Normally I would not comment on things like this, however my son had a very bad experience with Andrea James. She charged $5500 and actually got nothing resolved for him. We ended up having to hire another attorney to finish the case because her fees for miscellaneous things ate up the $5500. Each email (one-two line emails) were billed at $75, unanswered phone calls were billed at $75, etc...
This divorce case involved no real estate, no assets. There was only one child involved and the terms of custody had already been negotiated; we only needed to pin down the visitation schedule. All other matters had been decided.
She was hired to represent my son in mediation; however during negotiations she got mad at the other party's counteroffer and stopped negotiations and walked out. I know for a fact that the other party came to mediation with intentions of settling this matter. I realize now it was to her benefit to go to court because she was going to charge another $7500 to represent him in court.
I would highly recommend Gaines West and ANYONE ELSE but Andrea James.
