About James
Biography
I have spent my entire legal career practicing law for the people of Ohio. Born in Waterbury, Connecticut, I attended college at the University of Connecticut, graduating with honors in 1966. I then enrolled in the Georgetown University Law Center and received my law degree in 1969. For more than 50 years, I have helped thousands of people fight for their rights.
I am COMMITTED! to getting results for all my clients as quickly as possible. I'm meticulous in preparation, aggressive in pursuit and unwavering in my passion to get my clients what they deserve. In most circumstances, I can get your case successfully resolved at mediation and avoid a lengthy trial. If your case does need to go to trial, I have a long and established track record of success.
I like to help people in all types of cases, big or small. I want you to call me so we can discuss your case. It will be my pleasure to speak with you and provide you with immediate feedback on how we can solve your legal issue.
