Our Practice Areas
Adoptions
Ms. James represents adoptive parents in agency adoptions throughout Central New York. Ours is a full-service law firm and we represent married and single adoptive parents, without regard to age, race, religion, nationality, gender or sexual orientation.
We cherish any opportunity to help the families of the Upstate New York secure their forever homes.
Personal Injury
Our firm has represented clients injured in motor vehicle accidents since 2006 and has recovered in excess of $3,000,000 on their behalf. The combination of on-the-ground accident investigation experience, along with the added experience of prosecuting those at fault and the professional contacts made during that time, make for the perfect background for helping injured New Yorkers recover the compensation and damages they deserve. We build on our years of collective experience for our clients and their right to seek a just and timely settlement.
Choosing which personal injury attorney will represent you is an important decision, and we offer a confidential, no obligation, no cost consultation to help you make that decision.
Real Estate
Our firm understands that buying or selling a home is one of the biggest financial and emotional decisions most people make during their lifetime. We have represented clients in the Finger Lakes area since 2005 in making that transition a smooth and worry-free process. We handle all aspects of the transaction including purchase offer and sales contract review and approval, title examination, survey analysis, document preparation, as well as coordinating, scheduling, and attending the closing.
