Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Our family was assisted by attorney James Magaha and his legal assistant Glennda Harold after a dear family member passed away. Mr. Magaha and Ms. Harold were knowledgeable, professional, practical, efficient, kind, patient, and compassionate in helping our family navigate the legal process and to pick up the pieces and carry on with updated legal documents. I highly recommend this practice.
Very responsive and knowledgeable. He was honest and gave me the truth I didn’t want to hear. Would recommend.
I worked with Mr. Magaha in the past so there was no hesitation to seek for his services once again. He was very accommodating when it came to his busy schedule and took the time to listen and answer all our questions and give us some key suggestions. He speaks to you as a person and not just as some other client.
I reviewed Martindale for a 5 star lawyer in Pensacola where my mother lives. Mr. Magaha was the third I called. The first was not real engaged, offered bare min. help. The second didn't call back, I left message with staff. I spoke to Mr. Magaha long distance first for my mom, he was engaged, interested and helpful. We retained him, my mom was also very happy with his services and with legal secretary Glenda. They followed up with paperwork promptly and as promised. I recommend!
Very mild mannered lawyer that makes his clients feel like he is glad to help them. No pressure, provides sound advice and very attentive to his clients needs. Down to earth and provides hands on service instead of relying on his secretary to do all of the work.
Very Knowledgeable and reassuring
