About James
Benefits of Generational Wisdom
James first realized his love of the courtroom at age 10. The presiding judge was Patricia Mucklestone, (also known as "mom"). The witness on the stand contradicted himself during prolonged questioning by his own attorney. Young James pointed this out to the opposing attorney, who raised that point to the court. The decision was made against the witness.
​
James had a new goal from that point forward, and graduated from law school 13 years later.
​
After developing a passion for fast convertibles and building his own hot rod (a '70 Buick GSX- license plate RASERX), traffic defense became a natural--and necessary--area of expertise.
​
Mom and Dad, John and Patricia Mucklestone, each practiced law for over 50 years. They were examples of integrity and dedication to their children, many of whom followed in their footsteps as attorneys. Brother John Patrick Mucklestone, sister Jeannie Mucklestone and James have now been defending clients in Washington State for over 30 years.
While driving through Kansas City on a road trip, James and his family were drawn to the family-friendly atmosphere (and the BBQ!) and they were inspired to relocate. Now the Chiefs and Royals have new fans and Kansas City defendants can benefit from James' courtroom knowledge and expertise.
James Mucklestone
Attorney
James saved my bacon, representing me for a traffic ticket. It was a ticket where you had to be there or have a lawyer representing you. Being from out of state, it was more of a burden. The fee was more than reasonable. His manner was very pleasant and easy to get along with.
I would recommend James.

If you live in the Kansas City Missouri area, and have need for a driving defense lawyer, here's your guy.
I have known James for over a decade and have always known him to be a man of integrity, strong work ethic, a man of faith and results oriented. He has helped me and my family settle a ticket that I thought for sure could not be disputed, but he found a way. He is very knowledgable with decades of experience. I highly recommend him.
