Jim Wald Law

Jim Wald and his associate John Hughes were more than helpful in creating a Trust for my husband and myself during my husband's illness. They were more than professional. They were thoughtful, kind and respectful of our circumstances. They offered information and guidance we would not have had access to if we handled it on our own. At the passing of my husband, they continued to provide guidance making a very difficult time less stressful for me and my family. I am forever grateful for having met them and will continue to seek their help in the future should the need arise. Janet C.

I’ve known Jim Wald for twenty years. I’ve worked with him personally and professionally. He thoroughly and caringly looks out for the best interest of his clients. I never hesitate to refer folk to him. Thank you Jim for your service, expertise and friendship. YCN

I was referred to Jim by a lawyer friend in my hometown of Farmington Hills. He had such high praise for Jim that I felt very comfortable in calling him to discuss my situation. He understood my situation quickly and had honest, straightforward action suggestions that impressed me to the point that I hired him to represent me and my daughter.
Jim kept in touch with us every step of the way, helping us on completing forms following up with the opposing attorney. We couldn't be more pleased with Jim's professionalism, reliability and sound advice throughout the process.
We highly recommend James Wald and would call upon him again in a heartbeat if the need ever arises.

I was referred by a friend to John and Jim. Although, my issue was not directly in their wheelhouse they promptly went above and beyond to assist me. Jim provided advise and guidance that resulted in a positive, full resolution for me. Their quick follow up and high level of integrity was refreshing. I would highly recommend their practice!

Received a show Cause Order from Oakland County Courthouse and was extremely unfamiliar with what a “Show Cause Order” meant. Was told to contact an attorney after speaking to several friends in the Judicial Profession. Was referred over to an attorney in Troy and in brief conversation over the “Order” the attorney wanted $2500-$3000 as a retainer. Was extremely disappointed and taken back by the attorney’s attitude and unprofessionalism when questioned why it would be so much. Quickly let this attorney go and then was referred over to Jim Wald & Associates. Spoke to Atty. Wald and briefly explained my situation (as I did with the previous attorney). Mr. Wald walked me thru the entire process without once first asking for any upfront monies. He then referred one of his associates (John Hughes) over to me and they contacted the court on my behalf to find out exactly what the situation entailed. They informed me that is was important me to attend this hearing but that I would be able to handle it on my own “at this point” but if things were to go forward then it would be good to have representation especially attorneys that are familiar with Oakland County Courts, it’s Judges, and their clerks (VERY IMPORTANT). Jim asked me to keep him abreast of the situation and even set an appointment up to do a minor debriefing to see if there was anything I overlooked while in court. My court time was all of 15 minutes. Exactly what Jim and John implied the time it would take. I COULD NOT HAVE BEEN more relieved and comfortable with BOTH Jim and John. Attorneys with INTEGRITY!!! They are MORE than worth what it would have cost me to retain them just for being COMPLETELY HONEST AND TRANSPARENT in the very beginning. I would HIGHLY recommend everyone to go and speak to Jim Wald and Associates!!!!

Very professional. Very personable. As a team approach, they handled our issues from start to finish, & gave us the best guidance with the upmost of care. They were a blessing to us through our situation!

My husband and I just wanted to say thank you to Jim Wald and John Hughes of JIM WALD LAW for their utmost professionalism.. We had just lost my father and were going thru so much we did not know what to do.. We had never had to do this before and were completely unknowledgeable in this matter.. But with their patience in explaining everything, and I do mean everything, to us to where we understood things, that it made it a lot easier.. John Hughes, who was extremely kind and patient with us as we gathered everything he needed to help us, along with our mountain of questions for him, we came away with the knowledge to know how to handle ours in the future. We will be back and have them handle ours.... Everything was handled in such a patient and a timely manner and with the utmost kindness that we absolutely would HIGHLY and I mean HIGHLY RECOMMEND JIM WALD LAW and JOHN HUGHES..
John Hughes thank you for everything.. You made our first time dealing with a lawyer a positive one we will never forget.. Thank you sincerely, John and Catherine Holtz
