James Filippi
Principal AttorneyAs the founder and principal attorney of Filippi Law Firm, P.C., James Filippi pairs first hand public service experience with deep legal knowledge to protect what matters most to Californians.

- Estate Planning & Probate Litigation – revocable living trusts, wills, trust administration, and contested estate matters
- Real Estate Law – Land use and development, purchase and sale counseling, title issues, and easement/boundary disputes
- Small Business Law – entity formation, contracts, compliance, and risk management
Clients value his practical insight, drawn from years in real estate and from teaching trusts, estates, and civil procedure as an adjunct law professor. James is licensed to practice in California, Washington D.C., and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California, and he holds real estate broker licenses in both California and Florida.
