After law school James articled with a small firm in Glace Bay before relocating back to Halifax to be closer to his partner, Katelyn. James was a contractor for Bland and Associates Law and Notary Public before co-founding Fitch Violande in October of 2015. James has a general law practice but particularly enjoys helping people with matters relating to criminal defence, family law, personal injury law, and property law.
