James Sexton Lawyer Reviews & Ratings - New City

Sexton has intentionally focused his practice on divorce and family law since his graduation Fordham Law School. In addition to his Juris Doctorate (Law Degree) he has a Master of Arts degree from New York University where he focused his graduate studies on persuasive speech and propaganda. After nearly two decades of refining his skills as a trial lawyer in the Courtrooms of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Rockland, Westchester and Orange Counties, Sexton's legal skills and confidence in the courtroom earned him his place in the top 1% of family law attorneys practicing in New York. In 2018, upon the release of his first book, Sexton added #1 bestselling author, television personality and sought-after podcast guest/public speaker to his resume: his penchant for verbal gymnastics and no-holds-barred approach to argument thrusting him into the national spotlight.. Known for his intensity, focus and discipline, Sexton wakes up at 4:00am every day (including weekends) to meditate, drink pu-ehr tea, work out and immediately begin executing his next "moves" in the never ending chess match of family law. An admitted "computer geek" since the 1980's Sexton keeps his practice on the cutting edge of technology at all times: using the latest cross platform applications to facilitate his "lightning fast" response time without sacrificing his OCD enforced attention to detail.. Sexton serves a diverse but select roster of clients that includes everything from "Fortune 500" CEO's, world renowned surgeons, entertainment personalities and high end financial professionals to law enforcement, teachers and stay-at-home moms. Relentless in and out of the courtroom, Sexton ensures that each and every case he agrees to take on is given the personalized attention it deserves.. A longtime advocate for marriage equality and LGBTQ+ individuals and families, Sexton has served for nearly twenty years as a Consulting Attorney for Lambda Legal and a popular speaker at the annual "Lavender Law" Conference (the largest national symposium for LGBT legal issues).. Sexton resides in Manhattan (Chelsea) where, in his very limited free time, he enjoys reading,  yoga, tactical firearms and training and competing in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as a active member of the Marcelo Garcia Academy (NYC).. Mr. Sexton meets with clients and potential new client consultations by appointment only.
