About Joseph D.
Joseph D. Bussone built a career in California law that moves between private practice and firm work. He has worked as a solo practitioner and inside established firms. Over four decades he returned repeatedly to his own office, balancing the autonomy of solo practice with the resources of larger teams.
He earned a Bachelor of Arts from Loyola University Chicago in 1976, followed by an MBA from the same institution in 1979. He then completed his legal training at Southwestern University School of Law, receiving his J.D. in 1982. Those academic years combined business training and legal study, a background he carried into his professional life.
Bussone began his post-law school career in firm practice. Records show he worked at Gilbert, Kelly, Crowley & Jennett, LLP in 1983, then at Bottum, Rady & Feliton in 1984. He opened his own practice in 1986, returning to solo work after early firm experience. The late 1990s and early 2000s saw him back in firm settings, including a stint at Gilbert, Kelly, Crowley & Jennett, LLP in 1998, then at Gauntlett & Associates in 2002 and LaFollette, Johnson, DeHaas, Fesler & Ames in 2003. In 2010 he again established the Law Office of Joseph D. Bussone, leading that practice through the past decade.
Those moves illustrate a professional comfortable both running a small office and handling the collaborative demands of larger firms. Colleagues and public records reflect steady practice rather than abrupt specialty shifts. He has spent much of his career representing clients in matters that require direct client contact, file management and courtroom or administrative proceedings when needed. The combination of an MBA and a law degree informed how he managed practice operations as well as client matters.
Today Bussone operates the Law Office of Joseph D. Bussone in California. He continues to serve clients through his private practice, applying experience from years in both firm and solo environments. He concentrates his current practice through the Law Office of Joseph D. Bussone, serving clients in California.
