About James
James Phan is an attorney licensed to practice in both New Jersey and California. His practice reflects a cross-jurisdictional footprint that began publicly through professional memberships in national and state bar organizations.
Phan joined the California Bar Association and the American Bar Association in 2008. He added membership in the New Jersey Bar Association in 2015 and maintains active membership in all three organizations. Those affiliations mark long-standing ties to the legal communities on both coasts and provide regular channels for professional development and collegial exchange.
Public records list Phan’s professional practice as the Law Offices of James Phan, Inc. That firm name appears for two separate office listings. He operates in a private-practice setting rather than within a large firm or government agency, and his office listings suggest multiple points of contact for clients.
Over the years Phan has combined his dual-state licensing with work that crosses state lines. Being licensed in New Jersey and California allows him to accept matters that involve both jurisdictions and to advise clients who have interests in those states. Membership in the American Bar Association complements the state affiliations by connecting him to national trends and resources that inform practice on multistate issues.
Within his practice, Phan balances case work and client consultation. He manages client intake, prepares filings, and appears on matters that require counsel admitted in the relevant jurisdiction. Operating a small firm requires attention to both substantive legal tasks and the practical demands of running a practice, including client communication and case administration.
Colleagues and professional peers see his multiple bar memberships as part of a steady engagement with professional norms and continuing legal education. Those memberships do not signal any particular honors; they do reflect ongoing participation in organized bar activities and access to the tools those organizations provide.
Phan’s work is anchored in his firm, and he continues to maintain the Law Offices of James Phan, Inc. He handles matters that arise in both New Jersey and California and maintains active memberships in the California Bar Association, the New Jersey Bar Association, and the American Bar Association.
