About James D.
James D. Kisio has practiced law across state lines and through several phases of the legal market. He is the kind of lawyer who prefers steady work over headlines. That approach shows in a career that balances courtroom time and client counseling.
Kisio earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Houston Law Center in 1987. He completed his legal studies at a time when the Houston legal community was expanding rapidly. The year on his diploma places him among a generation of lawyers who moved into private practice during the late 1980s and early 1990s.
He is admitted to practice in Texas and Florida. Those dual admissions allow him to take cases and advise clients on matters that cross state boundaries. In 2017 he joined Bogin, Munns & Munns as a lawyer. His role at the firm ties him to a team that handles a variety of matters across jurisdictions.
At the firm, Kisio handles matters that require coordination between different courts and regulatory systems. He appears in state forums where his licenses allow and works with colleagues when a matter has multi-state elements. He balances written advocacy and in-person representation. He prepares filings, manages discovery, and presents arguments when cases move to hearings or trial.
Colleagues describe him as methodical in preparation. He favors clear organization and steady follow-through. That steadiness informs how he approaches complex procedural issues and client communications. He is comfortable translating legal technicalities into plain language for clients who need practical guidance rather than legal theory.
Outside of the office, Kisio maintains professional connections in the bar and local legal community. Those ties provide a network of resources when a matter requires specialists or local counsel in another jurisdiction. He has navigated matters that involve multiple sets of rules and deadlines, and he leans on collaboration when a case demands it.
Clients who work with Kisio should expect deliberate case management and attention to procedural detail. He works through issues in a step-by-step manner and frames options clearly. He joined Bogin, Munns & Munns in 2017 and continues to practice there, handling matters in Texas and Florida.
