What the Firm Does
Hann Law Firm is a San Jose practice focused on five areas: personal injury, family law, criminal defense, business law, and civil litigation. Because most legal trouble refuses to stay in a single tidy category, a firm that works across all five can see the whole problem instead of a slice of it.

Personal Injury
James handles personal injury cases from intake to resolution: car crashes, falls, and other injuries caused by someone else’s negligence.

Family Law
Because divorce and custody decisions shape years of a family’s life, they get the same direct-attorney attention as everything else this firm handles.

Criminal Defense
Santa Clara County criminal charges move fast, and the defense has to start immediately, while the record against you is still being made. James takes those cases directly.

Business Law
An attorney who has drafted contracts and litigated them handles the business disputes here, disagreement by disagreement.

Civil Litigation
Not every dispute settles. The ones that don’t need a litigator, and civil cases here are prepared for trial from day one.
One Attorney, Start to Finish
A car crash that surfaces in the middle of a divorce, or a handshake business deal that ends up in litigation, does not get handed to a different office. The same attorney who took the first call is the one who prepares the file and the one who argues it, whichever of the five areas it falls under.

An Attorney Who Reads the File Himself
Before law school, James Hann spent five years as a police dispatcher for the UC San Diego Police Department, at the center of investigations as they were recorded. That background shapes how this firm treats evidence: a police report is a starting point to be verified, not a verdict. Since earning his law degree in 2001, James has practiced across injury, family, business, and contract law. That cross-practice background carries into how a file gets built. Insurance policy language gets the same scrutiny a contract dispute would get, and every case is prepared as if a trial date is already on the calendar.
