About James
Biography
I have extensive experience representing a diverse clientele with high-impact legal decisions in complex commercial and general litigation disputes, and advise clients on transactional/commercial matters. I take seriously the responsibility and privilege to pursue and defend the rights and interests of a diverse clientele—from construction companies to high-end antique car dealers, from event coordinators to trucking companies, from insurance agencies to associations of local governments.
I am known for my client-centered approach of conflict resolution, with a focus on effective, efficient, and responsive representation catered to each client’s specific needs. I am a driven achiever with a proven ability to succeed in a dynamic and challenging environment, both independently and collaboratively.
With an emphasis on a proactive working style with sound judgment and strategic thinking, my clients have benefited from my zealous advocacy and have described me as “an excellent advocate,” “impeccable,” “pivotal,” “responsive,” and “trustworthy."
Recognized by my peers as a Mountain States Super Lawyers “Rising Star” and by Utah Business Magazine as “Utah Legal Elite,” I am licensed to practice in Utah State and Federal Courts and in the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals.
