James M. Kane, Attorney

James, before law school a Revenue Agent with the IRS large-case examination division in Atlanta, now handles primarily wills and trust planning and litigation consulting. For the past 15 years, James concentrated primarily on wills and trust litigation. James's planning work now takes into account his IRS, tax, estate & trust planning, and litigation experience so as to better identify, understand, and address a client's planning issues and needs. James assists other lawyers as a consulting and expert witness in litigation matters with wills and trust issues (including divorce cases). James also handles asset protection, and prenuptial (postnuptial) planning, influenced by the various hurdles James sees, and has experienced, in the litigation arena.

James is licensed in Georgia, North Carolina, and New York, and previously was with Atlanta law firms Sutherland, Asbill & Brennan and Chamberlain, Hrdlicka, White, Williams & Aughtry. James attended Emory University Law School, with  undergraduate finance (University of Georgia) and graduate business (Georgia State University) degrees. Although he never worked as a CPA, James held a CPA certificate during his time with the IRS. James maintains his legal blog, and writes frequently for Leimberg Information Services.
