James is truly and honestly an amazing lawyer! I attained the results we set out to accomplish and the mentorship he gave me along the way will never be forgotten. His fees are very reasonable, especially for the high level representation. I've had lawyers for other purposes that have a "reasonable rate" and choke you 15 minutes at a time on over-inflated tasks. My little family's stability is largely because of the efforts of James Bristol. Thank you 🫶🏼Read more

I started working with James Bristol about 11 years ago. He is an amazing and caring person and very professional and experienced attorney. He will deliver the tough truth and advice with empathy and will counsel the clients on what's best for the children, the family and their case. James Bristol has honorable professional and personal principles. Attorney's time is precious and expensive, so use it wisely. I would certainly recommend James Bristol to anyone needing family law counsel and is looking for an effective, hardworking, experienced, professional and compassionate attorney.Read more

James Bristol is much more that a skilled,professional and expeirenced attorney. He s one of the most sensitive human beings i have ever met. His ability to empathize with his clients is extraordinary. Last summer James and myself sat for an entire day together, in a divorce mediation. He was not only patience and pragmatic, with me as his client, but also firm and frank when necessary, with me. The reality is that no one gets everything they want in a mediation, nor ultimately a divorce....which often is where mediation is used. It s a give and take. I believe that James training as a monk, is a huge part of his ability to actively listen, and find practical solutions to sometimes difficult problems,while at the same time, taking a strong stance and not wavering. James will go above and beyond with his clients.....and he also knows how to "hold his clients" hands, when things get rocky He also has the coolest law office in Santa Fe! Finally, James s office support colleague Marilyn is a gem of a human being.Read more

Divorce was one of the scariest and hardest times of my life. I wanted to start with mediation but I was hesitant because my ex-husband made a lot of threats. I was scare to meet with a mediator because I thought my ex-husband would bully me if I didn’t have my own lawyer present. The first time I met with James, he recognized my fears and anxiety annd immediately put me at ease. From the first meeting with James, he set down boundaries and was able to help us navigate a fair divorce without having to go through the court system. It made our divorce less expensive and faster than my other friends going through the courts. We also were able to make decision best for our family instead of courts deciding. I highly recommend James and Marilyn to work with if you are in need of mediation.Read more
