me informed every step of the way. Made our position look credible, unlike that of the defendant. Best attorney I've ever had. Would engage his services any day.

Hired Attorney

I hired this guy years ago to represent me for a reckless driving case. He almost missed the court date. Zero communication, almost got me thrown under the jaiI. I should actually thank him. My wife got her JD, and I got my MLS from Cornell. Every time things got rough with our degrees we looked at each other and said " If Jim Ishee made it through law school ANYONE CAN." I wouldn't hire this man to fight a parking ticket, but his incompetence has inspired me for almost 2 decades. Thanks Jim....
