I highly recommend James. He's knowledgeable, strategic, and fights hard for his clients. He gave prudent advice throughout my case, didn’t tolerate games, and stood up for me when it mattered most. He understands how the court system works, and you want him in your corner.

Even in a high-conflict situation, his strong advocacy and smart strategy helped us reach the settlement I wanted and avoid a costly trial. He's professional, responsive, and very reasonable with his billing.

Working with James at JEI Law has been an exceptional experience from start to finish. Not only is James a highly skilled family law attorney, but he’s also a strategic collaborator who took the time to understand every nuance of my case. His professionalism, communication, and dedication were unwavering throughout what was a very challenging time.

 What stood out most was his ability to truly listen, offer clear guidance, and fight for what mattered, not just legally but personally. The settlement outcome was a huge win, and I have no doubt it wouldn’t have been possible without James’s diligence and sharp legal insight. I sincerely appreciated the collaboration, transparency, and strength he brought to the table. If you’re looking for an attorney who genuinely has your back, James at JEI Law is the one to call.

I came in for a consultation with Mr. Iniguez during the summer of July 2022 in desperation. He understood the assignment as soon as I explained to him what was going on in the very early stages of my separation/divorce. He got me what I needed the most at my very first court hearing, and that was equal time with my children as I was being severely alienated. Mr. Iniguez has represented me for a little over 2.5 years. He has been very direct and personable; he understood what was happening immediately and has seen cases like this before. We had a great partnership and shared many jokes together even when I was a pain in the butt. He has a great team and has pulled me out of many situations that seemed impossible. I am deeply grateful for all that he has done for me, and I will never forget that.

James is a stellar attorney! He helped me with my child custody case thoroughly. His keen knowledge was well articulated which went a long way in getting me a satisfactory verdict. I felt valued all throughout and comfortable in letting him take the reins. This is your guy without a doubt.

James' experience lends him to being a strong advocate for single mothers. After several defeats in a litigious custody battle, I came to James with low expectations and had given up making a case to my lawyer about how terrible my ex was. I had gone from the fist-waving justice stage to the begging-for-mercy stage of my fight. James breathed new life into my case and didn’t need me to tell him much. He got the situation. He has guts, heart, and equal parts psychologist and justice hunter. I was shocked at how quickly he assessed the landscape of the case and the psychological mechanics of those involved. He found resources I didn’t know I had to use and eventually won the battle for me. I’ve referred him to all my closest friends. He’s got an unapologetic practicality (think backpack and sensible shoes with a suit) and intelligence that destabilizes the slick bully angle. He’s also hella funny at times.

Mr. Iniguez has proven to be very philanthropic over the years I have known him. His expertise in the legal field has assisted others I have known in their affairs. If he doesn’t feel he can give some resolution to your dilemma, he will graciously advise that other counsel is needed. His main concern is servicing his clients and serving them well.

James Iniguez is extremely competent, thorough, and efficient. He knew how to take the appropriate tone with the adversary, the judge, and me—certainly no easy task. He obtained the result that I and my children desperately needed. His rates were fair and his billing practices reasonable; he did not "churn" my matter. His staff is professional, attentive, and efficient. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend James to my family, friends, and colleagues. I am grateful that I had him in my corner.

James Iniguez is my hero! Yes lawyer number #6 as he was referred to...after a 10 year divorce/custody battle with a bully of the worst kind I have found a sense of peace. In my first conversation with James he gave me the confidence and support I needed to do something different. He was the change I needed! James knows family court and family law, he also knows people and has the intuition to help you make the "right" decision even though those decisions may be the hardest! James is smart, responsive, kind, fair he is a wonderful lawyer and a gentlemen.

James Iniguez is the only family lawyer I would recommend to people I care about. He will fight for you when no one else will, and he knows the system so he can do it effectively. He can do two important things at once: prioritize the best interest of your children and secure your finances. You can trust that he will do his job and cost you the least amount of money possible, other than some lawyers who will make as much money off of your problems as possible. You can also trust his judgement.
