James Wm Stovall PC

Reviews

I've known Jim off and on since the early '80's - he's always been my favorite in the Valley - excellent attorney and his staff is outstanding...
I personally cannot recommend Stovall and Associates due to the poor quality of legal services I received. I feel that I paid for one of the associates to email people with a cadence that drove no call to action on any parties part, but generated healthy billing. nnI talked with Jim about this and he seemed very defensive and unwilling to listen or review the quality vs. Billing I was told that I reviewed and approved letters sent, but candidly I pretty much wrote them and they slightly revised and put on their letterhead. Iis their job to write a meaningful letter that has legal merit and approve the quality of it after spending all of the "case review" I paid for.nnVery disappointed.
I have used Jim for legal consultation since the 1980's. He has helped me with a number of real estate issues and his advice has been extremely helpful.
My husband and I met with Jim Stovall to revise some will documents. We sat with Jim, and he chatted about the process, his hobbies, etc. with us. He let us know that the process was simple, and it would only require a couple hours of their time. He continued to say that if it would need more than that, he would let us know. I was leaving the country, so we stressed the importance of getting it done relatively quickly (he had 5 weeks to revise our will--a standard form). We didn't receive a follow up until I asked about it, and then before we received ANYTHING, we were sent a bill for more than double what two hours of his time would have been--the initial meet and greet meeting was included in that bill. I'm sure they're a very competent firm; however, beware that they charge for everything. Jim set expectations that he did not meet. We felt swindled by his management of the entire process, but the rest of the staff was marvelous.
