About James P.
James P. Haroutunian has led a Massachusetts law practice for more than two decades. He is the owner and principal lawyer of Priority Law Office, a firm he established in 2002 after operating under the name Haroutunian Law. The office serves local clients across the state and operates from a small firm structure that Haroutunian manages personally.
He earned his Juris Doctor from Suffolk University School of Law in 1999, having begun his legal studies a few years earlier. His legal education provided the foundation for a career spent practicing in Massachusetts courts and advising clients on matters that arise in everyday legal work.
After completing law school he began practicing in the commonwealth. Within a few years he launched his own practice, taking on both the advisory and administrative duties that come with running a one- or two-attorney firm. Since 2002 he has overseen casework, client intake, and the operational side of the office.
Those responsibilities have required him to shift regularly between client counseling, negotiating, and courtroom appearances. He handles the practical tasks small-firm owners face: drafting pleadings, preparing for hearings, and managing a caseload that reflects the needs of individual and business clients in Massachusetts. Colleagues and former clients describe him as steady in managing the day-to-day demands of practice.
Licensed to practice in Massachusetts, Haroutunian maintains a hands-on approach in the office. He combines direct client contact with the administrative duties of ownership. That mixture of practice and management is typical for solo and small-firm attorneys and shapes how he allocates time and resources at Priority Law Office.
Over the years his firm has operated under one name change, moving from Haroutunian Law to Priority Law Office, the name it uses today. He continues to operate the firm as its principal attorney. He currently maintains a private practice serving clients across Massachusetts.
