James is highly skilled in addressing issues and formulating solutions for a wide range of real property matters, such as title defects, subdivision, mineral rights ownership and leasing, complex transactions, boundary line disputes, and access/right-of-way issues. Having worked closely with many attorneys over the years, James was excited to make the transition to become a part of The Law Offices of Daniel Knight, APLC and found that the same skill sets applied; intellectual curiosity and “outside the box” thinking coupled with a detail oriented, logical and methodical approach to serving the clients’ needs.

A lifelong Californian, James was born and raised in the central valley. After obtaining a B.S. in Economics from C.S.U.B. he began working in the title insurance industry. He has worked in the San Luis Obispo, Monterey, and the San Francisco bay areas before spreading to California and Texas with the law office. James was fortunate to be able to return home to the central valley to care for his mother during the last few years of her life. As a person who is committed to life-long learning, he was able to obtain a degree in human biology during that time.

Now, having been back in San Luis Obispo County for the last decade, James spends his leisure time exploring this remarkable area, building model rockets and wrangling slightly overweight cats he calls his pets. All while being lucky enough to have his son, daughter-in-law, grandson and stepdaughters nearby.
