About James
Biography
I enjoy helping my clients understand how the law affects what's going on in their lives and what can be done about it.
While in the Marine Corps Reserves, I realized that I really liked helping my Marines through the problems they faced in their lives. I went to law school so that I could continue helping people find solutions to the issues facing them.
Now, I'm an Associate Attorney at Pfeifer Morgan & Stesiak, a law firm focused on helping individuals who have suffered an injury or loss.
My goal is to help every client understand their situation and the laws that affect them. That means breaking down all that complicated legal jargon and talking in plain English so that they can understand it. I'll do the same for the jury and bring my client's story to life so that the jury can understand what my client has gone through.
Outside the office, I enjoy hiking at the Indiana Dunes, mushroom hunting (mostly morels because I don't know many others by sight and I like to avoid seeing things that aren't actually there) and watching movies with my wife (she likes to play "Name that Movie" but I usually lose as she remembers the most odd quotes).
