Alderson Law Firm

I would not recommend hiring the James Alderson firm to handle any personal injury case. The entire process was a nightmare from start to finish. Communication was extremely poor, staff rarely kept me updated, and I had to call multiple times just to get a response. The attorney often said one thing and then did the opposite when it came time to finalize the settlement. Isabel, his right-hand assistant, repeatedly provided misleading information, and I had to explain the same issues to her several times. Overall, the lack of professionalism and consistency was very frustrating. If you’re looking for a competent personal injury attorney, you’re better off seeking one outside the High Desert area. Don’t waste your time here. If you want to be treated with respect, understanding, and like your case truly matters, do thorough research before choosing and hiring any attorney.

Great attorney. Gets the job done.

Avoid James Alderson at All Costs! My experience with James Alderson as my attorney was an absolute nightmare. As a 24-year-old single mother needing legal help to navigate a custody situation, I trusted him, only to be completely taken advantage of. Not only did he lack any real communication, but he also belittled me and made incredibly hurtful and unprofessional remarks. He even went so far as to call me “ignorant” and tried to instill fear by saying I shouldn’t have custody of my daughter and that she should be taken away—all because I slapped my ex-husband in the face after he made horrible remarks about me and my daughter. The disrespect and lack of empathy were shocking. I initially hired James to help clarify custody details with my ex-husband, specifically regarding dates, holidays, and weekly schedules. But from the start, he twisted my trust. When I later informed his office that my ex-husband had filed a restraining order against me, I wasn’t seeking help for this—I only wanted him to be aware since he was my attorney. Despite this, James later claimed he “helped” the restraining order get dismissed (even though it had no grounds and wasn’t my reason for hiring him). When I reminded him that I’d only hired him for custody matters, he became dismissive, calling me “ignorant” and telling me he couldn’t represent me because of a misdemeanor on my record. He even suggested that I didn’t deserve custody of my daughter—an unbelievably hurtful and baseless statement. In short, James Alderson took advantage of my situation as a young mother, provided no real support, and was entirely unprofessional and judgmental. His lack of communication, combined with his condescending and manipulative tactics, made a difficult situation even harder. I would never recommend him to anyone. If you’re seeking a compassionate, competent attorney, steer clear of James Alderson. Don’t let him take advantage of you as he did to me.

My experience with Alderson Law Firm has been exceptionally helpful and pleasant in the matter of a not so pleasant situation. Christina, Isabelle and Mr. Alderson exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend them! Isabelle was genuine about her work and I never felt like I was a burden. Communication with Alderson Law Firm whether it was via email, phone call or in person, was also wonderful, helpful and punctual. Even after I dismissed representation I had a very great experience with Alderson Law Firm, Christina was very personable and understanding, she went the extra mile when it came to getting me the information I needed to submit to the court. I would highly recommend Alderson Law Firm to anyone looking to get treated with respect, understanding and getting resolution with the representation of a stellar attorney and staff! Thank you ALL for your support!

Called a few times regarding a case for civil rights and just had me waste time telling me to hold on the attorney would call me back after 3 pm and a few calls again to them told the same thing still waiting for them to call. He might be to busy for new cases.

I am very pleased with this office. I had some construction done that went south fast. James (Lawyer) took me the very next morning for my council and right away got working on my case. I am very grateful they were there to help me fix my problems I was having with a contractor. Right down to Isabel (Front desk/Phones) to the lawyer. They are all so wonderful and they truly want to help you. Especially when an injustice happens to good people. I recommend 100%... 10 stars
