Meet James

Meet James

I’m running for Superior Court Judge because I believe my experience as a Kittitas County Court Commissioner and criminal defense attorney makes me uniquely qualified to serve the citizens of Kittitas County.

Since 2008, I have been the owner and principal attorney for Kirkham Law Office in Ellensburg. Our practice covers a diverse range of legal matters, including criminal defense, traffic infractions, estate planning, and civil matters. Last year, I was appointed as a Superior Court Commissioner with responsibility for the court’s juvenile, protection order, and civil family law dockets.

I’m a graduate of Central Washington University where I received my bachelor’s degree in political science and public policy with a minor in economics. I received my law degree from Gonzaga University in Spokane.

Thank you for visiting my website to learn more about me and my campaign. I ask for your vote.
