Reviews for James
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Mr. Ham assisted and continues to assist me on matters of compliance in advertising. He is extremely responsive, very thorough, knowledgable and gives tremendous piece of mind when advising on my issues.
Jim handled a bar complaint for me and I am very happy that I hired him. After speaking with Jim about the issues, I quickly understood that if I had handled the matter myself, I would have made the matter much more difficult to resolve. He handled the matter deftly, and the complaint was dismissed with just one response letter from Jim. Jim really knows this area of law. I would not hesitate to hire him again or refer him to a friend.
Jim is an excellent attorney who was always prompt at returning my phone calls and answering all of my questions. I was impressed with his insight and knowledge, what he said was accurate and thoughtful. We were able to achieve extraordinary results as a result of his hard work and his ability in directing me in taking the right actions and gathering the proper evidence. I would not hesitate to retain him again should I need his help. I ultimately was able to obtain a Private Reproval when several other attorneys simply did not believe it could be done. I also got potentially harmful advise from another attorney who advertises extensively in this practice area. Caveat Emptor, let the buyer beware, think twice before hiring an attorney who is not as good as Jim Ham.
