About James
Biography
I am a Certified Public Accountant in Missouri, and have an LL.M. in taxation from Washington University School of Law. My legal career has been centered on commerical litigation, for which I have been named a Missouri-Kansas Super Lawyer for many years, and on certain areas of personal injury litigation, including medical malpractice and Jones Act/FELA. I have also spent a considerable time in the areas of maritime law and tax controversy work. I have tried many bench and jury cases in Missouri, Illinois and other states, and have appeared in oral argument in numerous appellate courts, including the United States Supreme Court. I am an avid golfer, but my busy law practice keeps my handicap too high. I enjoy outdoor and lake related activities. I am married and have five children, all boys.
