About James
Biography
Experienced family law attorney, handling child custody, child support, and protection from abuse hearings (but not divorce). As I am expanding into family law again, I am charging very affordable flat rates to build up clientele--and I will earn your referrals to family and friends. I know how to be professional and resolve nasty situations with parents, but also be extremely tough when necessary. Do it right, and call me today.
Also a published author, with two acclaimed books on the socio-history of rock music.
