Jim is extraordinarily productive, clear in thinking and presentation, has an unusual ability to define what is essential and communicate it in understandable terms, works smoothly and effectively with others, hires very good staff, and wastes no time on follow-ups. His professionalism and ethics are first-class. I have 40 years of experience working with lawyers on our company payroll and outside firms. Not only does Jim demonstrate the most relevant approach but also the most workable solutions. He has a unique ability to focus on matters at hand while also being very sensitive to the overall situation. Apart from being a master at his profession and commercial litigation, Jim is a real gentleman.
