About Anthony James
Anthony James Dispoto began his professional life at the intersection of business and law. He earned a J.D. from the University of San Diego School of Law in 2015, concentrating on Business and Corporate Law. Before that he completed a B.A. in Business Management at California State University, Fullerton in 2012. Those credentials frame much of his approach: methodical, commercially minded, attentive to contract detail.
Dispoto moved quickly into in-house work after law school. In 2016 he served as Associate General Counsel and HR Director at Abrahama and Kevork, LLC. The role combined employment issues, corporate governance, and everyday transactional work. He handled internal compliance matters and supported HR processes. A year later he joined Cummins & White, LLP as an associate. At the firm he continued to build experience on the transactional side of business law and addressed disputes that arise from commercial relationships.
Over the course of those early roles Dispoto developed a steady practice profile. He works on contract drafting and negotiation, business entity matters, and employment-related concerns that affect small and mid-sized companies. He has experience advising on governance and on routine compliance issues that owners and managers face. His training in business management shapes how he frames legal risk for clients. He tends to present options in practical terms, rather than abstract legal theory.
Outside case files he participates in professional groups that keep him plugged into local practice and real estate trends. He has been a member of the Orange County Bar Association since 2016, and he joined the Urban Land Institute in 2018. Those memberships suggest an interest in regional business networks and land-use conversations, which often intersect with transactional and corporate matters handled at his firm.
Dispoto currently practices in California at Cummins & White, LLP. He applies his law school background in corporate law and his business undergraduate training to transactions, corporate governance, and employment issues that affect businesses in the region. His current practice focuses on corporate transactions, contract work, and employment-related legal matters for business clients.
