Had the privilege of being referred to James Leestma. He had a clear understanding of my situation and gave excellent advice in a straightforward direct manner. If you need an honest guy that will do his utmost best for you, Mr Leestma is your man!

When it comes to legal matters, especially something as intricate and emotionally charged as probate, finding the right attorney can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. I had the unfortunate experience of hiring multiple attorneys to assist with my grandmother's probate, each one falling short of the mark. It was a frustrating and disheartening process, until I was fortunate enough to engage the services of James Leestma. Mr. Leestma stands out in a field that often feels overcrowded with mediocrity. From the moment we first consulted, his deep understanding of probate law was immediately evident. He was patient and understanding, qualities that are invaluable during such a stressful time. Unlike my previous experiences, Mr. Leestma took the time to walk me through every step of the process. He ensured that I understood the legal jargon and the various stages we had to go through, which was particularly important given the complexity of the case. The probate process in my case took over a year, a duration that might have felt insurmountable had it not been for Mr. Leestma’s unwavering support and expert guidance. His methodical approach and attention to detail were instrumental in navigating the numerous hurdles that arose. Where other attorneys faltered, Mr. Leestma excelled, demonstrating an exceptional level of diligence and tenacity. One of the most remarkable aspects of working with Mr. Leestma was his ability to communicate effectively. He was always accessible, providing timely updates and answering all my queries with patience and clarity. This level of service extended beyond just me; I have referred several friends and acquaintances to Mr. Leestma, and every single one of them has reported back with glowing reviews of their own experiences. His reputation for excellence is well-earned, and it is clear that he has a profound passion for his work and his clients. It baffles me to see any negative reviews about Mr. Leestma. As with any profession, it is impossible to please everyone, but my experience and the experiences of those I’ve referred to him have been nothing short of stellar. He is, quite simply, a rockstar in his field. His expertise, dedication, and compassionate approach make him the ideal choice for anyone seeking legal assistance with probate or any other legal matter. If you are looking for a quality attorney who knows his field inside and out and who will passionately advocate for your case, I cannot recommend James Leestma highly enough. He is not just an attorney; he is a true ally in navigating the complexities of the legal system. I am profoundly grateful for his representation and cannot imagine having gone through this challenging process without his expertise and support.

I'm a realtor and needed a probate attorney for clients. There were ten heirs of two side-by-side properties listed in the testator's will. The heirs wanted to sale but needed to clear probate court. I found an ad for James as I was actually researching something else on-line. Thought that it was Karma, so I called him. He was great. Very patient and waited to be paid at the close of both escrows that took an extraordinary six months to be exact. This was not due to probate court that cleared months earlier but the buyer's lender requirements. James would call me periodically to check on the closing date and eventually received payment, lol. He understood the process and agreed to settle his fees at the close of these escrows. Great experience. I will work with him again.
