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.

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.

You will know what is happening in your case, and why, before any decision is made.
