James Lenihan

Mr. James’s practice is solely focused on fighting for justice and protecting the rights of those who need it most – in Criminal, Family or Civil Court.

James Lenihan fights for his clients in variety of cases that range from personal injury lawsuits, DWI criminal cases, divorce settlements, immigration status issues, civil disputes, contract/commercial litigation and much more in both State and Federal Courts.

Mr. James Lenihan opened his firm with the goal of doing all he could, even as a solo attorney, for his clients. Mr. James Lenihan initially focused on Criminal Defense in Santa Clara County, but his cases have taken him to other Bay Area Counties as well. In representing clients accused of crimes, Mr. James Lenihan saw that his clients also needed his help when they were wronged by the Police or Jail Guards. Mr. James Lenihan saw that his clients needed help not only in Criminal Court – but also when dealing with domestic violence issues or trying to keep custody of their children in Family Court. To help his clients, Mr. James Lenihan has expanded his practice to those areas as well.

Mr. James’s practice is solely focused on fighting for justice and protecting the rights of those who need it most – in Criminal, Family or Civil Court.

We’re Not Just Lawyers,
We’re Advocates For Justice And Right

The fact of the matter is that we enjoy using our expertise and resources to help people who don’t have the specialized knowledge to help themselves or, who don’t have the financial resources to take on the big insurance companies. We don’t practice criminal defense or family law. If you need a bankruptcy or estate planning lawyer, we’re not the right law firm for you. 

We treat our clients like family, and as far as we’re concerned, nothing is more important than family. Just as we would if we were helping a family member with his or her case, we will also tell you what we’ll do and then we’ll do it.

Lenihan & Associates, LLC

When it comes to providing legal malpractice expert opinion and testimony, there is no substitute for over 26+ years of experience, Hundreds of cases, and numerous arbitrations, mediations, court, and jury trials. Add to this all of the “factors” behind numerous testimonials, recommendations, and awards and you have a proven formula for success in your next legal malpractice case!

Frequently asked questions

Client Popular Question

Do you charge for a consultation?

No, we offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case. During this meeting, we will assess your situation, provide initial legal advice, and discuss potential fees and payment structures.

What about out-of-pocket fees?

We understand that legal expenses can be a concern. At our firm, we typically work on a contingency fee basis for personal injury cases. This means you won't have to pay any attorney's fees unless we win your case. However, for other types of cases, such as family law or business law, we may discuss different fee arrangements during the initial consultation.

Who will work on my case?

Lawyer James Lenihan will be assigned to handle your case. Mr. Lenihan is an experienced attorney with a proven track record in the area of law relevant to your case.

Does it matter how long I wait to file a lawsuit?

Yes, the timing of filing a lawsuit can be crucial. Statutes of limitations vary depending on the type of case and jurisdiction, and waiting too long may result in the loss of your legal rights. It's essential to consult with us as soon as possible to determine the appropriate timing for your case.

How much can I expect to win?

The potential outcome of your case depends on various factors, including the specific details of your case, the strength of your evidence, and the applicable laws. We cannot guarantee a specific amount, but we will work diligently to achieve the best possible outcome for you, whether that involves a settlement or court judgment. We'll discuss potential outcomes during our consultation.
