Testimonials
"Recently, on the behalf of others, I've had the pleasure of working with Attorney David James. I am very impressed with his knowledge of WI law concerning Power of Attorney and Advanced Directives. David initiated and conducted group meetings (both Team Meetings and in person) for all parties involved. As a leader, David is clear and concise, responding to all questions calmy and politely, and he explains legal terms carefully so everyone present can understand." A.H.
