As a public service, James represents criminal defendants in federal court.
Before attending the University of Pennsylvania Law School, James worked as a systems engineer for a large telecommunications company and as a technical advisor and patent agent at Morgan & Finnegan.
James is a member of the Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers.
