He could not even get my name correct, he had my name wrong on two drafts of my divorce papers, then he misspelled my name. I sent to him multiple times in an email and I finally had to send him a copy of my DL so he could get it. He has the nerve to say I would not agree or sign, seriously, I would think my name needs to be correct on a legal document such as divorce papers, I would hate to find out ten years later and find out I am not divorced because the attorney used the wrong name

Never trust an attorney unless they are representing you. I had a simple divorce, nothing to fight over. James Giries listed my name incorrectly 2 different ways on my divorce papers. I would think my name should be correct on a legal document, he told me several times "it's fine, just sign it". I refused no matter how badly I wanted this divorce to be over, I felt my name should be correct and spelled correctly. I did not want it to be 10 years later and find out my divorce was not valid because my name was listed wrong. He finally got my name right after I sent him a copy of my DL. I signed it. a few weeks go by and I get a copy in the mail and he swapped out page 8. It originally had an order to change my name back to my maiden name but he said since I wanted my name correctly listed on my divorce he had to remove that. Not very competent if you can't get something as simple as my name right then get sneaky and switch the documents. VERY UNETHICAL

If I ever need to get another divorce I know who to call. . Great attorney for divorce and custody.

James Giries has the knowledge, expertise and compassion that it takes to successfully work with people to come to solutions. He is a legal asset and I would not hesitate to call on him or retain his services. Complete trust in his advice and competence of legal knowledge.

Run. Very terrible. Almost lost everything because of him. Guys like him give attorneys a bad name. Run.

We hired Mr. Giries to do a simple child support modification, who assured us it would be a simple and fairly easy process, especially since I had done most of the leg work myself (I drafted the petition to modify, filled out all of the paperwork, Bullet pointed what we wanted modified, etc.) 13 months later, after 5 months of no contact from Mr. Giries, we find out our case was over, he agreed to things in the modification that did not have my boyfriends consent, and he kept asking for money when he did finally call back. He never informed us of hearing dates, and told us if we wanted to know what happened at the hearing, we can order the transcript from the court reporter. If this isnt MALPRACTICE, I dont know what is, but a bar complaint or grievance is in the works, as we are now ordered by the court to pay more than what we initially were, and my boyfriend makes less than what he did, which was the whole purpose of doing a modification. If you are looking for a good attorney, PLEASE DO NOT HIRE MR. GIRIES. He will never call you back. He will take your money. And he wont let you know about your case until its closed!
