About James

A trial lawyer who has developed a regional Workers Compensation practice since 1988, Mr. Flandreau is the chairman of the Delaware County Bar Association's Workers' Compensation and Employment Law.  Originally, Mr. Flandreau specialized in counseling and representing self-insured employers and fully insured employers.  However, in 2003, he shifted the focus of his practice to protecting the rights and the workers' compensation benefits of workers injured on the job.

Mr. Flandreau carefully reviews the facts of each case and gathers the documentation and evidence needed to win at trial and get his clients the benefits to which they are entitled.  His goal is to provide personal attention and quality representation.

Terence McGraw, Workers compensation Attorney on Jul 18, 2012
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

I endorse this lawyer. Jim is one of the most organized, "buttoned down" lawyers I know. This trait, combined with his superior acumen, intellect, and judgment make him a formidable advocate. When Jim is on the opposite side of a case, he always raises my game. I endorse him wholeheartedly.
