About James Finn
James Finn Gavagan practices law in Massachusetts. He earned a J.D. from the University of New Hampshire School of Law in 2023. His academic record led him into courtroom work rather than a desk job. He moved quickly into litigation roles after completing law school.
Gavagan's early professional record includes a 2015 position at Colucci, Colucci & Marcus, where he served as an associate lawyer and managed the firm's tort department. That role put him in daily contact with courtroom procedure, client intake, and case strategy. It also meant balancing the demands of trial preparation with the administrative work of running a department.
In 2023 he opened his own firm, Gavagan Law, LLC, taking on the title of principal lawyer. The move to a solo practice followed several years of handling tort cases and trial matters. His decision to establish his own office reflects a desire to shape case priorities and control litigation strategy at every stage.
Gavagan is a current member of the State Bar of Massachusetts. He has also held membership in the Massachusetts Academy of Trial Lawyers since 2020. Those affiliations keep him connected to trial practice developments and to peers who litigate in state courts. Colleagues describe him as an attorney who prefers evidence and courtroom procedure over settlement by default.
His practice centers on tort litigation and civil trials in Massachusetts courts. He continues to take on cases that require courtroom advocacy and detailed discovery work. At Gavagan Law, LLC he handles client consultations, drafts pleadings, and leads trial preparation. He currently focuses on tort litigation and civil trial work in Massachusetts.
