I and eighteen other families were involved in a land dispute with a multi-national company twenty years ago. A Lawyer made a presentation to us saying it would cost well into six figures and we could lose. After much prayer, We, on two occasions, contacted a well-known law firm out of Montgomery, Alabama to represent us. They chose not to take our case but recommended Fob James in Birmingham saying there are three things about him which are: Number one: He is a Christian. Number two: He will not take your case unless he thinks you are right. Number three: If he takes your case, he will bite in like a Bull-dog and will not let go until you get the answer. We found these three things to be true, know our prayers were answered, as Fob negotiated on our behalf without having to go to court and eighteen families received fair market value for our homes and property. I highly recommend the Fob James Law Firm.

When one faces problems and must make difficult decisions, it is very difficult to find a law firm that helps and sees what is best for the client. I had the good fortune to meet Fob James, IV at the firm. With patience, time and personal effort, Fob took my car accident case as if I were part of the family, and not just another stranger in need of legal services. He fought for my case that lasted more than 4 years, without giving up for a moment. He followed my case as if it was personal to him. Fob made me feel safe. And of course, the great work and effort paid off. We won the case at trial! Thank you Fob for your professional work and friendship.

I was attacked by a dog and had a chunk of flesh bitten off. No one would take my case, so I called Fob as a last resort. Fob took the insurance company to court and got me policy limits. Fob made me feel important rather than a number. He truly cares about his clients. I can't speak highly enough of Fob James Law Firm.
