Attorney James J. Fishel is a member of the following professional organizations:

The California Bar
District of Columbia Bar Association
Florida Bar Association
America Bar Association


James Fishel is an experienced and dedicated juvenile attorney who has successfully handled more than 1000 juvenile cases. He has successfully represented children accused of crimes ranging from hate crimes, assault and battery, theft, robbery, gun possession, drug possession and sales,  and DUI charges.

James Fishel is the Managing Attorney at Fishel & Fishel. James graduated from the University of Florida Law School in 1985. He did his undergraduate studies at American University in Washington, D.C. James is a member of the bar in California, Florida and Washington, D.C. From 1985 through 1989, James practiced law in Washington, D.C. In 1990, he began his practice in Northern California. James loves being an attorney and enjoys helping people solve complicated and difficult problems. He is a very friendly and comfortable person. Therefore, his style reflects his personality. He likes to make his clients feel at ease when entering the office. If he is not appearing in court for the day, you will often find him in his office blue jeans instead of a suit. His goal is to make the process of finding solutions as pleasant as possible.


Few attorneys have dedicated their practice to juvenile law. Many Criminal Defense Attorneys focus their practice on adult cases.
Because of this, they often lack the experience to effectively represent children in juvenile court. Many rules and procedures in adult Court are different than Juvenile court. For instance, there is no right to a jury trial and there is no right to bail. Please hire an experienced Juvenile defense attorney. Your child's future and rights are at stake.
