3 Years of James Going Above and Beyond

A Quiet Force Behind the Scenes

When someone consistently shows up for you—not for recognition or praise, but simply because they care—you remember it.

Before James officially joined The Button Law Firm team in 2022, he had already made a lasting impression. Elizabeth, our COO, remembers it clearly: she had just started at the firm and needed a ride to the airport. Without hesitation, James offered to take her. She said, “He wasn’t even on the team yet. He was just someone willing to help—no questions asked. That told me everything I needed to know about him.”

That small moment perfectly foreshadowed the kind of team member James would become.

The One Everyone Counts On

Three years later, James isn’t just our operations assistant—he’s the go-to person for just about everything. Whether it’s a last-minute errand, an office need, or a complicated logistical puzzle, James handles it. No drama. No delay. Just quiet action and total follow-through.

And when you ask him to do something? His answer is always the same: “Consider it done.” It’s not a catchphrase—it’s a promise. One he’s kept, every day, for the last three years.

Supporting the Team and Our Clients

James’ role touches nearly every part of the firm, often in ways people don’t even see. He helps clients feel supported, keeps our team running smoothly, and fills in the gaps before they ever become problems. Ask anyone at BLF and they’ll tell you: James is someone you can always count on.

Ashley, our managing partner, shared a moment that perfectly captures James’ heart. Our team had been at a hospital visiting a family whose child was in the ICU. It was a heavy day. The family had been at the hospital for more than 24 hours without a proper meal. James didn’t wait to be asked. He quietly left the hospital, picked up barbecue, and went out of his way to track down the family’s favorite root beer—visiting multiple stores just to find it. Then he navigated hospital security and an over-the-limit visitors list just to bring the food upstairs.

Ashley said, “It changed everything. It gave the family and our team comfort in the middle of something incredibly hard. James just saw what needed to be done and made it happen.”

A True Helper at Heart

That hospital moment isn’t the only time James has gone above and beyond—it’s just one example of the kind of care he brings to every task, big or small.

As Elizabeth puts it, “He’s a true helper. Whether scanning a document or helping a team member install a license plate, he always jumps in. Whatever we need, James is the one we trust to handle it—with care and with a smile.”

Even minor tasks aren’t small in James’ world. They’re part of keeping everything—and everyone—moving forward. That consistency is what makes him so essential to our team.

A Legacy of Humility, Grace, and Reliability

Russell Button, our founding attorney, says, “James is the team member everyone hopes for. He never seeks credit, but he deserves all of it. Every time something runs smoothly at BLF, you can bet James had a hand in it. His work ethic, his attitude, and his heart are what set him apart. When he says, ‘Consider it done,’ we know we’re in good hands.”

What makes James so special isn’t just that he helps—it’s how he helps. With humility. With grace. With complete reliability. He shows up when it matters, thinks ahead, and always has your back.

Cheers to 3 Years

As we celebrate James’ 3-year anniversary with BLF, we want to say thank you—not just for the work he’s done but for the kind of person he is. The kind of person who makes a difference in ways that can’t always be measured, but are always felt.

Here’s to you, James. Happy anniversary. And as always—consider it done.
