I retained Jim for a marital separation and dissolution in 2015. it was a complex case involving multiple children and multiple residences. I found Jim to be extremely fair and honest in his dealings with me as well as dealings with my ex and her team. Jim is super thorough and skilled and didn't seem to be anything but prepared throughout the many salvos thrown at us by the very skilled attorney representing my ex. Jim is detail oriented and doesn't miss anything! In the end I was very satisfied with the outcome and wouldn't hesitate to refer Jim to anyone.

Jim Pardi, is anything but a swindler, hes the consummate professional who takes his title of Attorney or GAL extremely seriously. I had Jim as a GAL and read the reviews, I was like no way. Then I met him and realized he is what every GAL should be: 100% focused on the best interest of his ward (our kid), yes, Jim will tell you, your child is his ward and Jim will ensure that the child's best interest are always first. Jim was worth every cent, his attention to detail is second to none. If you are not comfortable being told what your flaws are and willing to embrace his recommendations, as they are made with the child's best interest, I suggest you give up custody of your child as Jim would never ever place his ward in a situation that wasn't best. If it's not what you want as a parent, listen and implement the changes that Jim will recommend, I promise you, show him you're willing to look in the mirror and be a better parent and you will have no problems with Jim. I'm a single dad and we all have the thought that the courts favor the mother, if Jim Pardi is your GAL, the only thing that matters is his ward, he doesn't show any bias and I would suggest you never BS him because he will call you out, be honest, own up to whatever mistakes you may have made in life and show who you are now and who you will continue to be as parent to his ward, you'll be pleased with the results.

Very professional and very knowledgeable about his practice. In my own personal opinion I’ve learned from him what I should expect from any attorney in this practice of law. I would personally recommend Mr Pardi for anyone planning on a seeking counsel in franklin county for a up coming martial or custody dispute, this is the attorney you need.

Jim is the consummate professional. As the assigned Guardian ad Litem, he spent considerable time with the child he was responsible for at both houses. He assessed the situation with the child's well-being always as most important. He was present for all court dates and active in the resolution. I highly recommend Jim as a Guardian ad Litem for ANY custody issue.
