I love my work. I help people when they are down, and provide answers when they have been injured or lost a loved one. Being injured through no fault of your own can be very confusing and stressful. Being unable to work and watching medical bills pile up simply adds insult to injury. For clients who are grieving the loss of a loved one, the last thing they want to do is navigate through the confusing waters of insurance procedures or deal with investigators. Many of my clients are often thrust unwillingly into a very confusing and unclear environment. My goal is to treat each of them as I would a good friend. I understand that every case is different, which is why it’s always my goal to work with each client individually to obtain the best possible outcome. I realize that my client’s case is their only case, and therefore the most important one. After the case is over, I know I’ve done my best work for a client since we have gone through it together.

I have handled thousands of cases.  Put my knowledge, experience and dedication to work for you.  As your attorney, I will aggressively fight for the results you want and need.

I have always wanted to be a lawyer. Not just any lawyer. I wanted to be a lawyer that could be the voice of those who were voiceless. I wanted to stand up for those who didn’t know how to stand up for themselves. As a child I remember getting in the most trouble because I always spoke out against anything that I did not agree with or when someone was being mistreated. My desire is that everyone would be treated the same way no matter the walks of life they come from. One of my favorite quotes is by the late civil rights leader, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”. I was born and raised in DeLand, Florida. I grew up in a faith based home with parents who encouraged me to use the passion and gift of speaking that God gave me to do great things. I decided in 7th grade that I was going to go to Florida A&M University and become a criminal defense attorney. With much determination I did just that. I graduated from FAMU in just three years majoring in Philosophy with minor in Political Science. I continued towards my dreams and attended Florida A&M University College of Law in Orlando, where I obtained my J.D. Shortly after I was admitted to the bar, I decided to go straight to work and started my own small firm, L.L. James Legal Services. Although I was small, I helped whoever came to me for legal representation and advice. All I wanted was to get to work and see my dreams become reality. During such time, I began to be mentored by Judge Hubert Grimes and Judge James Clayton in Volusia County.. In 2014, I decided to make a difference by working on the other side, so I accepted a position with the State Attorney’s Office of the 7th Judicial Circuit. I started as an Assistant State Attorney in the Misdemeanor Division in Daytona Beach and was then transferred to Misdemeanor Division in DeLand. I subsequently ended up in Felony Division where I prosecuted several types of criminal cases including, DUI, Battery, Fleeing & Elude, Aggravated Assault, Burglary, and drug offenses. As a prosecutor, I was responsible for prosecuting in all stages from filing of charges to trial. But even as a prosecutor I maintained my stance of being a voice to the voiceless by being sure to treat everyone fairly and with respect while representing the State of Florida.. My dreams of dedicating my skills, knowledge and position to serving the community and establishing a career in criminal defense has began in my current position with Damore, Delgado & Romanik. I am excited and determined to use this position to continue to serve the community by providing outstanding legal services with my own style and voice.. When I am not practicing law, I enjoy vacationing with my husband and son, spending time with my big family, participating in church activities, playing tennis, scrapbooking, and event planning.
