Hard worker
Do not, I repeat do not hire him. He took a $1500 retainer, showed up to court one time with outstanding legalities needing resolved. He said he would refund the difference. Then after multiple attempts to contact him with the ongoing legal matters, he would constantly put you off to the point of not returning your calls or emails. I heard multiple excuses with delayed responses in the beginning. Sick, out of state, sick again, out of state again. Almost as if it’s routine as to what day of the week it is what excuse he has for his clients that day. He’s a ripoff and needs to be reported for taking your money and not providing the agreed services. He also never sent one invoice or receipt of anything, even after asking. Shady shady unprofessional guy.
Jim is a noteworthy attorney. Very aggressive in him call to duties!

Do not hire this guy! Old, lazy, never prepared for court. One court date he didn't even show up. Never answers his phone. Doesn't discuss the case very well. Very over paid bougie lawyer you can get everywhere else.

Very disrespectful, not too smart either. He tries real hard to use intimidation tactics by cussing and screaming at people as well as calling them names and his secretary is giggle and laughing while he does so. Don’t hire this guy because he will make you look stupid

If you value your time & money, stay as far away from James Pappas as possible. He is a compulsive liar & a thief. The lack of professionalism & immaturity that he exhibits in his businesses is simply unbelievable.
