About Jim
Jim Lucey practiced law in the Bay Area for more than three decades. He earned his Juris Doctor from the University of San Francisco School of Law in 1992 after completing a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration at the same university in 1987. Those local ties shaped the early arc of his career and kept him working in Northern California.
He began as an associate at the Law Offices of Duryea Jr. in 1992. Two years later he moved to Carr & Ferrell LLP, a position listed in 1994. Decades of work in private practice followed. In 2015 he operated under the name Law Offices of Jim Lucey, listing that firm while continuing to handle client matters. More recently he joined Tobener Ravenscroft LLP as a senior associate, a role that places him in the firm's Bay Area tenant practice groups.
Lucey’s resume shows steady movement through private practice rather than large leaps. He has worked both as a solo practitioner and as part of established firms. That mix of settings has given him regular courtroom exposure and repeated contact with clients across housing and landlord-tenant matters common to metropolitan areas.
Over the years he has maintained active professional memberships. He is licensed to practice in California and has built a practice connected to the region where he trained and studied. Clients who seek a lawyer familiar with Bay Area housing issues often find his name among the attorneys listed at Tobener Ravenscroft’s local offices.
Colleagues describe him as experienced in tenant representation and related housing disputes. He has handled matters that flow from residential leases, habitability claims, and eviction defense, among other tenant-side issues. His time running his own office gave him experience managing client relationships and case strategy across a range of housing disputes and administrative proceedings.
His recent practice is tied to Tobener Ravenscroft’s tenant law presence in San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose. He is based in the firm’s Bay Area offices and appears on listings for those locations. He continues to represent tenants and handle housing-related legal matters at Tobener Ravenscroft LLP.
