James MaGee, Attorney - Moses Lake, Washington

James is an amazing attorney! He is very personable, compassionate, and down to earth person. You can tell how much he really cares about your case, because he gets on top of things right away and knows how to get the job done. He gets straight to the point and gives you all your options and advice up front. I had a hearing on Tuesday and I called James the Friday before and he got right to it, filing all required paper work before the end of Friday. He even skipped his ski trip over the weekend to work on my case because he cared so much. He was able to get my restraining order dismissed in under 10 min from the time the hearing started. He is my first attorney I've ever had, and I couldn't ask for a better and more professional family law attorney. Thank you James!!

James MaGee, Attorney, helped me tremendously with modifications to my parenting plan. My children's mother moved to a town 60 miles away, without proper notifications, submitted a modified parenting plan that resulted in a net decrease of my time with the kids by 30% and with her background working as a court administrator was able to submit a mountain of paperwork that had the judge agreeing with her it was all a great idea; despite the fact that it violated my rights as a father and state laws about relocating with children. Mr. Magee was able to quickly sort through the nonsense and During the process he was able to vacate a restraining order against me by effectively demonstrating that my ex was the High Conflict individual and had abused court resources to secure it. Mr. Magee was so successful in thwarting my ex with her various attempts to exhaust the courts that she actually filed a BAR grievance against him out of frustration. Later deemed completely unfounded by the BAR Association it speaks volumes to her character for taking those steps and even more volumes for James' character at how he remained calm, took it all in stride and never lost focus of the main goal: get a parenting plan that is best for the kids, not for one parent out for convenience sake.

I greatly appreciate James MaGee and how he came in as a champion for my case. I strongly recommend him to anybody that needs someone in their corner with compassion the client and passion for work

I've had other attorneys who have fought hard for me as well but what made James different was his additional info he provided on the side, to help me better handle understand and deal with my situation.

If your reading this review, just reach out to him. He's an attorney worth his salt. Extremely knowledge on laws but also on judges in the area. If you're needing a good attorney who is straight to the point but at the same time able to give advise so you don't feel like your alone, James is your guy.

My review isnt based on Mr. MaGee as my attorney, but my interactions with his professionalism and how he handled a case for my brother as he was assigned several cases. First off I will say he is a strong salesman and presents himself to be amazing with accomplishments. Once he got his retainer, he didn't live up to the expectations he set forth in the beginning. He would start tasks and bill for them, even when they weren't requested. He went over my brother's head multiple times. During one of the meetings between Mr. MaGee, my brother and I, he began to discuss other people's cases and had other people's case documents open on his desk in piles with names and sensitive data out. He showed up to court frantic, unprepared and sloppily dressed. My mom and I got documents to him on time and he failed to get them to the courts on time. The judge even made a comment about how unprepared and how the late documents couldn't be submitted, but oh yes did that time get billed to my brother. Again this is my perspective of Mr. MaGee as a professional and how I personally saw him handle, interact and almost hurt my brother's case. Luckily the defendant dropped the case and then the head attorney Mr. McKean was able to salvage the remainder of his case and help fix the multiple over billings in time and expenses that got used against my brother's full retainer paid up front. In my opinion I wouldn't go back and hire him again.

Mr. MaGee won two cases for me - an ex girlfriend filed for a bogus restraining order against me. Mr. MaGeewent to court and seemed very well respected by the judge. My ex girlfriend (and her attorney) lost. Then the same ex girlfriend turned around and sued me claiming I owed her over $20,000. Mr. MaGee took that case on, too, and won. I paid zip to the gold digging nut case. By the way, I was referred to Mr. MaGee by a very established and aggressive local attorney - he said Mr. MaGee could do the job - and the referring lawyer was 100% right. Legal fees are never cheap, and I had a bill for sure. But Mr. MaGee never dropped the ball, made every hearing, responded to every challenge and I feel well served. And Mr. MaGee sports one mean bow tie, too…

Where do I begin. First off James is the most down to earth attorney and person I’ve ever met, a working man’s attorney. Our first conversation, not consultation, cut to brass tacks no B.S. and empty promises just “hey I can do this”. He’s honest, upfront, and reasonable. I just can’t say enough about how personable and upfront Mr MaGee is about whatever situation is brought to him. The best part is that when I DIDNT need him there was no hard feelings and he encouraged me to take the route that eliminates him, costing him my business but earning him my trust as a future client. There’s nobody else I’ll trust when it comes to family law and financial law. Big town attitude with a small town persona. You won’t regret using him.

Worst attorney you can get... Super over priced, unprofessional and not organized at all! I seen responses to other bad reviews saying this client never worked with this law office. I can assure you I paid James several thousands of dollars to do nothing. He used to work for Mckean law. He showed up to court late, didn't put in documents to the judge 48 hours in advance like he was supposed to. When he got to court his shirt was untucked his tie was sideways he look like a clown. He also ran up the time on his hours.. Just looking out for everyone else please don't get screwed by this guy like I did!.... JAMES YOU HAD A RETAINER PAID IN CASH 5,500 👍🤣 YOU WERE THE ONE WHO OWED ME MONEY UNTIL MCKEAN CUT ME A CHECK FOR HALF. Still more then you deserved. Your response only proves my point that you are very unprofessional. The way you try to belittle me with fake stuff in your response, thats exactly why I want people to know my experience with you was 👎👎.. ps i dont have a sister 🤣Shannon is my mom you dummy

Mr. Magee is a very professional and responsive attorney. If you need help in Divorce or Family law... HE is your man!!!! My 80 year old Uncle was blind sided by a Pilipino GOLD DIGGER!!!! After spending over $60K to get her and her kids moved to the U.S. she cheated on him. Mr. Magee was able to help him with his divorce and is getting his money back from this 'GOLD DIGGER' of a female. Mr. Magee believes in what is right and will fight for you and that is what he did for my Uncle, Thank God!! I am not sure where my Uncle would be right now if it wasn't for James having his back and for all of his help! He answers his phone calls too and that is really rare from an attorney, especially one like him. He will be dedicated to you! Call him today. He does bankruptcies also!
