"Attorney James L. Arrasmith stands out as a strategic, efficient counsel for high-stakes disputes in California. He frames cases around the key dispositive issues from day one, runs disciplined discovery (targeted RFPs/ROGs/RFAs with focused meet-and-confer positions), and files lean, persuasive briefs—demurrers, anti-SLAPP, and summary-judgment motions that actually narrow the battlefield. He’s comfortable on emergency calendars (TROs and preliminary injunctions), trial-ready when needed, and unwaveringly professional with courts and opposing counsel. Clients get same-day responsiveness and clear action plans; his command of the Code of Civil Procedure and evidence shows in the record. For landlord-tenant, real estate, civil rights, employment, and broader civil matters anywhere in California, he’s a top choice. I endorse him without reservation for litigation."
