About James

Biography

Mr. Culotta’s practice focuses on business law and compliance, business litigation and dispute resolution, as well as complex civil litigation including civil rights and employment discrimination, Qui Tam (citizen suits) matters and civil RICO.

In addition to our litigation experience, we provide civil mediation services to attorneys and their clients to assist in the resolution of matters without the time and expense of trial.

Culotta & Culotta LLP’s business services range from business formation and planning, including policy and handbook formation, to contract negotiation and drafting to mergers and acquisitions and other business transactions.

From both sides of a dispute, our attorneys have handled cases under Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, and similar state statutes.

With nearly six decades of litigation experience, Culotta & Culotta LLP provides its clients with the skill and capabilities necessary to succeed in the ever changing venue of the courtroom.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
