James A. Caputo has focused his practice on the prosecution of complex litigation involving securities fraud and corporate misfeasance, consumer actions, unfair business practices, contamination and toxic torts, and employment and labor law violations. He has successfully served as lead or co-lead counsel in numerous class and consumer action litigation matters, including, for example, In re S3 Sec. Litig., Case No. CV770003 (Super. Ct., Santa Clara Cty.); Santiago v. Kia Motors Am., Case No. 01CC01438 (Super. Ct, Orange Cty); 0988 MJJ (N.D. Cal.); In re Fleming Co. Sec. Litig., No. 5:02-CV-178 (TJW) (E.D.

Mr. Caputo received a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Pittsburgh in 1970 and an Master of Arts degree from the University of Iowa in 1975. In 1984, he received his Juris Doctor degree, magna cum laude, from California Western School of Law, where he served as Editor-in-Chief of the International Law Journal. He also clerked for Presiding Justice Daniel J. Kremer of the California Court of Appeal from 1985-1987 and to Associate Justice Don R. Work of the California Court of Appeal from 1984-1985. He has co-authored: No Single Cause: Juvenile Delinquency and the Search for Effective Treatment (1985), and authored Comment, Equal Right of Access in Matters of Transboundary Pollution: Its Prospects in Industrial and Developing Countries, 14 Cal. West. Intl. L. J. 192 (1984). Mr. Caputo has also given numerous presentations to various legal and professional groups regarding complex and class action litigation.
