James F. McNiff, II

James McNiff is a native of the Boston area. He has been a member of the Massachusetts Bar for over twenty years. He was in solo practice in Boston and in York Harbor, Maine, from 1985 through 2002, when he moved to Washington, D.C. His practice concentrated in litigation of all kinds in state and federal trial and appellate courts in Massachusetts and Maine. Until he closed his York Harbor office in late 2002, he was admitted to the Bars of Massachusetts, Maine, and New Hampshire and practicing in all three of those states.

He received his B.A. from Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut, in 1975, and his J.D. from the Vanderbilt University School of Law in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1984. Before attending Vanderbilt, he was a Teaching Fellow at Boston College in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts; and, before arriving in the St. Louis area in 2006, he was a Visiting Scholar at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.
