James Sheehan

James Sheehan has been a trial lawyer in Tampa and St. Petersburg, Florida, for three decades. Born and raised in New York City, he grew up in a four-room railroad apartment with his five brothers and sisters and his mom and dad. From the age of twelve, Sheehan shone shoes at a local shoe repair shop, and by fourteen, he had a newspaper route. He worked at a local delicatessen after school, at an antique store, as a short-order cook through his college years, and as a roofer's assistant while attending grad school in Florida. His experiences growing up in New York have shaped his life.
