See What Our Clients Are Saying:
“I used Jim and his practice to defend my divorce of thirty years back in the summer of 2021. I found Jim to be very direct in his communication, efficient in his methods and fair-minded in his practices. My settlement was reached within seven months of the date of separation and it was favorable from my point of view. Jim was careful not to over-promise and was mindful of how to stay on track and not get distracted by my emotions and unreasonable demands. He used his assistant Dorothy to handle many issues which helped keep down the costs and we moved through the process quickly and without error. It was clear to me that Jim makes a conscientious effort to keep his bills to a minimum by utilizing brief emails for communication when possible instead of dictating letters to be sent.”
“When a neighbor found out I was getting a divorce, she told me of her experience with Jim Siemens Law Firm and gave me his number. With tears in my eyes, I called him. I was feeling hurt, betrayed, and scared. Having to explain this to a stranger was humiliating. But Jim was kind and reassuring. He kept me grounded and focused on what we needed to do. He was professional and his knowledge of NC Law proved to be invaluable. Jim cares about his clients. He and his team are a family that works beautifully together. I would recommend him to anyone needing this kind of help.”
