About James
James Zakasky is an attorney who practices law in California from his own office. His career threads together a traditional legal education and long-term private practice. He is a current member of professional associations that serve lawyers in the state.
He earned a Bachelor of Arts in History from California State University — Sonoma State University (1991). He later returned to legal studies and received a Juris Doctor from Empire College of Law (2006). Those degrees bookend a period of life that moved from undergraduate study into law school and then into the practice of law.
After law school, Zakasky entered private practice in California. Over the years he has maintained an independent office, operating as the Law Office of James A. Zakasky. Running a single-attorney firm requires handling a wide range of tasks. He has managed client intake, case preparation, court appearances and transactional work from that base. The office has provided a stable platform for representing clients across matters that arise under state law.
Zakasky’s approach is shaped by the realities of small-firm practice. He combines case management, client counseling and courtroom work as circumstances require. That approach means shifting between negotiations, drafting and appearing in court. It also means advising individuals and small businesses on the practical implications of legal decisions. He maintains memberships in professional organizations and participates in the networks those groups provide for California lawyers.
Today Zakasky practices from the Law Office of James A. Zakasky, serving clients in California and handling matters that suit a small private practice structure. He continues to work from his office and represents clients under his California license.
