After firing my last lawyer and being recommended to James Hortman I can honestly say he did an amazing job. With settling my injury case. Would recommend 10/10

I hired this attorney to handle my annulment case. Unfortunately, my personal experience was disappointing. From the beginning, communication did not meet my expectations.

When I met James to pay the retainer, his appearance was much more casual than I anticipated for a professional legal meeting, which affected my initial confidence. I was told my case would likely be completed within approximately two months if there were no complications. It has now been over four and a half months, with the other party complying, and the case is still ongoing.

During the process, I received information that later appeared inconsistent, and when I asked for clarification, I felt the responses were dismissive and unprofessional in tone.

Due to ongoing concerns about professionalism and a lack of transparency, I decided to terminate the representation. This led to additional stress and delays during an already difficult personal situation.

Based on my personal experience, I would not recommend this attorney.
