Jim has consistently provided us with clearly defined options backed by his extensive professional experience and comprehensive research together with highlighting practical considerations so that we could make powerful choices. He has been sourceful in referring issues to partners or others in his firm where additional experience or expertise has been required. Lastly, the invoices presented have been timely, accurate and easy to reconcile. Overall, Jim has provided an extraordinary level of service."
"Jim has represented my company and business partners for over two years with respect to a variety of litigation and transactional matters. On each matter, Jim has produced the result we desired, and has done so in an extremely thorough, efficient and professional manner. As an overseas client, I particularly appreciate Jim's responsiveness: he is always available irrespective of the time of day. He has a keen business sense and offers his clients practical options informed by years of experience. I highly recommend him for complex legal challenges requiring creative solutions."
