About James
James King earned his Juris Doctor from San Fernando Valley College of Law in 1978. He completed his legal education at a time when the profession was changing fast. Courtrooms were getting more complex. New statutory frameworks were emerging. The degree marked the start of a long legal career.
He went straight into practice after law school and has worked in the field for many years. Over time his work has crossed a range of matters and client needs. He has experience counseling individuals and businesses, handling procedural and substantive questions, and guiding clients through dispute resolution processes. His career has required adapting to new rules and technologies, and to the shifting priorities of clients and courts.
King's approach is pragmatic. He aims to clarify options and lay out consequences. He writes plainly when preparing documents and tries to be direct in client conversations. Colleagues describe him as someone who prefers concrete solutions over elaborate theory. That style has shaped the way he manages cases and communicates with clients.
Throughout his work he has dealt with both routine and complex issues. He has navigated pleadings, negotiations, evidentiary challenges, and settlement discussions. He has also handled transactional tasks and regulatory questions as they arose. The variety has given him a broad view of how legal problems unfold in practice and what clients need at each stage.
Outside the courtroom and office, King has kept an eye on the legal profession itself. He has observed how court procedures, discovery practices, and legal research tools have evolved. Those observations have informed the way he prepares for trial and structures client matters. He emphasizes organization and practical planning when assembling a case file or drafting agreements.
As of 2026 he continues to practice law and takes on client work from his practice, concentrating on providing direct legal services to individuals and organizations. He remains active in managing client matters and addressing the practical problems they bring to his office.
