    |   | 2/9/21 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | James Macdonnell Is a pathetic little man with no morales of professionalism.James misogynist emails accompanies his brash bold little man attitude. Ultimately his unprofessionalism and blatant lies cost him and his client. In the end I’m so happy my ex decided to hire this clown. He’s getting quite the reputation with judges in bc. You have to feel bad for the guy thro |   |  
    |  | 3/8/20 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | James is one of the sharpest and efficient lawyers I have encountered in my 20 years of doing business. He's a shark as a litigator and just as effective outside of the courtroom as he is inside. I have referred a number of people to James and everyone has been satisfied. |   |  
    |   | 3/6/20 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | James was terrific for me. Knowledgable and tenacious, I highly recommend him. |   |  
    |   | 9/12/18 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 3 | I hired this lawyer to represent me. At first, he seemed to be knowledgeable and high energy. It seemed like he is the type that would really represent you. He said he hates other lawyers because they charged you so much. The height of my case, he was not rechargeable. I ended up filing my own counterclaim and going to court without a counsel. Please stay away from this person. Very unprofessional, not organized, most of his paperwork looks like he just cut and paste from previous clients. I can tell you so many more negative things but it won't  fit here. He is full of crap and I hope he doesn't do this to his other clients. He doesn't even own his own office. His paralegal is even worst! |   |  
    |   | 8/10/18 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | If you want puss n boots this is not the guy for you. I have used his service and he is one of a kind. You have to use his service to know what i mean. MEAN is not something opposing councils like but getting the task at hand completed and setting the matter straight is what will happen |   |  
    |   | 9/8/17 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | This was the lawyer representing my ex husband. This review is of my Experience with him and is my opinion. I felt  he was too aggressive which  I understand can't be good however the problem with him is that it becomes unprofessional. He lets his emotions get away with him and often appears flustered and angry, that was my experience in our encounters from my perspective .  It's my opinion and experience That he was terrible at getting back to my counsel.  We often had to email several  times just to get a response and sometimes we got no response at all. In my opinion This type of lack of communication really hurt them in court because  we were able to demonstrate they were not  communicating well and the things that didn't need to go to the court had to unnecessarily.  It is my recollection that His court paperwork was almost always submitted late.  My ex-husband has gone through several lawyers and this one by far has had the worst communication in my opinion, he does not seem comm |   |  |  |
