  • Firm Accolades

September 6, 2023—The Daily Journal has recognized Firm Managing Partner, James W. Spertus, as one of the “Top 100 Lawyers in California.” This prestigious honor is a testament to James' unwavering commitment to excellence and his outstanding contributions to the field of law, particularly in the realm of White Collar & Commercial Litigation.

James Spertus has built an exceptional reputation as a passionate litigator, consistently achieving success in both federal and state courts. With a career marked by victories in high-stakes cases, his dedication to legal excellence is unmatched. The Daily Journal highlighted James’ recent victory in Sillas v. City of Los Angeles, et al., in which the Firm won a lawsuit aimed at stopping the LAPD’s unlawful practice of seizing property and withholding its return when no longer needed for evidentiary or forfeiture purposes.   

While James is known for his breadth of experience, he excels as a trial lawyer, a specialty not all litigators develop. He represents both large corporations and individuals in litigation, ensuring that each case receives the attention and expertise it deserves.

In addition to his litigation practice, since founding the Firm in 2006, James has built Spertus, Landes & Josephs, LLP into one of the premier litigation boutiques in the country.
