About James
Biography
Family law attorneys are notorious for costing a fortune. I understand that a divorce should not require you to spend your life savings, which is why I provide free consultations to all clients.
Currently: I focus my practice on Family and Divorce Law, Commercial Transactions, and General Business-Related Law. My diverse practice helps me think of creative solutions to solve problems within my client's cases. I enjoy working hands on with clients in order to achieve optimal outcomes. Keeping the client informed in every step of the process is crucial to my practice. I pride myself on providing affordable representation to clients, I do not believe a client should have to go bankrupt in order to protect their rights.
My Bio: I began my legal career working at a firm that specialized in family law, before joining the offices of Lewis Hansen. I am in good standing as a member of the Utah State Bar and its family law, and litigation sections.
Graduated from the University of Utah, where I earned a bachelor’s degree in English. After completing my undergraduate degree, I obtained my law degree from Gonzaga University School of Law. While at school I worked in the Legal Clinic in the Environmental Law section. I also returned to Utah each summer to intern at various large law firms.
Outside of my law practice, I enjoy spending time with my wife and child, camping, hiking, golf, and basketball. I'm also fluent in Norwegian.
Flexible Retainer Fees: I will work with clients with retainer fees. I understand not everyone can afford the high retainer fees that many firms require before beginning a case.

JD is a life saver
JD provides valuable insight to our company. He was able to help us solve problems that we were not even aware of and over all help our company refine contracts and tie up loopholes that we did not know existed.

Responsive and Straightforward
While hiring a lawyer is usually never for a fun reason, I can say very honestly that Mr. Lewis has been great to work with. In addition to being highly responsive, he was also very straightforward when he was communicating our legal options. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
