A little about James D.
Saint
About my law firm
James' practice focuses on ‘rooftop law’; that is areas of the law in which most people will need legal help. This includes Family Law (Divorce, Custody, Child Support, CPS, and Juvenile cases), Criminal Law ( including traffic citations, drivers license hearings, DWI, etc.), Wills and Estate Documents, and Landlord-Tenant matters (including evictions and leases). However, help is available for other matters as well. Feel free to contact us if you have any legal matter and if we can not help you, we will point you in the right direction to find someone who can.
Personal Background
Born in Fort Worth (Harris hospital to be precise) and raised in Tarrant County, James has lived in the area for almost his entire life, except when attending college. James has much family in the area, and his sister is Dr. Anjonette Colvin, an Optometrist (Heritage Family Eyecare), also in the Keller-Fort Worth area.
