J.J. and his staff have been wonderful assisting both myself and friends in a balcony collapse.

The Law Office of J.J. Talbott and his assistant Holly were very good at working my case to get me the maximum amount of money that I was entitled to. J.J. always personally returned phone calls and explained to me in detail what we were doing along the way. Thank you so much for everything!Darcy C.

Recently I had a situation in which a low-quality roofing contractor would not pay me what was owed. I brought my case to JJ (he and I went to college together). I knew J.J. was a good guy. At the end of my case, which we won the full amount, J.J. sent me a transcript of his correspondence with the opposing counsel. I was able to read his interactions and understand clearly why we won. The case took a year to settle, these things do not happen overnight. My recommendation is to be patient and let the process play out naturally. You will be more satisfied with the service provided. JJ‘s team was awesome as well. Everybody responds to phone calls and emails. I really appreciated the timely correspondence. What I really appreciate is the low-quality roof contractor's stupidity and inability to be honest. They paid triple what they would’ve paid had they just been honest and paid me when I left. Some business owners are really dumb. Thanks J.J. and team. I appreciate you guys.Michael L.

Cases We Handle
At The Law Office of J.J. Talbott, we represent clients in a wide variety of legal matters. Here are some of the primary cases we handle:
Personal Injury
Personal injury cases involve any situation where someone’s negligent or intentional actions cause harm to another person.

Talbott is skilled at investigating accident scenes, gathering evidence, and representing you in negotiations or court to ensure you receive compensation for your injuries, vehicle damage, lost wages, and other related expenses.
