James L. Hand
Firm Overview
I limit my practice to business and real estate litigation.
 
If we can, we will settle it early.  If the other side is being unreasonable, I have won many trials and arbitrations.
 
I have over twenty years of experience, following graduation from Stanford.  It is likely I've helped others with problems similar to yours.  I will personally handle your problem, not give it to support staff and an associate.
 
Integrity and Communication:  You may expect the highest levels of integrity from me.  Every good relationship needs trust and communication.  I will answer your questions and keep you informed of what I am doing and what remains to be done.
 
My office is conveniently located just off the I-580 freeway.  During a free half-hour consultation, I will provide you with an honest preliminary assessment of your situation and suggest a course of action.  We will discuss finances, so you know up front what to expect and can plan for it.  Some problems I am willing to litigate on a contingency-fee basis.  The law, and my skillful maneuvering, may require the other side to pay your attorney's fees.
 
I hope this has helped you to learn more about me.  The final ingredient in a successful professional relationship is, for lack of a better term, chemistry.  You need a lawyer to be competent, honest, effective, and to keep you informed.  But you also need to feel comfortable with me and I with you.  No web site can help there.  For that, I invite you to call me to schedule your consultation.  We can discuss your situation generally over the phone, then set up an appointment.  I look forward to hearing from you.
