James A. Knowlton, Attorney and Counselor

I was born in Aspen Colorado the son of a 10th Mountain Division soldier and east coast mother. The mountains, rivers and valleys of the Roaring Fork Valley are indelibly ingrained in my soul.

My experience after practicing law for almost 35 years is my most valuable asset. Because of my experience, I understand how to apply the law to a wide variety of issues to achieve my clients goals in as an affordable way possible.

It is not enough to be clever in arguing the law, it is not enough to be a tough negotiator or zealous in your representation; a good lawyer uses the the law to achieve the best result for the client as intended by the higher purpose of the rule of law. Being able to organize, orchestrate and balance competing interest is how I bring value to my relationship with my clients.
