About James
Biography
If you want the best possible legal representation, you may be tempted to go with a big, expensive law firm in some fancy high-rise office. That's where the best attorneys are, right? Wrong. If you want great representation -- and for the price of terrible representation -- you should hire me. I'm a lone wolf who has survived and thrived with cunning and guile. I make the magic happen from my comfortable home office on Summit Avenue in Saint Paul. Contact me through Avvo and I'll give you a free consult.

Great help!
