James A. Lester, Attorney

Mr. Lester is an education law attorney who helps families across Michigan resolve school problems.

Mr. Lester graduated from Wayne State University Law School in 1997 (cum laude) and was admitted to the State Bar of Michigan that same year.  He has served as President of the Branch County Bar Association and is a former municipal attorney and city prosecutor.  He has been practicing education law since 2004.

Mr. Lester is concerned about the growing number of families in Michigan that are experiencing problems and disagreements with their schools.  Education is a legal right for all children and an essential foundation for each child's future.  Sometimes schools fail to identify or meet the needs of children who do not fit the "typical" mold, or who start to have academic, social or discipline problems.  Mr. Lester believes that such children must not be cast aside by our school system.  His law office is committed to protecting and promoting the educational rights and interests of all children.

Mr. Lester recognizes the importance of preserving positive relationships between parents and schools whenever possible.  Although litigation is sometimes necessary to enforce a legal right, when feasible Mr. Lester prefers to first pursue negotiations focused on constructive problem-solving. Often, this is all that is necessary to produce an acceptable resolution.

Mr. Lester grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and obtained his education in the Detroit area.  He is centrally located in Coldwater, Michigan less than an hour's drive from Kalamazoo, Battle Creek, Lansing, and Jackson.  His services are available anywhere in Michigan.

Mr. Lester is available by appointment only.  For more information, or to request assistance with your situation, contact James Lester.
