Thomas William James

If you are looking for representation for an automobile accident injury or if your automobile insurance company has refused to honor your policy, then call me. I focus my practice on auto accidents, first-party lawsuits, attendant care claims and insurance coverage disputes. With more than 25 trials, I'm a tenacious advocate for my clients.

I began my legal career at the prosecutor's office in St. Joseph's County, Michigan even before graduating from law school. After successfully completing the rigorous demands of "Prosecutor's Boot Camp", I immediately entered the courtroom and began trying cases. To date, I have taken over 25 cases to trial fighting for the rights of victims and against those who break the law.

I bring this considerable trial experience to Michigan Auto Law. I joined the firm in 2004 and continue my fight against those who break the law; however, the wrongdoers in my current cases are the insurance companies who refuse to honor their legal obligations to their clients and deny payment of reasonable and necessary expenses stemming from car accidents.

I earned my Law Degree with Honors from Michigan State University College of Law. While in law school, I was the Editor-in-chief to the Journal of Business and Securities Law; captain of three national, interschool, mock-trial competition teams; president of both the student chapters of ATLA and MTLA; Dean's list member and I earned numerous awards for my legal writing including publication of an article on SEC disclosure requirements. Prior to law school, I earned my Masters in Business Administration (M.B.A.) from Golden Gate University in San Francisco, CA and an undergraduate accounting degree from San Jose State University where I was a member of the Beta Alpa Psi honor society.
