James Wu
Although all of KK&B's lawyers regularly meet clients at our Danbury office, it is James Wu who manages this office for KK&B. James also operates his own law firm from the firm's Danbury office. A former partner at a Waterbury firm, James has earned a state-wide reputation for competent, effective advocacy. He is also widely respected for his high ethical standards, decency and gentlemanly demeanor.
James practice concentrates in the area of personal injury resulting from automobile accidents and motorcycle accidents, property hazards, dog attacks and falls. He is known for his effective courtroom advocacy as well as his negotiating skills. Since his association with KK&B began, James has effectively tried and settled countless cases for his clients.
