About James A.

James A. Greer practices business law in Boulder, Colorado, where he is known for excellence since founding his own law office in 1988. A member of the Colorado bar since that same year, he also holds a license to practice in California. His firm specializes in business transactions, real estate law, and construction law, serving clients throughout the Boulder region. The office is strategically located in the heart of Boulder, allowing easy access for clients seeking legal guidance in these complex areas. Greer earned his Juris Doctor (J.D.) from the University of San Diego School of Law in 1986, with a focus on real estate and alternative dispute resolution.

Prior to his legal education, he completed a Master of Arts (M.A.) in Public Administration at the University of Iowa in 1981. His academic journey began with a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Economics and Political Science from the same institution in 1978. This robust educational background equips him with a solid foundation for navigating intricate business and real estate issues, making him a trusted advisor for his clients. Most of Greer’s practice involves advising clients on business transactions, including contracts and negotiations. He also represents clients in real estate disputes and construction litigation. Since 1996, he has served as an arbitrator, which enhances his ability to mediate disputes effectively.

His arbitration experience allows him to provide alternative solutions to litigation, particularly in cases that involve property disputes, contract breaches, and zoning issues. This skill set is particularly beneficial for clients seeking efficient resolutions to their legal challenges. Before establishing his law office, Greer worked as a real estate consultant in 2007, further deepening his understanding of the real estate market. His role as Chairman of the County Board of Zoning Appeals since 2015 has also enriched his insight into local zoning laws and regulations. This experience is invaluable when advising clients on compliance and zoning matters, ensuring they handle the requirements of local ordinances with confidence. In addition to his legal practice, Greer is a licensed general contractor.

This certification provides him with a practical understanding of the construction process, which greatly benefits clients involved in construction law. His dual expertise in law and construction makes him a unique resource for clients facing legal challenges in these areas. Committed to providing thorough and effective legal services, Greer’s experience in arbitration and mediation complements his practice. This lets the attorney resolve disputes efficiently while protecting his clients' interests in business and real estate law.
