About Charles
Biography
I was born in Senath, Missouri which is in the Bootheel of Missouri. After graduating from high school, I joined the Air Force where I had the opportunity to see some of the world. I was also in the Navy before attending college at Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. I received a Masters degree from what is now Truman University while working for Probation and Parole in Moberly, Missouri. I then attended the University of Missouri at Columbia law school. I have lived in St. Charles County for 36 years. Two of my three sons are lawyers and we work together in our law firm in St. Peters, Missouri.

Recognized as the top attorney in St.louis/St.Charles
Charlie is connected, aggressive, results-focused. He knows all the players required to negotiate a successful settlement as he did for me. His 40 years (?) of litigation and trial experience will be brought to bear. I've hired him. I've referred him. I will contact no other for representation -...

Great Lawyer
Charlie James and his sons were so helpful. I really appreciated everything they did for me. They kept me informed of what was happening in my case and returned all my calls. I am very happy with the outcome of my case.
Charles F. James's Lawyer Endorsements
"If I needed a criminal defense attorney or personal injury attorney Charlie would be my first choice."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Charlie James is one of the best trial lawyers in the state of Missouri. He is as skilled trying a personal injury case as he is defending a client accused of a crime. As they say in St. Charles County, "He ain't pretty, but he's good.""
"I endorse this lawyer 100%."
"I have practiced law for over 35 years and have observed Charlie James along with many other lawyers. I have never seen an attorney as prepared for his cases as Charlie is. Besides being prepared, he has the personality and intelligence to sway judges and juries, both of which I have observed on numerous occasions. If I needed an attorney to represent me or my family in a personal injury or criminal case, there is no one that I would consider except Charlie James."
