An exceptional advocate in a complex employment dispute

When I faced a complex wrongful termination claim from a former executive, I was referred to Jeff James. His 22 years of focused experience in labor and employment litigation were immediately apparent. Jeff meticulously analyzed the situation, explaining the nuances of Washington employment law with clarity. His counsel was strategic and pragmatic, avoiding unnecessary escalation while preparing a formidable defense. His recognition in publications like Best Lawyers was well-earned. The case settled favorably before trial, saving significant time and resources. Jeff’s dedication and deep knowledge, honed over decades at Sebris Busto James, provided immense reassurance during a stressful period. I cannot recommend him highly enough for management-side employment matters.
