About James
Biography
When I am not defending my clients charged with criminal offenses, I like to travel. A couple of years ago my wife and I went to Italy for a couple of weeks (first time) and had such a great time we would go back in a heart-beat. In my spare time, I paint landscapes and building scapes in oil or acrylic. I'm a usual contributor to the annual Men's Invitational art show at a local gallery. But, mostly, I enjoy trying a good criminal case.
