James E. Bitner

I had an excellent experience working with attorney James Bitner, who practices residential real estate law in Northern Virginia. He was professional, attentive, and took the time to fully understand the issue I was facing with my condo closing process. I truly appreciated how patiently he listened and offered a free 30-minute consultation, during which he provided clear, actionable steps that helped me resolve the matter efficiently. He even took the initiative to call my selling agent directly and advised her on a few necessary actions that were key to resolving the closing issue. His guidance made a stressful situation much more manageable. I highly recommend Mr. Bitner to anyone in need of reliable and knowledgeable legal support in real estate matters.

I had the pleasure of talking with Jim Bitner about a personal matter regarding my home, I can confidently say that he is one of the most knowledgeable and experienced professionals I have encountered in the real estate industry. I can assure you; he exceeded my expectations. He has a deep understanding of the complexities involved in real estate law and advised me on what I should do to resolve my problem. He gave me expert, clear, and honest advice; however, it was not just his expertise that I appreciated, it was his genuine commitment to providing me with as many options as possible, and that I was fully informed. As a Realtor myself, I look to provide the best service for my clients and often, we have issues that specifically require legal counsel. I was so impressed that I have decided to work with him for all of my future settlements and contracts. It’s rare to find someone who is well-inform,kind, and professional,and these qualities are reflected in every aspect of Jim's work

Jim Bitner is the BEST attorney. Stop looking! I was referred to Jim by another attorney for a refinance and now Jim Bitner has been my attorney for 7 years. I'm a doctor and the qualities that Jim possesses are the ones that I value most in people. He is honest, hardworking, extremely knowledgeable, forthright, and truly, truly cares about his clients. He will always go the extra mile to make himself available for his clients and listens thoughtfully to give the best path forward. He is the guiding light for any situation and you never will feel like a burden going to Jim, whether it be for real estate or otherwise. Additionally, his staff is so sweet! It's honestly an absolute joy when I have a legal question or need legal assistance because Jim and his staff treat you like family. You will never find a better attorney. Never.

Some years ago my family and I engaged the Real Estate settlement services of Mr. James Bitner. We were extremely pleased with his professionalism and accuracy in all matters pertaining to our settlement at the time. Recently, I again called on Mr. Bitner for help settling a complicated estate concern. He talked with me at length, giving me very good information, and then referred me to an attorney who could settle the matter I had presented. I found that Mr. Bitner was quite kind, compassionate and gave freely of his time. My family and I highly recommend the practice of Mr. James Bitner.

Very down-to earth lawyer. Willing to take the time to explain information in laymen's terms. Great personality.

I’m taking the time to write this review because I don’t want anyone to experience what I did. I retained Jim for a traffic violation. I had to clarify if he was representing me for months because I didn’t see him on my case. That didn’t happen until the week of my hearing. Once we got past that, my options for working with the prosecutor was also not clear. I have a perfect record so I didn’t understand why I would take a plea deal just to “get it over with.” I decided to take a deferred disposition until I completed a driver improvement class. Once that was done, things got interesting. Jim didn’t have his billing straight and I never received a bill at any point. He claimed I owed a certain amount and consistently threatened me to clear it. He wouldn’t send me a CC secure payment request and insisted that I provide my full CC number which I wasn’t comfortable with that as its PII. Please just be cautious if you decide to work with him. He is extremely rude and unprofessional
