Experience Rooted in Service and Discipline

James’ legal foundation was shaped by his service in the United States Army JAG Corps, where he served on active duty from 1974 to 1977 and achieved the rank of Captain. That experience instilled in him a deep respect for discipline, responsibility, and the rule of law that continues to guide his practice. With 52 years in practice, James has handled a broad range of legal matters through a general practice, bringing extensive courtroom and jury trial experience to each case. 

Licensed in Ohio and Mississippi, he is known for his direct, straightforward approach and steady guidance through complex legal matters. He has also remained active in the legal community, serving as Past President of the Clark County Bar Association and being recognized as Boss of the Year by the Clark County Legal Secretaries Association.

Leadership in the Community

Beyond his legal work, James has long been committed to civic and conservation organizations. He has served as Past Chairman of Clark County Ducks Unlimited and Past Treasurer of Ohio Ducks Unlimited. He also serves as a board member of the Clark County Sportsman’s Club.

James remains closely connected to his family and community. Outside the office, he enjoys woodworking, collecting guitars, and spending time with his Labrador retrievers. His personal values of loyalty, craftsmanship, and dedication mirror the way he approaches his legal practice.
