About James
Biography
I am a general practice attorney with an emphasis on business matters and landlord tenant matters in Spokane, Washington. I do not handle criminal or family law matters. My focus for small business representation includes entity formation, business transactions and corporate litigation. My landlord tenant practice is focused mainly on landlord representation including residential and commercial evictions, lease creation, and legal compliance issues.

Replied last February 28, 2012Whoever this is did not leave their name on the comment, so I have to assume that it is not actually a client of mine.
