James E. Brightbill, Attorney at Law 1799 Akron Peninsula Road, Akron, OH 44313

"Mr. Brightbill was assigned as the Guardian Ad Litem for my children during my divorce case. The whole process is very emotional for the parent, but I am very impressed with Mr Brightbill. He listens, he is very thorough and truly does have the best interest for the children. I have two children who are special needs and he was wonderful with my children when he met them. My advice for any parent reading this is to hang in there, the process is not quick and is not easy, but you are in good hands with Mr. Brightbill."

"In my opinion, very uninvolved. Didn’t return multiple phone calls. I would not recommend to anyone. In my opinion, did not fight for what was wanted. In my opinion, just there to collect a paycheck. I would recommend looking else where for an attorney. Was court appointed in my case - if he is appointed in your case, I would recommend requesting someone else."

"I hired him during a custody issue. All I have to say is beware this man will not help you . My daughter was taken out of state and alienated from me during our custody battle while he never called back , never filed the paper work he said he was going to do , he even went so far to charge me for a draft motion he never sent . This man should have his law license evaluated under Ethics."

"As a GAL... Mr. Brightbill served our family as a GAL twice now. While I may not always emotionally agree with him, he has made the appropriate "best interest" recommendation for my children each time that he has been involved with us. I am grateful for that."

"Jim does a fantastic job! If you need any legal matters taken care of I would 100% recommend! He really knows what he is doing and will always do things in your best interests!"
